This code (and its bitmaps) were extracted from the _x_n_l_o_c_k program. OOPPTTIIOONNSS _n_o_s_e_g_u_y accepts the following options: --wwiinnddooww Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default. --rroooott Draw on the root window. --iinnssttaallll Install a private colormap for the window. --vviissuuaall _v_i_s_u_a_l 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. --ffoonntt _f_o_n_t The font used for the messages. --mmooddee [[ pprrooggrraamm || ffiillee || ssttrriinngg ]] In _p_r_o_g_r_a_m mode, the messages are gotten by run- ning a program. The program used is controlled by the _-_p_r_o_g_r_a_m option, and the _._p_r_o_g_r_a_m resource. In _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e mode, the message used is the contents of a file. The file used is controlled by the _-_f_i_l_e option, and the _._f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e resource. In _s_t_r_i_n_g mode, the message is whatever was speci- fied on the command line as the _-_t_e_x_t option, or in the resource database as the _._t_e_x_t resource. --pprrooggrraamm _p_r_o_g_r_a_m If _m_o_d_e is _p_r_o_g_r_a_m (the default), then this pro- gram will be run periodically, and its output will be the text of the messages. The default program is _"_f_o_r_t_u_n_e _-_s_", but _y_o_w is also a good choice.
