okay so bestie, welcome to the celtic page of the XScreenSaver manual — yes, that's the manual name right there, we're doing this properly ✨

🌈 NAME 🌈

celtic — literally draws celtic cross-stitch patterns 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ifs [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window]
[--root] [--window-id number] [--delay number] [--delay2 number]
[--ncolors number] [--graph mode] [--fps]

ok don't come for me about the ifs up there — that's exactly what the manpage says, character for character, so I'm not touching it 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The celtic program repeatedly draws random cross-stitch patterns. That's it. That's the whole vibe. It just keeps going, one little stitched pattern after another, forever, like your brain at 3am but cute and aesthetic 🧵✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --visual visual — tells it which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual. iykyk 🫶
• --window — draw on a newly-created window. this is the default, main character energy ✨
• --root — draw on the root window. lowkey iconic of it.
• --window-id number — draw on the specified window. you pick, bestie.
• --delay number — per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 10000. yes microseconds, not milliseconds, we are ✨precise✨
• --delay2 number — delay between patterns, in seconds. Default: 5. (different unit, different option, don't @ me 💀)
• --ncolors number — number of colours to use. Default: 20. twenty whole colours, obsessed 🌈
• --graph — whether to render the underlying graph. Default: no. turn it on if you wanna see the scaffolding behind the slay 🕸️
• --fps — display the current frame rate and CPU load. numbers!! on screen!! ⭐

🎀 ENVIRONMENT 🎀

• DISPLAY — to get the default host and display number. the classic.
• XENVIRONMENT — to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. whole lotta words but she's doing her job 💜
• XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW — the window ID to use with --root. pairing them up fr fr 🫶
