✨ NAME ✨

neongravity — bestie. It's a screen saver. That's the whole job description. This page lives in the XScreenSaver manual, section 6x, and it's here to tell you everything about it. 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so imagine you're inside a torus. Not outside it, looking at it like some basic donut — inside it. And it's stylish, obviously. That's it. That's the whole thing. The stylish interior of a torus. Ate. 🍩✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --visual visual — Pick which visual you want, no cap. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of one specific visual. So yeah, name it or number it, both are valid. 👑
  • --window — Draw on a newly-created window. 🪟 This is the default, so if you just vibe and say nothing, this is what's happening.
  • --root — Draw on the root window. Iconic behaviour fr fr.
  • --delay number — Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 20000 (that's 0.02 seconds for anyone who doesn't automatically think in microseconds, which is honestly all of us 😭).
  • --speed number — Animation speed. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast. The math is mathing. ✨
  • --scale number — Frame buffer resolution. 0.5 means halve the resolution for better performance but lower quality output. Default 1.0, full quality. So it's giving "trade pixels for frames," your call bestie. 🌸
  • --fps | --no-fps — Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen. Yes or no, that's the whole question. 🎀

🌸 ENVIRONMENT 🌸

  • 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.
  • XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW — The window ID to use with --root. 🫶
