DESCRIPTION
       The deco	program	subdivides and colors rectangles randomly.   It	 looks
       kind  of	 like  Brady-Bunch-era	rec-room  wall paneling.  (Raven says:
       "This screensaver is ugly enough	to peel	 paint.")   Can	 also  produce
       more aesthetically pleasing displays via	options.

OPTIONS
       deco accepts the	following options:

       --window
	       Draw on a newly-created window.	This is	the default.

       --root  Draw on the root	window.

       --window-id number
	       Draw on the specified window.

       --mono  If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

       --install
	       Install a private colormap for the window.

       --visual	visual
	       Specify	which  visual  to use.	Legal values are the name of a
	       visual class, or	the id number (decimal or hex) of  a  specific
	       visual.

       --delay seconds
	       How long	to wait	before starting	over.  Default 5 seconds.

       --max-depth integer
	       How deep	to subdivide.  Default 12.

       --min-width integer

       --min-height integer
	       The size	of the smallest	rectangle to draw.  Default 20x20.

       --line-width integer
	       Width  of lines drawn between rectangles. Default zero (minimal
	       width).

       --smooth-colors

       --no-smooth-colors
	       Whether to use a	smooth color palette instead of	a random  one.
	       Less jarring. Default False.

       --golden-ratio

       --no-golden-ratio
	       Whether	to subdivide rectangles	using the golden ratio instead
	       of 1/2.	This ratio is supposed to be more aesthetically	pleas-
	       ing. Default false.

       --mondrian

       --no-mondrian
	       Whether to imitiate style of some famous	paintings by Piet Mon-
	       drian.  Overrides  line-width  and  colormap  options.  Default
	       false.

       --fps   Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
	       to  get	the  name of a resource	file that overrides the	global
