decayscreen(6) XScreenSaver manual decayscreen(6) NAME decayscreen - make a screen meltdown. SYNOPSIS decayscreen [--display host:display.screen] [--window] [--root] [--win- dow-id number] [--mono] [--install] [--visual visual] [--delay usecs] [--duration secs] [--mode mode] [--fps] DESCRIPTION The decayscreen program creates a melting effect by randomly shifting rec- tangles around the screen. The image that it manipulates will be grabbed from the portion of the screen underlying the window, or from the system's video input, or from a random file on disk, as indicated by the grabDesktopImages, grabVide- oFrames, and chooseRandomImages options in the ~/.xscreensaver file; see xscreensaver-settings(1) for more details. OPTIONS decayscreen 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 microseconds Slow it down. --duration seconds How long to run before loading a new image. Default 120 seconds. --mode mode The direction in which the image should tend to slide. Legal val- ues are random (meaning pick one), up, left, right, down, upleft, downleft, upright, downright, shuffle (meaning prefer no particular direction), in (meaning move things toward the center), out (mean- ing move things away from the center), melt (meaning melt straight downward), stretch (meaning stretch the screen downward), and fuzz (meaning go blurry instead of melty). --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 re- sources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW The window ID to use with --root. SEE ALSO X(1), xscreensaver(1), xscreensaver-settings(1), xscreensaver-getimage(6) COPYRIGHT Copyright 1992 by Vivek Khera.
