okay bestie, welcome to the XScreenSaver manual 💖 this one's about a lamp. a fiber optic lamp. yes really. it's giving desk-toy-turned-art-installation and we're obsessed.

💅 NAME 💅

fiberlamp — Fiber Optic Lamp 🎀

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

fiberlamp [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window]
[--root] [--window-id number] [--count number] [--cycles number]
[--delay number] [--ncolors number] [--fps]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It displays a Fiber Optic Lamp. That's it. That's the whole assignment. ✨

🍓 OPTIONS 🍓

  • --visual visual — tells it which visual to use. Legal values are either the name of a visual class, or the id number of a specific visual (and yes, decimal or hex both work, she's flexible 💅).
  • --window — draws on a newly-created window. This is the default, so if you do nothing, this is what you get. 🫶
  • --root — draws on the root window. main character energy, wallpaper edition.
  • --window-id number — draws on the window you specify. you pick, bestie.
  • --count number — how many fibers. range is 10 – 500. Default: 500. (yes, five hundred little glowing strands, it's a lot, we love her 🌸)
  • --cycles number — how many cycles before the lamp gets knocked sideways 😭 range is 100 – 10000. Default: 10000. so basically it takes a WHILE before the chaos hits. iykyk.
  • --delay number — per-frame delay, measured in microseconds. Default: 10000 (that's 0.01 seconds, for the record ⏱️).
  • --ncolors number — number of colors. Default: 64. 🌈
  • --fps — displays the current frame rate AND the CPU load. a little stats moment. 📊

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

  • DISPLAY — used to get the default host and display number.
  • XENVIRONMENT — used to get the name of a resource file, which overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
  • XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW — the window ID to use with --root.
