+## Dotfiles
+
+My local scripts & configuration files. Installation and management
+is done through the makefile FreeBSD.mk. Files that end with the
+(unfortunately ambiguous) ".fix" suffix contain strings like "xDK0h"
+that are defined in colordef\*.sh and are replaced/processed using
+sed by way of fixcolor.sh.
+
+My Quake 3 config is also included here, though there's probably
+something wrong with it.
+
+All files (unless explicitly stated otherwise) are made available under
+the 2-clause simplified BSD license; see LICENSE for the full text. 
+
+### Environment & Software Choices
+
+My system is, generally speaking, a modern amd64 PC running X windows
+on FreeBSD. 1080p (1920x1080) resolution, true color support (even in
+the terminal), et cetera. A pretty normal set of hardware in 2021 but
+worth calling out. These config files are written for that setup.
+
+I use the X windows programs alacritty, conky, dunst, herbstluftwm,
+jgmenu, mpv, picom, redshift, and tint2. Terminal emulator, system monitor,
+notification daemon, window manager, menu, video player, compositor,
+automated color temperature changer, and panel/taskbar respectively.
+
+On the console I use cmus, irssi, mutt, newsboat, and vim. Music player,
+IRC client, mail user agent, RSS reader, and editor respectively.
+
+Nothing too unusual in those lists.
+
+### Shell Scripts
+
+Most of the shell scripts in this repository are generalized frontends
+to various utilities, some with a bit of extra logic in them.
+
+bin/aliases.sh are my shell aliases, nothing fancy. bin/run_tv.sh and
+bin/youtube.sh are very basic, not much more than aliases.
+
+bin/back.sh is an X windows background (root image) setter, a frontend for
+hsetroot (https://github.com/himdel/hsetroot) capable of selecting random
+images from a list or directory.
+
+bin/words.sh is a little tool that randomly selects n words from a file,
+default 3 words from /usr/share/bin/words.
+
+bin/xvt.sh runs a new terminal emulator in the current working directory
+of the shell running in the currently selected window. It's a bit weird,
+doesn't always work.
+
+bin/lc.sh is an ls-like that lists files in a directory and colorizes
+the output based on filetype, filesize, and other criteria determined in
+a great big case statement. Only tested on FreeBSD. Please don't alias or
+otherwise call it as ls, it's a very bad idea.
+
+config/redshift/hooks/background.sh is an automated background selector &
+setter launched by redshift (http://jonls.dk/redshift/) when the redshift
+period (day, transition, night) changes. I use sets of background art from
+visual novels that depict scenes at different times of day. The conky
+config at config/conky/conky.conf also hooks into this to draw a character
+image with appropriate (day, transition, night) tinting and an expression
+based on system load average.
+
+### Missing Dependencies
+
+Some of these config files, notably config/cmus/rc, require or reference
+scripts I've written that aren't in this repository. I intend to publish
+those missing scripts soon either in their own repo or in this one.

-# Part of an unnecessarily complicated automated background/wallpaper
-# changing system. To be documented soon(ish).
+#- lc.sh 2020/05/12 cev, last updated 2021/12/12
+## Usage: background.sh [-hvV] command argument1 argument2
+## 
+##     Redshift hook script for automated background setting based on
+##     day/night period. Requires a directory of background files and
+##     a directory of character files.
+## 
+##       -h     Show help.
+##       -v     Verbose output (for debugging? purposes).
+##       -V     Print version info.
+## 
+##     Valid commands are currently:
+##       clear               Clear temporary files.
+##       period-changed      Set background to one corresponding with argument2.
+## 
+##     This script expects wallpaper filenames to have three fields separated
+##     by an underscore: name, scene name, and period (day, interval, and
+##     night). For example:
+##         game1_scene1_day.jpg
+##         game1_scene1_interval.jpg
+##         game1_scene1_night.jpg
+##         game1_scene2_day.jpg
+##             ... and so on.
+## 
+##     Character filenames are similarly separated by underscore and have four
+##     fields: name, character name, period, and s1 through s3 (where s1 is
+##     displayed on low system load average and s3 on high). An example:
+##         game1_character1_day_s1.jpg
+##         game1_character1_day_s2.jpg
+##         game1_character1_day_s3.jpg
+##         game1_character1_interval_s1.jpg
+##             ... and so on, filling out the necessary combinations.
+## 
+##     For more information read the script, it's not too complicated.
