✨ stardome(6x) ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is literally a little galaxy under a dome sitting on a moon and i am obsessed 💫 it's a screen saver, it lives in section 6x, and it's here to make your monitor look like the main character while you're not even looking at it. periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Stars and a galaxy under a dome on a moon. that's it, that's the whole thing, and it's iconic. ⭐🌙

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --visual visual — pick which visual to use, queen. legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual. yes you can do hex, she's flexible. 💜
  • --window — draw on a newly-created window. this is the default, so if you do nothing at all this is already the vibe. 🪟
  • --root — draw on the root window instead. lowkey a different energy entirely. 🌌
  • --delay number — per-frame delay, measured in microseconds (yes MICRO, she's precise). default: 20000 (that's 0.02 seconds if you're not a math girlie). ⏳
  • --speed number — animation speed. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast. go feral, go slow-mo, your call bestie. 🏃♀️
  • --scale number — frame buffer resolution. 0.5 means halve the resolution for better performance but lower quality output. default 1.0, which is full quality, which is the correct choice for the aesthetic. ✨
  • --fps | --no-fps — whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen. turn it on to flex, turn it off for a clean shot. 📊

🌈 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. it's giving "actually, i make the rules now". 📝
  • XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW — the window ID to use with --root.
