       [--fps]

DESCRIPTION
       Eyeballs. They float. They bounce. They stare at your cursor.

OPTIONS
       --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.

       --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.

       --delay number
               Per-frame delay, in microseconds.  Default: 30000 (0.03
               seconds).

       --speed number
               Animation speed.  2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5 means half as
               fast.

       --count number
               Number of eyes. 0 means random.

       --mode bounce
               The eyeballs bounce onto the screen from the bottom.  Like a
               cow.

       --mode scroll
               The eyeballs scroll in from the left and right.

       --mode xeyes
               The eyeballs remain stationary, but always turn to stare at the
               mouse pointer, wherever it happens to be on the screen.
               Perhaps best used in conjunction with --count 2.

       --mode beholder
               Render a ball made of eyeballs, all looking at you. Valid
               --count values are 20, 80, 320 or 1280.

       --wireframe | --no-wireframe
               Render in wireframe instead of solid.

       --fps | --no-fps
               Whether to show a frames-per-second display at the bottom of
               the screen.

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.
