🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• --window — draw on a newly-created window. this is the default, bestie, so you don't even gotta ask 🫶
• --root — draw on the root window instead. main character energy, covering your whole desktop.
• --window-id number — draw on the specified window. you point, it draws.
• --delay number — per-frame delay, in microseconds. default: 10000 (that's 0.02 seconds. yes, the period at the end there is from the original, don't come for me 😭)
• --clock — instead of drawing a stream of barcodes, it draws a barcode-based digital clock. iconic behavior, fr fr ⏰
• --clock24 — same as --clock, but it displays 24-hour time instead of 12-hour time. europe girlies rise 🌸
• --fps — display the current frame rate and CPU load. we love a performance check 💀

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

• DISPLAY — used to get the default host and display number.
• XENVIRONMENT — used 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.
