;;; Commentary:

;; This module adds X background color setting support to EXWM.

;; To use this module, enable it as follows:
;;
;;   (exwm-background-mode 1)
;;
;; By default, this will apply the theme's background color.  However, that
;; color can be customized via the `exwm-background-color' setting.

;;; Code:
