XLOGO(1)  —  X Version 11 (1 March 1988)

 
 

NAME

xlogo − X Window System logo

SYNOPSIS

xlogo [-toolkitoption ...]

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

Xlogo accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options, of which the following are used most frequently:

−bg color
This option 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
This option specifies the color to use for the border of the window. The default is black. 

−bw number
This option specifies the width in pixels of the border surrounding the window.

−fg color
This option specifies the color to use for displaying the logo. The default is black.  A correct color for the background is something like silver, which you can approximate with a shade of gray, like #aa9. 

−rv This option indicates that reverse video should be simulated by swapping the foreground and background colors. 

−geometry geometry
This option specifies the prefered size and position of the logo window.

−display display
This option specifies the X server to contact.

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

X DEFAULTS

This program uses the Logo widget in the X Toolkit.  It understands all of the core resource names and classes as well as:

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

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

foreground (class Foreground)

reverseVideo (class ReverseVideo)
Specifies that the foreground and background should be reversed.

ENVIRONMENT
