NAME
xfishtank - Fish swimming across your Root Window SYNOPSIS
xfishtank [-c <color>] [-b <limit>] [-f <limit>] [-i <mult>] [-r <rate>] [-m <num>] [-C <num>] [-d] [-p <file>] [host:display] DESCRIPTION
xfishtank is a animation program to simulate an Aquarium on your X desktop. Each fish can have up to 255 colors, but on startup the program takes all the colors from all the fish, and squeezes them down to all fit into the default colormap as best it can. Any fish can be any size in width and height. To make them look more like they are swimming, fish are animated (Very simple 2 frame animation). Fish CANNOT swim over each other, they will turn around if they are about to collide. OPTIONS
-c color Background color of the fishtank -b limit Number of bubbles (Default is set to 32) -f limit Number of fishes (Default is set to 10) -i inter Move interval (Default is set to 0.2) -r rate Move frequency (Default is set to 0.2) -m num Median cut to this many colors -C num Use only this many color cells -d Clip fish, swim on root window -p file Fish swim on picture in file -host:dpy This option specifies the X server to contact.

NAME
goop - squishy transparent oil and bubble screenhack SYNOPSIS
goop [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-trans- parent] [-non-transparent] [-additive] [-subtractive] [-xor] [-no-xor] [-fps] DESCRIPTION
The goop program draws a simulation of bubbles in layers of overlapping multicolored translucent fluid. OPTIONS
goop 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. -count integer How many bubbles to draw per layer. Default: random. -planes integer How many planes to draw. Default: random, based on screen depth. -delay microseconds How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation. Default 12000, or about 0.012 seconds. -transparent If -layers is greater than 1, then each layer will be drawn in one color, and when they overlap, the colors will be mixed. This is the default. -non-transparent Turns off -transparent. -additive If -transparent is specified, then this option means that the colors will be mixed using an additive color model, as if the blobs were projected light. This is the default. -subtractive If -transparent is specified, then this option means that the colors will be mixed using a subtractive color model, as if the blobs were translucent filters. -xor Draw with xor instead of the other color tricks. -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
