The decayscreen program creates a melting effect by randomly
shifting rectangles around the screen.
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(1)
for more details.
