In the man page: BACKGROUND SETTING feh can also be used as a background setter. Unless you pass the --no-fehbg option, it will store the command line necessary to set the background in ~/.fehbg, so to have your background restored every time you start X, you can add eval $(cat ~/.fehbg) to your X startup script (like ~/.xinitrc). Note that all options except --bg-tile support Xinerama. For instance, if you have multiple screens connected and use e.g. --bg-center, feh will center the image on each screen. You may even specify more than one file, in that case, the first file is set on screen 0, the second on screen 1, and so on. Use --no-xinerama to treat the whole X display as one screen when setting wallpapers. --bg-center Center the file on the background. If it is too small, it will be surrounded by a black border --bg-fill Like --bg-scale, but preserves aspect ratio by zooming the image until it fits. Either a horizontal or a vertical part of the image will be cut off --bg-max Like --bg-fill, but scale the image to the maximum size that fits the screen with black borders on one side. --bg-scale Fit the file into the background without repeating it, cutting off stuff or using borders. But the aspect ratio is not preserved either --bg-tile Tile (repeat) the image in case it is too small for the screen --no-fehbg Do not write a ~/.fehbg file I've used just --bg-fill and it works quiet well for me. -- Javier. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
