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.")

-root: Draw on the root 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. Default 8.
-min-width integer: -min-height integer The size of the smallest rectangle to draw. Default 20x20.
-cycle
-no-cycle: Whether to do color cycling. Default False.
-cycle-delay usecs: If color cycling, how often to change the colors. Default 1000000, or 1 second.
