Overview
The xflame program draws animated flames across the bottom of the screen. The flames occasionally flare up. If a bitmap is specified, that image will float above the flames, burning.
Options
xflame 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.
-
--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.
-
--foreground color or --fg color -
The color of the flames; default red. (The background color is always black.)
-
--bitmap filename -
Specifies the bitmap file to use (a monochrome XBM file.) The name "none" means not to use a bitmap at all. If unspecified, a built-in image will be used.
The other options are arcane. If someone would care to document them, that would be great.
-
--fps -
Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
Environment
-
XENVIRONMENT -
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
-
XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW -
The window ID to use with --root.
