10 [-install] [-visual visual] [-delay usecs] [-mode mode]
11
13 The decayscreen program creates a melting effect by randomly shifting
14 rectangles around the screen.
15 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 -window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
26 -root Draw on the root window.
28 -mono If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
30 -install
32 Install a private colormap for the window.
33 -visual visual
35 Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a
36 visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
37 visual.
38 -delay microseconds
40 Slow it down.
41 -mode mode
43 The direction in which the image should tend to slide. Legal
44 values are random (meaning pick one), up, left, right, down,
45 upleft, downleft, upright, downright, shuffle (meaning prefer
46 no particular direction), in (meaning move things toward the
47 center), out (meaning move things away from the center), melt
48 (meaning melt straight downward), stretch (meaning stretch the
49 screen downward), and fuzz (meaning go blurry instead of
50 melty).
