deco - draw tacky 70s basement wall panelling

Author

       Jamie Zawinski <jwz@jwz.org>, 26-Apr-97, based on code by Michael D. Bayne <mdb@go2net.com>. Golden ratio
       and Mondrian settings by Lars Huttar.

X Version 11                                   6.08 (10-Oct-2023)                                       deco(6x)

Description

       The  deco  program subdivides and colors rectangles randomly.  It looks kind of like Brady-Bunch-era rec-
       room wall paneling.  (Raven says: "This screensaver is ugly enough to peel  paint.")   Can  also  produce
       more aesthetically pleasing displays via options.

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.

Name

       deco - draw tacky 70s basement wall panelling

Options

deco accepts the following options:

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

       --root  Draw on the root window.

       --window-idnumber
               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.

       --visualvisual
               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.

       --delayseconds
               How long to wait before starting over.  Default 5 seconds.

       --max-depthinteger
               How deep to subdivide.  Default 12.

       --min-widthinteger--min-heightinteger
               The size of the smallest rectangle to draw.  Default 20x20.

       --line-widthinteger
               Width of lines drawn between rectangles. Default zero (minimal width).

       --smooth-colors--no-smooth-colors
               Whether to use a smooth color palette instead of a random one.  Less jarring. Default False.

       --golden-ratio--no-golden-ratio
               Whether to subdivide rectangles using the golden ratio instead of 1/2.  This ratio is supposed to
               be more aesthetically pleasing. Default false.

       --mondrian--no-mondrian
               Whether to imitiate style of some famous paintings by Piet Mondrian.   Overrides  line-width  and
               colormap options. Default false.

       --fps   Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
