MATE-GEYES-APPLET(1)

👀 MATE-GEYES-APPLET 👀

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about mate-geyes-applet — it's the gEyes Applet for the MATE panel, and it's genuinely one of the silliest little icons you'll ever install. Manual page MATE-GEYES-APPLET(1), section 1, let's GO. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mate-geyes-applet [ --activate-goad-server [=GOAD_ID] ]

that's it. that's the whole invocation. short, sweet, iconic. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so picture this: mate-geyes-applet is a pair of eyes which follow your mouse pointer around the screen. literally just eyeballs. tracking your cursor. everywhere. no cap, it's giving surveillance but make it cute. 👁️👁️

want in? here's the whole ritual:

1. right-click on the Panel
2. choose Applets->Amusements->gEyes

and boom, you've got a tiny stalker on your taskbar. main character energy fr fr. 🎀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --activate-goad-server — (Internal use only) GOAD server ID to activate.

and the tea on the value: GOAD_ID is usually the applet name, which is [geyes_applet]. yes, with the square brackets. yes, that's really how it's written. don't @ me. 🙈

lowkey important: this flag says Internal use only, so unless you're doing internal goad-server business, you probably don't need to touch it. hands off, bestie. 🫶
