✨ unicode-screensaver ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the unicode-screensaver manual page (section 6x, we're fancy like that) 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

unicode — displays unicode characters 🦋

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

unicode [-display host:display.screen] [-visual visual] [-window]
        [-root] [-fps] [-delay seconds] [-font font] [-foreground color]
        [-background color]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so unicode-screensaver is a lil screensaver app that's lowkey iconic: it keeps randomly picking a unicode character and then displays it in a very large font size 🌈, together with its unicode code point and the character name. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "chaos but make it typographically educational" ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -visual visual — pick which visual to use, bestie. legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual. 💅
• -window — draw on a newly-created window. this is the default, so if you do nothing, congrats, you already chose this 🫶
• -root — draw on the root window. main character energy, going straight onto your desktop background 🔥
• -fps — display the current frame rate and CPU load. nosy but make it cute 😭
• -delay — specify the delay in seconds before switching to a new character. defaults to seven seconds. (seven!! a whole lucky number ⭐)
• -font — try the given font in addition to the built-in fonts (Open Symbol, and FreeSans). not instead of. in addition to. periodt 💜
• -background — set the background color (e.g. black, white, green, red). the default is white 🤍
• -foreground — set the font color (e.g. black, white, green, red). the default is black 🖤

🌈 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. ikyk 😌
