🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

every single flag, bestie, none skipped, fr fr:

• --visual visual — tells it which visual to use. the legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual. pick your fighter. 💅
• --window — draw on a newly-created window. this one is the default, so if you do nothing, this is what you get. 🫶
• --root — draw on the root window. going full desktop-wallpaper mode.
• --window-id number — draw on the specified window. you point, it draws. 🎯
• --delay number — per-frame delay, measured in microseconds. Default: 5000 (which is 0.01 seconds, for the record).
• --thickness number — thickness of lines. Default: 50. chunky lines, iconic.
• --count number — number of objects. Default: 5. five little guys doing their pulsing thing.
• --ncolors number — number of colors. Default: 20. the palette is eating, ngl.
• --transparent | --no-transparent — whether to use transparency. yes or no, that's the question. 🦋
• --db | --no-db — whether to double buffer. double the buffer, double the... okay you get it.
• --fps — display the current frame rate and CPU load. the little numbers, so you can watch them go. 🔥

🌸 ENVIRONMENT 🌸

the environment variables, because the shell is literally the main character:

• 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. yes that's a mouthful, but it's important, ok? 💜
• XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW — the window ID to use with --root.
