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 recreating 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 avail
able options. If modes are explicitly set on the commandline, 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_MAN
AGER 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 selections. cycle is a boolean, defin
ing 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 dis
played 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 per
centage.
BUGS
xteevee should simulate more TV problems.
