# xrefresh
Xrefresh 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.
Xrefresh 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.
