+hsetroot is a tool which allows you to compose wallpapers ("root pixmaps")
+for X. It has a lot of options like rendering gradients, solids, images
+but it also allows you to perform manipulations on those things, or chain
+them together. You could use one standard background image for isntance,
+and using tint to make it fit your current theme. And yes, of course it
+is compatible with semi-translucent applications like aterm and xchat.
+
+This requires imlib2.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
+# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must make
+# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also customary to
+# leave one space after the ':'.
