🌌 fluxcore — XScreenSaver manual, but make it cute 🌌

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're talking about fluxcore(6x). it's a screen saver. that's the whole job. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

fluxcore — screen saver. yeah that's it. that's the girl. she saves screens. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

fluxcore [--display host:display.screen] [--visual visual] [--window]
[--root] [--delay number] [--speed number] [--scale number] [--fps]

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so like, here's the lore: when you're doing long range space-based energy transmission, you literally need a flux core to amplify and concentrate the energy. that's not me being dramatic, that's physics (or at least, that's what this manpage says, and I'm not about to argue with a screen saver). 🔥✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --visual visual — pick which visual you wanna use, babes. legal values are either the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of one specific visual. 🌈
  • --window — draw on a brand new freshly-created window. this is the default, so if you do nothing, this is the vibe you get. 🪟✨
  • --root — draw on the root window instead. main character energy, whole-screen situation. 👑
  • --delay number — per-frame delay, measured in microseconds. default: 20000 (that's 0.02 seconds, for the girlies who don't speak microseconds). ⏱️
  • --speed number — animation speed. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast. do with that what you will. 🏃♀️💨
  • --scale number — frame buffer resolution. 0.5 means halve the resolution for better performance but lower quality output. default 1.0, full quality. so like, if your machine is struggling, drop it down and she'll cope. 🫶
  • --fps | --no-fps — whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen. yes display, no display, your choice. 🍓

🌸 ENVIRONMENT 🌸

  • DISPLAY — used to get the default host and display number. the classic. iykyk.
  • XENVIRONMENT — used to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. lowkey important. 💜
  • XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW — the window ID to use with --root. 🪟

k that's the whole page bestie, go run it, go halve that resolution if your laptop's wheezing, and remember — it's a screen saver, she's not that deep, she just wants to save your screen. 💅
