deco(6) XScreenSaver manual deco(6) NAME deco - draw tacky 70s basement wall panelling SYNOPSIS deco [--display host:display.screen] [--foreground color] [--background color] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number] [--mono] [--install] [--vi- sual visual] [--delay seconds] [--max-depth int] [--min-width int] [--min-height int] [--line-width yIint] [--smooth-colors] [--golden-ratio] [--mondrian] [--fps] DESCRIPTION The deco program subdivides and colors rectangles randomly. It looks kind of like Brady-Bunch-era rec-room wall paneling. (Raven says: "This screen- saver 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 pleasing. De- fault 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 re- sources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW The window ID to use with --root.
