What were you trying to do?
xsetroot -rv
What's wrong:
insted of getting the reverse image, one gets the default background.
What should have happened:
black <--> white
Given any root, the white pixels should become black, and the
black pixels should become white. At this is what the man page
would lead me to believe should happen.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
from man xsetroot,
-rv This exchanges the foreground and background colors.
Normally the foreground color is black and the back-
ground color is white.
You didn't read enough of the man page. It also says:
-fg color
Use ``color'' as the foreground color. Foreground and
background colors are meaningful only in combination
with -cursor, -bitmap, or -mod.
Since -rv affects the foreground and background colors, it is only
applicable to -cursor, -bitmap or -mod.
