NAME
       spotlight - move	spotlight around desktop

SYNOPSIS
       spotlight [--display host:display.screen] [--foreground color] [--back-
       ground  color]  [--window] [--root] [--window-id	number][--mono]	[--in-

DESCRIPTION
       The  spotlight  program takes an	image and exposes small	sections of it
       as if through a wandering spotlight beam.

       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.
