💖 prococean 💖

okay bestie, welcome to prococean, a section-6 XScreenSaver hack from the XScreenSaver manual. and what is it? it's a very fast procedural ocean. that's it. that's the whole pitch. 🌊✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

like, yes, she has flags. she's a real program, she's got paperwork. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

A very fast procedural ocean.

no cap, that's the description. the ocean is procedural, it is very fast, and it is an ocean. iconic behavior honestly. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --visual visual — picks which visual she uses. 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, we don't gatekeep number formats here 💜).
  • --window — draw on a newly-created window. this is the default, so if you just run her with nothing, this is what you get. 🪟
  • --root — draw on the root window instead. main character energy, wallpaper style. 🌌
  • --delay number — per-frame delay, measured in microseconds. default: 20000 (which is 0.02 seconds, if you hate counting zeros). ⏱️
  • --speed number — animation speed. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast. simple math, slay. 🏃‍♀️
  • --scale number — resolution. the range is 0.1 – 1.0. default: 1.0. 🔍
  • --fps | --no-fps — whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen. turn it on, turn it off, it's your screen bestie. 📊

🌈 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.

these are the vibes the environment hands her. respect the environment. 🌱
