19Just load a random jpeg image and tile the background with it without
20scaling or anything else:
21
22 load "/path/to/img.jpg"
23
24The same, but use mirroring/reflection instead of tiling:
25
26 mirror load "/path/to/img.jpg"
27
28Load an image and scale it to exactly fill the terminal window:
29
30 scale keep { load "/path/to/img.jpg" }
31
32Implement pseudo-transparency by using a suitably-aligned root pixmap
33as window background:
34
35 rootalign root
36
37Likewise, but keep a blurred copy:
38

186=head2 COLOUR SPECIFICATIONS
187
188Whenever an operator expects a "colour", then this can be specified in one
189of two ways: Either as string with an X11 colour specification, such as:
190
191 "red" # named colour
192 "#f00" # simple rgb
193 "[50]red" # red with 50% alpha
194 "TekHVC:300/50/50" # anything goes
195
196OR as an array reference with one, three or four components:
197
198 [0.5] # 50% gray, 100% alpha
199 [0.5, 0, 0] # dark red, no green or blur, 100% alpha
200 [0.5, 0, 0, 0.7] # same with explicit 70% alpha

563A common use case is to fade the background image when the terminal loses
564focus, often together with the C<-fade> command line option. In fact,
565there is a special function for just that use case: C<focus_fade>.
