BGCOLOR(6)                      Domain/OS SysV                      BGCOLOR(6)



NAME
     bgcolor - make interesting background colors

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/games/bgcolor [options]

DESCRIPTION
     bgcolor changes the display's background colors.

OPTIONS
     -s[lot] num Specify the color as value from the color table. The default
                 value is 4.

     -c[olor] rgbval
                 Specify the color as an RGB value.

     -f[ade]     Change color continuously, cycling through RGB values.

     -i[ncrement] num
                 Change RGB value by num for each color update induced by the
                 -fade option.  Higher values cause the background color to
                 cycle more quickly. Default value is 1.

     -d[evice] name
                 Set the device to be used by bgcolor.  Possible values for
                 name are borrow (use entire display), borrow_nc (same as
                 borrow but doesn't clear screen first), direct (in current
                 window only), and bg (use display background).

     -nb         Display no borders around target window.

BUGS
     bgcolor produces unpredictable results on monochrome displays.
