SYNOPSIS

fuzzyflakes [--display host:display.screen] [--foreground color] [--background color] [--window] [--root] [--window-id number][--mono] [--install] [--visual visual] [--delay usecs] [--speed int] [--arms int] [--thickness int] [--bthickness int] [--radius int] [--layers int] [--density int] [--no-db] (-color string) (-random-colors) [--fps]

DESCRIPTION

The fuzzyflakes program draws falling pastel colored snowflake/flower shapes. Inspired by the credits of the anime "Azumanga Daioh".

OPTIONS

fuzzyflakes accepts the following options:

--window

Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

--root

Draw on the root window.

--window-id number

Draw on the specified window.

--mono

If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

--install

Install a private colormap for the window.

--visual visual

Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

--delay usecs

The delay between steps of the animation, in microseconds. Default: 250000.

--speed int

How fast, 1-50. Default 10.

--arms int

How many arms on the flakes; default 5.

--thickness int

How thick to make the lines; default 10 pixels.

--bthickness int

How thick to make the borders; default 3 pixels.

--radius int

Radius of the objects; default 20 pixels.

--layers int

How many layers of objects; default 3.

--density int

Default 5.

--no-db

Disable double-buffering.

--color string

The base color for the color scheme. Typed as a hexadecimal triplet with or with out the leading #. ie. fa4563 & #43cd12 are both acceptable. If the saturation of you color is too low (<0.03) the random color generator will kick in. The default color is #efbea5

--random-colors

This enables the random color generation. It is disabled by default. It overrides anything from -color

--fps

Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

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.

XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW

The window ID to use with --root.
