spotlight - move spotlight around desktop

Credits

       Hacked  together  by  Rick Schultz <rick@skapunx.net>, based on StefView for BackSpace by Darcy Brockbank
       and on several other xscreensaver hacks.

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

Description

       The spotlight program takes an image and exposes small sections of it as if through a wandering spotlight
       beam.

       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.
