<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<I>Xrefresh</I>
|
|
|
|
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</I>
|
|
|
|
maps a window on top of the desired area of the screen and then immediately
|
|
unmaps it,
|
|
causing refresh events to be sent to all applications. 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.

|
|
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="1"><B>-white</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Use a white background. The screen just appears to flash quickly, and then
|
|
repaint.
|
|
</DL>

|
<DL COMPACT>

<DT id="2"><B>-black</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
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.
|

|
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="3"><B>-solid </B><I>color</I>

<H2>X DEFAULTS</H2>
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<I>xrefresh</I>
|
|
|
|
program uses the routine
|
|
<I><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+XGetDefault">XGetDefault</A>(3)</I>
|
|
|
|
to read defaults, so its resource names are all capitalized.
