# # Resource command file for randroot! # # Written by: Scott Powers [10/11/1995] # spowers@ncsa.uiuc.edu # # All of the following examples are commented out. You can use a # # sign at the start of a line for a comment or an ! point. # Regardless, you _must_ specify a Display, Time Delay, and at # least 1 image. # DISPLAY COMMAND # The Display Command is the command used to put the image onto # your root window. You may use anything you like... xv works fine. # # The following is what I use: #display: /opt/bin/xv -root -quit -rmode 5 # TIME DELAY COMMAND # The Time Delay Command is the number of seconds to wait before # displaying the next random image. # # The following is what I use: #time: 300 # MODE COMMAND # The Mode Command is the way in which images are displayed. You can # choose from: random, ascending-sequential, descending-sequential, or # random-sequential. Random uses drand48 and is seeded with time(0), # thus the images are chosen at pseudo-randomness. Ascending-sequential # is from image 0 to image n in sequential order. Descending-sequential is # from image n to image 0 in sequential order. Random-sequential uses # drand48 to pick a starting image number, then uses drand48 to go up or # down each time progressing farther and farther (when the "up" and "down" # meet, they skip over each other). # # The following is what I use: #mode: random-sequential # IMAGE COMMAND # The Image Command is used to specify the image to display to the # root window. You are expected to have more than one since that is # the purpose of this program. # NOTE1: You must specify the _full_ path to the image. This means no # tilda support is in place. # NOTE2: Randroot automatically appends the image filename, so do not # specify one! # # The following are 5 of the many images I use: #image: /sam/htdocs/Tolkien/TolkPics/lotr/tolk-balrog2.gif #image: /sam/htdocs/Tolkien/TolkPics/lotr/tolk-rivendell.gif #image: /sam/htdocs/Tolkien/TolkPics/lotr/tolk-cliff.gif #image: /sam/htdocs/Tolkien/TolkPics/lotr/tolk-greenhill.gif #image: /sam/htdocs/Tolkien/TolkPics/lotr/tolk-ford2.gif # The End.
