1. What it is.
WallP is a program that will change your background wallpaper randomly

-preview preview only, the images will be displayed in the preview
window only.
-quit <filename> display this image in the root window and exit
-style <aspect> <scale> <tile> <center> select one of the styles
scale - images are stretched to fit the root window.
aspect - images are stretched but aspect ratio is kept.
center - image is displayed in the center of the root window
its original size is preserved.
tile - the image is tiled in the root window.
