By default, +a window with no background is used, causing all applications to repaint +``smoothly.'' +However, the various options can be used to indicate that a solid background +(of any color) or the root window background should be used instead. +.SH ARGUMENTS +.PP +.TP 10 +.B \-white +Use a white background. The screen just appears to flash quickly, and then +repaint. +.PP +.TP 10 +.B \-black +Use a black background (in effect, turning off all of the electron guns to +the tube). This can be somewhat disorienting as everything goes black for +a moment. +.PP +.TP 10 +.B \-solid \fIcolor\fP +Use a solid background of the specified color. Try green. +.PP +.TP 10 +.B \-root +Use the root window background. +.PP +.TP 10 +.B \-none +This is the default. All of the windows simply repaint. +.PP +.TP 10 +.B \-geometry \fIWxH+X+Y\fP +Specifies the portion of the screen to be repainted; see \fIX(1)\fP. +.PP +.TP 10 +.B \-display \fIdisplay\fP +This argument allows you to specify the server and screen to +refresh; see \fIX(1)\fP. +.SH X DEFAULTS +The +.I xrefresh +program uses the routine +.I XGetDefault(3X) +to read defaults, so its resource names are all capitalized. +.PP +.TP 8 +.B Black\fP, \fBWhite\fP, \fBSolid\fP, \fBNone\fP, \fBRoot\fP +Determines what sort of window background to use. +.PP +.TP 8 +.B Geometry +Determines the area to refresh. Not very useful. +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.PP +.TP 8 +DISPLAY - To get default host and display number. +.SH SEE ALSO +X(1) +.SH BUGS +.PP +It should have just one default type for the background. +.SH AUTHORS +Jim Gettys, Digital Equipment Corp., MIT Project Athena |
