✨ stripeytorus ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the XScreenSaver manual page for stripeytorus — it's section 6x, and it is, no cap, the cutest little torus renderer in the whole screensaver roster 🍩💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

stripeytorus — torus screen saver. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

The stylish interior of a torus. iconic. literally you're sitting inside the fancy part of a donut and it's giving main character energy ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay so here's the whole flag menu, don't skip any of them, they all matter fr fr:

  • --visual visual — pick which visual you wanna use. legal values are the name of a visual class, OR the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual. you got options, bestie 👑
  • --window — draw on a newly-created window. this is the default, so if you say nothing, this is what you get 🪟
  • --root — draw on the root window instead. going full desktop wallpaper mode 💅
  • --delay number — per-frame delay, measured in microseconds. default is 20000 (that's 0.02 seconds). 🫶
  • --speed number — animation speed. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast. zoom zoom 🏎️
  • --scale number — frame buffer resolution. 0.5 means halve the resolution for better performance but lower quality output. default is 1.0, which is full quality. glow-up vs. performance, your call ⚖️✨
  • --fps | --no-fps — whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of the screen. 📊
