💖 WMMATRIX — bestie edition 💖

✨ NAME ✨

wmMatrix — Dockable Matrix Display 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

wmMatrix [-h] [-display <Display>] [-c command] [-sml] [-med] [-lrg]

that's it. that's the whole thing. so clean, so minimal, so main character ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay bestie, here's the tea: wmMatrix displays The Matrix (yes, from the film of the same name 🎬, the one with the green rain, iconic behavior) in a dockable window. no cap. that's literally what it does and it ate.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

every single flag, in order, no skipping, we don't do that here:

  • -h — shows you the list of command-line options. your lil help menu. use it, love it. 🫶
  • -display [display] — use an alternate X Display. taking your Matrix to a whole other screen, slay. 🌈
  • -c command — specify the command to launch when receiving a double-click. you pick what happens when someone double-taps the window, it's giving customizable. 💜
  • -sml — use small characters for the display. lil baby letters 🧚
  • -med — use medium-sized characters for the display. the middle child, still valid 🌸
  • -lrg — use large characters for the display. BIG letters, big energy, main character energy 👑
fr fr: double clicking on the wmMatrix window will run xscreensaver if it's installed. that's the default double-click behavior, no cap. ✨

💀 BUGS 💀

"Who knows? (Let me know if you find any)."

and honestly? we respect the honesty. the author said idk bestie, tell me if you find one 😭 if you catch a bug, you go tell them. that's the assignment.
