413Compile frills: Disable (or enable) emitting bracketed paste mode
414sequences (default enabled). Bracketed paste mode allows programs
415to detect when something is pasted. Since more and more programs
416abuse this, these sequences can be disabled. The command sequences to
417enable and query paste mode will still work, but the actual bracket
418sequences will no longer be emitted. You can also toggle this from the
419ctrl-middle-mouse-button menu; resource B<disablePasteBrackets>.

1192In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1193keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1194providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1195the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.

1197Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:

1320
1321sets scale and position. B<"W" / "H"> specify the horizontal/vertical
1322scale (percent), and B<"X" / "Y"> locate the image centre (percent). A
1323scale of 0 disables scaling.
1324

1336the image offset, simulating a root window background
1337
1338=back
1339
1340The default scale and position setting is C<100x100+50+50>.
1341Alternatively, a predefined set of templates can be used to achieve
1342the most common setups:
1343
1344=over 4
1345
1346=item B<style=tiled>
1347
1348the image is tiled with no scaling. Equivalent to 0x0+0+0:op=tile
1349
1350=item B<style=aspect-stretched>
1351
1352the image is scaled to fill the whole window maintaining the aspect
1353ratio and centered. Equivalent to 100x100+50+50:op=keep-aspect
1354
1355=item B<style=stretched>
1356
1357the image is scaled to fill the whole window. Equivalent to 100x100
1358
1359=item B<style=centered>
1360
1361the image is centered with no scaling. Equivalent to 0x0+50+50
1362
1363=item B<style=root-tiled>
1364
1365the image is tiled with no scaling and using 'root' positioning.
1366Equivalent to 0x0:op=tile:op=root-align
1367
1368=back
1369
1370If multiple templates are specified the last one wins. Note that a
1371template overrides all the scale, position and operations settings.
1372
1373If used in conjunction with pseudo-transparency, the specified pixmap
1374will be blended over the transparent background using alpha-blending.
1375
1376=item B<-tr>|B<+tr>

1382B<-ip> (B<inheritPixmap>) is still accepted as an obsolete alias but
1383will be removed in future versions.
1384
1385=item B<-tint> I<colour>
1386
1387=item B<tintColor:> I<colour>
1388
1389Tint the transparent background with the given colour. Note that a
1390black tint yields a completely black image while a white tint yields
1391the image unchanged.
1392
1393=item B<-sh> I<number>
1394
1395=item B<shading:> I<number>
1396
1397Darken (0 .. 99) or lighten (101 .. 200) the transparent background.
1398A value of 100 means no shading.
1399
1400=item B<-blr> I<HxV>
1401
1402=item B<blurRadius:> I<HxV>
1403
1404Apply gaussian blur with the specified radius to the transparent
1405background. If a single number is specified, the vertical and
1406horizontal radii are considered to be the same. Setting one of the
1407radii to 1 and the other to a large number creates interesting effects
1408on some backgrounds. The maximum radius value is 128. An horizontal or
1409vertical radius of 0 disables blurring.
1410
1411=item B<path:> I<path>
1412
1413Specify the colon-delimited search path for finding background image files.

1556C< ESC [ 38 ; 2 ; R ; G ; Bm > / C< ESC [ 48 ; 2; R ; G ; Bm >. However the
1557number of 24-bit colours that can be used is limited: an internal 7x7x5 (256
1558colour mode) or 6x6x4 (88 colour mode) colour cube is used to index into the
155924-bit colour space. When indexing collisions happen, the nearest old colour in
1560the cube will be adapted to the new 24-bit RGB colour. That means one cannot
1561use many similar 24-bit colours. It's typically not a problem in common
1562scenarios.
