DESCRIPTION
Bsetroot is a utility that can control the
appearance of the root window in three ways: Either give it a solid
color, or write a two color modula pattern to it, or render a
gradient texture, based on two different colors.
Bsetroot resembles xsetroot(1)
in this functionality but it supports multiple screen displays, and
gradient textures the same way as Blackbox does. It doesn't handle
cursors etc. Bsetroot is part of the Blackbox package.

one of the first 3 options:
