NAME

       slip - sucks your screen into a jet engine

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The slip program does lots of blits and chews up an image.

       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.

       slip accepts the following options:

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

       -mono   If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.

       -install
