Name

xbaby - babies hide under your windows

Synopsis

xbaby [-option .,..]

Description

Xbaby displays disgusting babies on your root window. These creepy crawlies do just that around your screen until they find a window to hide under. Whenever you move or iconify a window, the exposed offspring again crawl for cover.

Options

-display display_name
Drop the babies on the given display. Make sure the display is nearby, so you can hear the screams.
-rc baby_color
Use the given string as the color for the offspring instead of the default ("white" on B&W screens, "pink" on color screens).
-speed baby_speed
Use the given speed for the insects instead of the default 10.0. A larger number means faster crawling.
-babies num_babies
This is the number of the little critters. Default is 10.
-squish
Enables baby squishing. Point and shoot with any mouse button.
-rgc baby_gut_color
Sets color of the guts that spill out of squished babies. We recommend "yellowgreen". (The default is "white" for B&W screens and "red" for color screens.)

Bugs

As given by the -babies option. Default is 10.

For those with sound on their machines, it should have crying and screaming.
