              1: - pad horizontally and tile vertically

              3: - pad both vertically and horizontally to make the image the
              size of the screen.



       Scale [geometry]

              scale image to specified geometry. If geometry is omitted the
              image will be scaled to the screen size.



       Tint color





       Use type  "data"

              Specifies what to use as the root background. Possible type
              values are :

              0: load image from the file. In that case "data" should specify
              filename.

              1: Use MyStyle definition to fill root. In that case "data"
              should specify one of the MyStyle names defined in your look
              file.

              2: Use external application to set root background. "data"
              should specify command line options to this external app. If you
              wish to use another application to display the root background,
              you need to set the "--with-imageloader" flag to use that
              application then recompile AfterStep.)

              The remaining options will perform transformations on the source
              image, in this order:
