The pile is periodically reshuffled, with new images coming in and old ones being thrown out. This program requires a good video card capable of supporting large tex- tures. To specify the directory that images are loaded from, run xscreensaver-set- tings(1) and click on the "Advanced" tab. OPTIONS --visual visual Specify which visual to use.

Default 7. --scale factor Size of images in relation to the size of the window. Default 0.4. --maxTilt degrees Maximum deviation from vertical. Default 50 degrees. --duration seconds Every duration seconds, one of the images will be replaced with a new one.
