xstarfish - tiled root window wallpaper generator
SYNOPSIS
xstarfish [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
XStarfish generates colourful, tiled images using random numbers fed
through mathematical functions and draws them on the background of your
desktop. It does not use source image files, so it can generate its
images nearly forever without running out of material.
