Hello. I haven't posted here before but I am a long-time user. I hope this is the right place for my question.
I had a need to get a copy of the root background (the "desktop
wallpaper") as it currently looks: not the original image that may have
been tiled/centered/stretched but how it actually looks on screen (or
screens!) right now.
I couldn't find anything to do it - I had hoped perhaps that "xwd" would
be able to.
Is there something else that can do that?
If not, I wondered if there would be interest in taking a patch to make
xwd do it because I've a added "-bg" option to "xwd" myself.
My patch allows one to do this:
$ xwd -root -bg | convert - bg.png
Here is an example: http://imgur.com/NeVv5wa. It also works with
individual windows with or without frames.
I'm just enquiring in case I missed a tool and to see if it's worth
submitting a patch.
Thank you for your time.
