NAME

SYNOPSIS
       spotlight   [-display   host:display.screen]  [-foreground

       [-install]  [-visual  visual] [-delay usecs] [-radius pix-

DESCRIPTION
       The spotlight program takes an  image  and  exposes  small
       sections of it as if through a wandering spotlight beam.

       The  image  that  it  manipulates will be grabbed from the
       portion of the screen underlying the window, or  from  the
       system's  video  input,  or from a random file on disk, as
       indicated by the grabDesktopImages,  grabVideoFrames,  and
       chooseRandomImages  options  in  the ~/.xscreensaver file;
       see xscreensaver-demo(o) for more details.

OPTIONS
       spotlight accepts the following options:

       -window Draw on  a  newly-created  window.   This  is  the
               default.

       -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

               or hex) of a specific visual.

       -delay microseconds
               Slow it down.

       -radius pixels
               Radius of the spotlight in pixels.
