PROGRAM:

NAME


xstarfish - tiled root window wallpaper generator

SYNOPSIS


xstarfish [ options ]

DESCRIPTION


XStarfish generates colourful, tiled images using random numbers fed through mathematical
functions and draws them on the background of your desktop. It does not use source image
files, so it can generate its images nearly forever without running out of material.

OPTIONS


-h, --help, --usage
Print the message you're reading now.

-v, --version
Current version of the program.

-d, --daemon INTERVAL [UNITS]
Fork off into the background. XStarfish will generate a pattern, sleep for INTERVAL
UNITS, then repeat. Valid units are: seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks. Seconds
are the default interval.

-p, --pidfile
Creates a $HOME/.xstarfish* file containing the pid of the daemon if xstarfish is
forking into the background.0

--display DISPLAY
Name of the target display.

-g, --geometry W[xH]
Size of desired image. If you omit the height, a square pattern WxW will be
generated.

-o, --outfile FILE
Specify an output file. If you use this option, xstarfish will write a png file
instead of setting the X11 desktop.

-z, --zoom X[xY]
Zoom factor of image. If you omit the y-scale, a uniform zoom of XxX will be
applied.

-s, --size SIZE
An approximate size in English. Valid size arguments are small, medium, large,
full, and random. Full size creates patterns the exact size of your display's
default monitor. Small, medium, and large are randomly sizes at appropriate
fractions of the default monitor size. Random can be any size from 64x64 up to the
whole monitor. Size always overrides geometry.

-r, --random SEED
Seed for rand() call - for debugging purposes.

NOTES


The default size is 256x256.
