xeyes(1) [debian man page]

XEYES(1)						      General Commands Manual							  XEYES(1)

NAME

       xeyes - a follow the mouse X demo

SYNOPSIS

       xeyes [-option ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Xeyes watches what you do and reports to the Boss.

OPTIONS

       -fg foreground color
	       choose a different color for the pupil of the eyes.

       -bg background color
	       choose a different color for the background.

       -outline outline color
	       choose a different color for the outline of the eyes.

       -center center color
	       choose a different color for the center of the eyes.

       -backing { WhenMapped Always NotUseful }
	       selects an appropriate level of backing store.

       -geometry geometry
	       define the initial window geometry; see X(7).

       -display display
	       specify the display to use; see X(7).

       -bd border color
	       choose a different color for the window border.

       -bw border width
	       choose a different width for the window border.

       -shape  uses the SHAPE extension to shape the window.  This is the default.

       +shape  disables use of the SHAPE extension to shape the window.

       -render uses Xrender to draw anti-aliased eyes.	This is the default if xeyes has been compiled with Xrender support.

       +render disables Xrender and draws traditional eyes.

       -distance
	       uses an alternative mapping, as if the eyes were set back from the screen, thus following the mouse more precisely.
