NAME

xlogo − X Window System logo. 

SYNOPSIS

xlogo [options]

DESCRIPTION

The xlogo program displays the X Window System logo.  This program is nothing more than a wrapper around the undocumented Athena Logo widget. 

OPTIONS

xlogo accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command-line options, which are listed on the X reference page.  (We’ve included some of the more commonly used Toolkit options later in this section.)  In addition, xlogo accepts the following application-specific option:

-shape
Specifies that the xlogo window should be shaped to the X logo (rather than being rectangular).  (Available as of Release 5.) 

The following Toolkit options are commonly used:

-bg color
Specifies the color to use for the background of the window. The default is white. A correct color for the background is something like maroon.

-bd color
Specifies the color to use for the border of the window. The default is black.

-bw pixels
Specifies the width in pixels of the border surrounding the window.

-display [host]:server[.screen]
Allows you to specify the physical display, server, and screen on which to create the xlogo window.  See "Options" on the X reference page for an example of usage. 

-fg color
Specifies the color to use for displaying the logo. The default is black. A correct color for the foreground is something like silver, which you can approximate with a shade of grey.

-geometry  geometry
The xlogo window is created with the specified size and location determined by the supplied geometry specification.  The -geometry option can be (and often is) abbreviated to -g, unless there is a conflicting option that begins with "g".  The argument to the geometry option (geometry) is referred to as a "standard geometry string," and has the form widthxheight±xoff±yoff. 

-rvIndicates that reverse video should be simulated by swapping the foreground and background colors. 

-xrm resourcestring
Specifies a resource string to be used.  This is especially useful for setting resources that do not have separate command-line options.

RESOURCES

This program uses the Logo widget in the Athena Widget Set.  It understands all of the Core and Simple widget resource names and classes as well as:

foreground (class Foreground)
Specifies the color for the logo.  The default depends on whether reverseVideo is specified.  If reverseVideo is specified the default is XtDefaultBackground (commonly white); otherwise, the default is XtDefaultForeground (commonly black),

shapeWindow (class ShapeWindow)
Specifies that the window be shaped to the X logo (rather than being rectangular).  The default is False.  (Available as of Release 5.) 

The following Core resources are commonly used:

width (class Width)
Specifies the width of the logo.  The default is 100 pixels.

height (class Height)
Specifies the height of the logo.  The default is 100 pixels.

WIDGET HIERARCHY

In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of the widgets that compose xlogo.  In the notation below, indentation indicates hierarchical structure.  The widget class name is given first, followed by the widget instance name: XLogo  xlogo  Logo  xlogo

FILES

/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XLogo
Specifies required resources.
