1175In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of

1178the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.

1297Compile I<pixbuf>: Use the specified image file as the window's
1298background and also optionally specify a colon separated list of
1299operations to modify it. Note that you may need to quote the C<;>
1300character when using the command line option, as C<;> is usually a
1301metacharacter in shells. Supported operations are:

1307sets scale and position. B<"W" / "H"> specify the horizontal/vertical
1308scale (percent), and B<"X" / "Y"> locate the image centre (percent). A
1309scale of 0 disables scaling.

1325
1326The default scale and position setting is C<100x100+50+50>.
1327Alternatively, a predefined set of templates can be used to achieve
1328the most common setups:
1329

1331
1332=item B<style=tiled>
1333
1334the image is tiled with no scaling. Equivalent to 0x0+0+0:op=tile
1335
1336=item B<style=aspect-stretched>
1337
1338the image is scaled to fill the whole window maintaining the aspect
1339ratio and centered. Equivalent to 100x100+50+50:op=keep-aspect
1340
1341=item B<style=stretched>
1342
1343the image is scaled to fill the whole window. Equivalent to 100x100
1344

1346
1347the image is centered with no scaling. Equivalent to 0x0+50+50
1348

1356If multiple templates are specified the last one wins. Note that a
1357template overrides all the scale, position and operations settings.

1359If used in conjunction with pseudo-transparency, the specified pixmap
1360will be blended over the transparent background using alpha-blending.

1372
1373=item B<tintColor:> I<colour>
1374
1375Tint the transparent background with the given colour. Note that a
1376black tint yields a completely black image while a white tint yields
1377the image unchanged.

1389
1390Apply gaussian blur with the specified radius to the transparent
1391background. If a single number is specified, the vertical and
1392horizontal radii are considered to be the same. Setting one of the
1393radii to 1 and the other to a large number creates interesting effects
1394on some backgrounds. The maximum radius value is 128. An horizontal or
1395vertical radius of 0 disables blurring.

1540number of 24-bit colours that can be used is limited: an internal 7x7x5 (256
1541colour mode) or 6x6x4 (88 colour mode) colour cube is used to index into the
154224-bit colour space. When indexing collisions happen, the nearest old colour in
1543the cube will be adapted to the new 24-bit RGB colour. That means one cannot
1544use many similar 24-bit colours. It's typically not a problem in common
1545scenarios.
