xroach - cockroaches hide under your windows

xroach [-option .,..]

Xroach displays disgusting cockroaches on your root window. These creapy crawlies scamper around until they find a window to hide under. Whenever you move or iconify a window, the exposed orthopteras again scamper for cover.

Drop the roaches on the given display. Make sure the display is nearby, so you can hear the screams.
Use the given string as the color for the bugs instead of the default "black".
Use the given speed for the insects instead of the default 20.0. For example, in winter the speed should be set to 5.0. In summer, 30.0 might be about right.
This is the number of the little critters. Default is 10.
Enables roach squishing. Point and shoot with any mouse button.
Sets color of the guts that spill out of squished roaches. We recommend yellowgreen.

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