SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This is a port of the OSX screensaver flurry.

OPTIONS

-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.

-window

Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

-root

Draw on the root window.

-preset <arg>

Select a preset (classic, fire, water, psychedelic, rgb, binary, random, insane)

(Insane will never be selected at random, because it requires lots of CPU/GPU power)

ENVIRONMENT

DISPLAY: to get the default host and display number.
XENVIRONMENT: to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
