• --window — Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default. 👑
• --root — Draw on the root window.
• --window-id number — Draw on the specified window.
• --delay number — Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 20000 (that's 0.02 seconds).

• --fps — Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.

• 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.
