xsublim

So, xsublim is a cool little X11 tool that helps you display subliminal messages on your screen. Pretty neat, right? It can be super useful if you're looking to sneak in some positive vibes while you work!

Developer Notes

Just a quick heads-up from the developer: please don't end this process with a SIGKILL. If you do and it has the X server grabbed, you'll be stuck, and that's not on them!

Troubleshooting Tips

If you're having issues with Compiz or if those messages just aren't showing up like they should, try running this command:

xwinwrap -fs -a -nf -- xsublim
