NAME

       xteevee - Simulate various TV problems

SYNOPSIS

       xteevee	[-display  host:display.screen]  [-window] [-root] [-install] [-visual visual] [-cycle] [-no-cycle] [-static] [-no-static] [-roll]
       [-no-roll] [-bars] [-no-bars]

DESCRIPTION

       xteevee simulates various television problems, fondly re-creating the days when computers were fun and I spent my time with  an	Atari  400
       hooked up to a black-and-white TV I found in someone's trash.

       When  run, xteevee picks a mode to display from the available options.  If modes are explicitly set on the command-line, they over-ride the
       implicit options and will be choosen among exclusively.	If modes are explicitly excluded  from	the  command-line,  the  they  are  simply
       removed from contention.

       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

       xteevee accepts the following options:

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

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -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.

       -cycle  Cycle through all the available modes.  This is the default.

       -no-cycle
	       Don't cycle modes.

       -static Explicitly select the "static" mode.

       -no-static
	       Explicitly forbid the "static" mode.

       -roll   Explicitly select the "vertical roll" mode.

       -no-roll
	       Explicitly forbid the "vertical roll" mode.

       -bars   Explicitly select the "color bars" mode.

       -no-bars
	       Explicitly forbid the "color bars" mode.

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.

X RESOURCES

       Notable X resources supported include the following:

       static,	roll and bars are booleans, defining which modes are to be implicitly available if xteevee is run without command-line mode selec-
       tions.  cycle is a boolean, defining if xteevee should cycle through each available mode or pick one and  stick	with  it.   delayMode  and
       delayBetween  are  integers,  defining  how long each mode should be displayed and how long the time between them should be if cycle is on.
       staticSignal is an integer, defining the strength of the signal during the "static" mode, as a percentage.

BUGS

       xteevee should simulate more TV problems.
