✨ NAME ✨

bubble3d — literally 3d rising bubbles, no cap 💅🫧

(this is a page from the XScreenSaver manual, bestie — yes, that XScreenSaver 👑)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bubble3d [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window]
[--root] [--window-id number] [--delay number] [--transparent] [--color
color] [--fps]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: a whole stream of 3D bubbles just floating up and up and up toward the top of your screen, all undulating and wobbly and honestly kind of mesmerizing 🫧✨ And they've got these gorgeous specular reflections — it's giving glass, it's giving bath bomb, it's giving main character energy. Obsessed fr fr 😭💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --visual visual — picks which visual you wanna use. Legal values are either the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex, she's flexible 💅) of one specific visual.
  • --window — draws on a brand-new window it creates for itself. This one's the default ✨
  • --root — draws on the root window instead.
  • --window-id number — draws on the window you point at. This specific one. Right there. 👉
  • --transparent — transparent bubbles instead of solid ones 🫧 (see-through slay)
  • --color color — bubbles in the color you pick. And "Random" means a different color for each bubble — rainbow bubble chaos, we love to see it 🌈
  • --delay number — per-frame delay, measured in microseconds. Default: 15000 (that's 0.015 seconds, cutie 🕐).
  • --fps — shows the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count. Stats girlies rise up 📊🔥

💜 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.
  • XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW — the window ID to use with --root.
