🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --visual visual — tells it which visual to use. Legal values are either the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of one specific visual. iykyk if you know your visuals 💅
• --window — draw on a brand-new window it makes itself. this one is the default, so like, you don't have to ask 🫶
• --root — draw straight on the root window instead.
• --delay number — the per-frame delay, measured in microseconds. default is 30000, which is 0.03 seconds in case your brain also refuses to do micro-math 😭
• --wander | --no-wander — whether the object should wander around the screen or, y'know, stay put.
• --spin 0 — don't rotate. at all. frozen. statue era 💀
• --spin [XYZ] — around which axes should the object spin? your call, icon.
• --spin Y — rotate around the Y axis. this is the default, main character behavior 👑
• --spin Z — rotate around the Z axis.
• --spin XY — rotate around the X and Y axes.
• --spin XZ — rotate around the X and Z axes.
• --spin YZ — rotate around the Y and Z axes.
• --speed number — animation speed. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast. simple as 🔥
• --fps | --no-fps — whether to show a frames-per-second display down at the bottom of the screen.
• --wireframe | --no-wireframe — render in wireframe instead of solid. outline mode 🌈 vs. full send.

🦋 ENVIRONMENT 🦋

• DISPLAY — used to get the default host and display number.
• XENVIRONMENT — used 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.
