✨ trizm 💅 — the <italic>trizm</italic>(6x) page, bestie edition ✨

okay so we're in the XScreenSaver manual, section 6x, and today's main character is trizm 🎀

🌈 NAME

trizm — screen saver. that's it, that's the whole job description. she saves your screen. iconic behavior. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS

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

like… that's the whole summoning ritual, no cap ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION

Neon cyber circuit-board-like triangle waves. 🌊🔺

fr fr that's the vibe: triangle waves that look like a circuit board had a glow-up and moved to the neon district. slay.

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • --visual visual — pick which visual to use, bestie. legal values are either the name of a visual class, or the id number of a specific visual — and that id number can be decimal or hex, your call, both work. 🎨
  • --window — draw on a newly-created window. this is the default, so if you do nothing, this is what you get. 🪟
  • --root — draw on the root window instead. different energy entirely. 🌌
  • --delay number — per-frame delay, measured in microseconds. default: 20000 (which is 0.02 seconds, for the girlies who don't think in microseconds 💀). 🕰️
  • --speed number — animation speed. 2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as fast. do with that what you will. 🔥
  • --scale number — resolution. 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. yes bestie, you get to watch the numbers go up. 📊

🌸 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. fancy. we love a resource file that thinks it's above the global rules. 💅
  • XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW — the window ID to use with --root. 🪟✨
