✨ logarithmiccircles(6x) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the XScreenSaver manual, and today's vibe is logarithmiccircles. it's a screen saver. it's zooming black-and-white circles. it's giving tunnel vision but make it ✨art✨. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

logarithmiccircles — screen saver. that's it, that's the whole job 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Zooming black and white circles. that's literally it. they go zoom. they're black. they're white. you stare. you ascend. 🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --visual visual — tells it which visual to use, bestie. legal values are either the name of a visual class, or the id number of a specific visual — and that id number can be decimal or hex, so go off 🎀
  • --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. whole-screen energy, main character behavior 👑
  • --delay number — per-frame delay, measured in microseconds. default: 20000 (that's 0.02 seconds, for the people doing math at home) ⏱️
  • --speed number — animation speed. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast. speed it up, slow it down, it's your world 🌈
  • --scale number — frame buffer resolution. 0.5 means halve the resolution — better performance but lower quality output. default is 1.0, which is full quality. trade-off queen 💅
  • --fps | --no-fps — whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen. numbers on your circles fr fr 📊

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

  • DISPLAY — to get the default host and display number. yes queen, tell it where to live 💜
  • XENVIRONMENT — to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. it's the override file, the remix, the director's cut 🎬
  • XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW — the window ID to use with --root. this is how the screensaver gets told which window it's drawing into 🪟
