spotlight - move spotlight around desktop SYNOPSIS
spotlight [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-delay usecs] [-duration secs] [-radius pixels] [-fps] 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-demo(1) for more details. OPTIONS
spotlight accepts the following options: -window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default. -root Draw on the root 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 microseconds Slow it down. -duration seconds How long to run before loading a new image. Default 120 seconds. -radius pixels Radius of the spotlight in pixels. -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. SEE ALSO

zoom(6x) XScreenSaver manual zoom(6x) NAME
zoom - wander around magnified desktop SYNOPSIS
zoom [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-delay usecs] [-duration secs] [-lenses] [-pixwidth pixels] [-pixheight pixels] [-pixspacex pixels] [-pixspacey pixels] [-lensoffsetx pixels] [-lensoffsety pixels] [-fps] DESCRIPTION
The zoom program takes an image, magnifies it, and scrolls around it, fatbits-style. 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-demo(1) for more details. OPTIONS
zoom accepts the following options: -window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default. -root Draw on the root 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 microseconds Slow it down. -duration seconds How long to run before loading a new image. Default 120 seconds. -lenses Instead of doing magnification we just copy an offset region from the original image. If lensoffsetx < pixwidth (and similarly for Y) then consecutive regions will overlap, giving the effect of looking through an array of lenses. -pixwidth pixels Width of the magnified pixels. -pixheight pixels Height of the magnified pixels. -pixspacex pixels Amount of black space between magnified pixels (X direction). -pixspacey pixels Amount of black space between magnified pixels (Y direction). -lensoffsetx pixels Distance in X direction between consecutive copied regions (only effective when -lenses used). -lensoffsety pixels Distance in Y direction between consecutive copied regions (only effective when -lenses used). 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. SEE ALSO
