About The Project

Foto is a simple image viewer written in C. It simply shows an image to the user, nothing more nothing less. It's designed to be used in scripts so there are no keybinds. You can specify the position or size the window intially appears at, and the background colour.

Installing

sudo make install RELEASE=1
