bsetroot
bsetroot lets you set your background to be either a bitmap, a solid colour, or a gradient.

Command line switches:

-help Shows some help text
-solid colour Changes the background colour to the colour you specify (can be in any format Blackbox accepts, ie. grey, rgb:/80/80/80, #808080 )
-bitmap style bitmap Sets the bitmap as your wallpaper. Style can be tile, stretch or center.
-gradient type -from colour -to colour Paints a gradient as your background.
"from" and "to" are standard colours (as above). "type" can be any of:
rectangle, vertical, horizontal, pyramid, radial, pipecross, diagonal, crossdiagonal.
You can also have them interlaced by appending interlaced to the option, eg: verticalinterlaced. Gradients work exactly like the ones in Blackbox for Windows; currently pyramid, radial and crossdiagonal does not work correctly... :)
