💖 BUSYSPHERES 💖

okay bestie, come sit with me, we're talking about busyspheres from the RSS Other Screensaver collection — it's a general commands manual page and honestly? it's giving screensaver royalty. it's a particle situation. you're gonna be obsessed. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

busyspheres — particle spheres. that's it, that's the whole vibe. spheres. made of particles. 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

busyspheres [--root/-r] [--maxfps/-x number] [--vsync/-y number]
[--dpms/-M number]

no cap, that's the entire invocation right there. short flags, long flags, take your pick. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Spheres made of dancing particles. 🎀

like... imagine little glittery particles just dancing around in sphere formation. that's the whole thing. it's iconic, it's mesmerizing, it's literally art.

Ported to Linux by Tugrul Galatali. thank you king, we appreciate you 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

okay so here's where you get to customize your little particle moment. every single flag, right here, no skips:

  • --root, -r — Draw on the root window. yes, THE root window. your whole desktop background gets the particle sphere treatment. main character energy for real. 👑
  • --maxfps number, -x number — Set maximum frame rate. you wanna cap how fast these frames go? this is your girl. put a number in there and that's your ceiling. ⭐
  • --vsync number, -y number — Limit redraws to specified number of vertical refreshes. valid range is 0 - 100. Default: 1. so if you leave it alone it's just 1, one vertical refresh, keeping things chill. 🧚
  • --dpms number, -M number — Stop rendering new frames if the display is not on. valid range is 0 - 1. Default: 1. so by default, if your display is off, it stops wasting effort drawing frames nobody's gonna see. thoughtful queen behavior. 💜

✨ ENVIRONMENT ✨

  • DISPLAY to get the default host and display number. yep, classic X11 stuff, that's how it knows where to show up. 🌈

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

  • X(1),
