Description

lockward draws a spinning, rotating set of notched wheels overlaid with some flashing effects, using OpenGL. It’s a sort of cross between the wards in a combination lock and those old information displays that animated via polarized light.

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 (default).
-root: Draw on the root window.
-delay microseconds: Per-frame delay, in microseconds. Default: 20000 (50 frames/sec).
-blink | -no-blink: Enables/disables the blinking effects. Default: Enabled.
-fps: Display the current frame rate, CPU load, and polygon count.
-rotateidle-min milliseconds
-rotateidle-max milliseconds: The minimum and maximum time each spinner will sit idle, in milliseconds. Defaults: Min 1000, max 6000.
-blinkidle-min milliseconds
-blinkidle-max milliseconds: The minimum and maximum time between blinking effects, in milliseconds. Defaults: Min 1000, max 9000.
-blinkdwell-min milliseconds
-blinkdwell-max milliseconds: The minimum and maximum dwell time for the blinking effects, in milliseconds. This affects how quickly the blinks actually happen. Defaults: Min 100, max 600.
