.SH NAME
|
|
|
|
|
xrefresh - refresh all or part of an X screen
|
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
.B "xrefresh"

|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
.I Xrefresh
|
|
|
|
|
is a simple X program that causes all or part of your screen to be repainted.
|
|
|
|
|
This is useful when system messages have messed up your screen.
|
|
|
|
|
.I Xrefresh
|
|
|
|
|
maps a window on top of the desired area of the screen and then immediately
|
2013-05-31 13:52:53 -06:00
|
|
|
unmaps it,
|
2006-11-26 03:43:56 -07:00
|
|
|
causing refresh events to be sent to all applications. By default,
|
|
|
|
|
a window with no background is used, causing all applications to repaint
|
|
|
|
|
``smoothly.''
|
2013-05-31 13:52:53 -06:00
|
|
|
However, the various options can be used to indicate that a solid background
|
2006-11-26 03:43:56 -07:00
|
|
|
(of any color) or the root window background should be used instead.
|
|

repaint.

.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.
