SYNOPSIS
spotlight [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-delay usecs] [-radius pix_ els]
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.
