Overview
lockward draws a spinning, rotating set of notched wheels overlaid with some flashing effects, using OpenGL. It's a sort of cross between the wards in a combination lock and those old information displays that animated via polarized light.

-
--blink | --no-blink -
Enables/disables the blinking effects. Default: Enabled.
-
--fps -
Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
-
--rotateidle-min milliseconds

-
--blinkidle-min milliseconds
-
--blinkidle-max milliseconds -

-
--blinkdwell-min milliseconds
-
--blinkdwell-max milliseconds -
