Overview
This manual page documents briefly the drapes command.
drapes completes (or replaces) the built-in GNOME desktop wallpapers selection tool. It can be configured as a tray application or as a panel applet. The bigest selling point of drapes is ability to rotate wallapers on a timely basis. It strives to be as simple as possible and fits in the rest of the GNOME 2 desktop.
