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:

35 rootalign root

37Likewise, but keep a blurred copy:

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

558Returns a boolean indicating whether the terminal window has keyboard

561Using this function makes your expression sensitive to focus changes.
562
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>.

567Example: use two entirely different bacckground images, depending on
568whether the window has focus.
