13 The decayscreen program creates a melting effect by randomly shifting
14 rectangles around the screen.
15
16 The image that it manipulates will be grabbed from the portion of the
17 screen underlying the window, or from the system's video input, or from
18 a random file on disk, as indicated by the grabDesktopImages, grabVide‐
19 oFrames, and chooseRandomImages options in the ~/.xscreensaver file;
20 see xscreensaver-demo(1) for more details.
21
23 decayscreen accepts the following options:
24
25 -window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
26
27 -root Draw on the root window.
28

30
