Description
The decayscreen program creates a melting effect by randomly shifting rectangles around the screen.
The image that it manipulates will be grabbed from the portion of the screen underlying the window, or
from the system's video input, or from a random file on disk, as indicated by the grabDesktopImages,
grabVideoFrames, and chooseRandomImages options in the ~/.xscreensaver file; see xscreensaver-settings(1)
for more details.
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.
