DESCRIPTION

       The deco program subdivides and colors rectangles randomly.  It looks kind of like  Brady-Bunch-era  rec-
       room  wall  paneling.   (Raven  says: "This screensaver is ugly enough to peel paint.")  Can also produce
       more aesthetically pleasing displays via options.

OPTIONS

       deco accepts the following options:

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

       --root  Draw on the root window.

       --window-id number
               Draw on the specified 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.

       --delay seconds
               How long to wait before starting over.  Default 5 seconds.

       --max-depth integer
               How deep to subdivide.  Default 12.

       --min-width integer

       --min-height integer
               The size of the smallest rectangle to draw.  Default 20x20.

       --line-width integer
               Width of lines drawn between rectangles. Default zero (minimal width).

       --smooth-colors

       --no-smooth-colors
               Whether to use a smooth color palette instead of a random one.  Less jarring. Default False.

       --golden-ratio

       --no-golden-ratio
               Whether to subdivide rectangles using the golden ratio instead of 1/2.  This ratio is supposed to
               be more aesthetically pleasing. Default false.

       --mondrian

       --no-mondrian
               Whether to imitiate style of some famous paintings by Piet Mondrian.   Overrides  line-width  and
               colormap options. Default false.

       --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.

       XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW
               The window ID to use with --root.
