       Floatbg doesn't use any window, button or menu, and it can only be stopped by killing it.

Description

       Floatbg  is an X11 program that modifies the color of the root window in such a manner that you won't see
       the color change, but after a while you'll notice that it did change, however.

       Floatbg starts with a random color and changes it deterministically by moving  through  an  hsv-model  of
       colors.   In  the hsv-model, colors are described by three parameters: Hue stands for the tint of a color
       (0 degrees is red, 60 = yellow, 120  =  green,  180  =  aquamarine,  etc),  saturations  stands  for  the
       brightness  of  the  color  (0 = white, 1 = bright), and value stands for the intensity of the color (0 =
       black, 1 = normal).

       Every 10 seconds the hue (tint) is increased by one degree and the saturation (brightness) is changed  by
       a  sinus  over  the  hue.   (The frequency of this change can be adjusted with the -time parameter.)  The
       shape of this sinus can be adapted with the options -satmid, -satvar and -fase.  The value (blackness) is
       fixed and can be set with the option -value.  The default values are: floatbg-value.87-satmid.375-satvar.125-fase.25, and are such that all pastel tints are visited.

       Extremely simplistic Gnome and Xfce support can be enabled with the -gnome and -xfce flags.
