XStarRoll is a simple demonstration program for X11. Letters and pixmaps fly to far, far, far away. You can fly optional letters and pixmaps, and use XStarRoll as a background picture.

xstroke is a full-screen gesture recognition program written for the X Window System. It captures gestures that are performed with a pointer device, (such as a mouse, a stylus, or a pen/tablet), recognizes the gestures and performs actions based on the gestures. xstroke is most commonly configured to "type" characters in response to gestures, but it can also emulate mouse button "clicks", launch programs, and other fun things.

xvkbd is a virtual (graphical) keyboard program for X Window System which provides facility to enter characters onto other clients (softwares) by clicking on a keyboard displayed on the screen. This may be used for systems without a hardware keyboard such as kiosk terminals or handheld devices. This program also has facility to send characters specified as the command line option to another client.

xkeycaps is a graphical front-end to xmodmap. It opens a window that looks like a keyboard; moving the mouse over a key shows what KeySyms and Modifier bits that key generates. Clicking on a key simulates KeyPress/KeyRelease events on the window of your choice. It is possible to change the KeySyms and Modifiers generated by a key through a mouse-based interface. This program can also write an input file for xmodmap to recreate your changes in future sessions.

xwatchwin allows you to peek at a window on another X server. To use it, you must specify the display name of the machine you want to watch, then the name of the window on that machine. Xwatchwin will attempt to connect with the X server hostname:0.0, and if successful, will try to retrieve a copy of the window in which you specified interest. You may specify the window you want to watch either by name or by its window id, usually a hexidecimal number. Usually specifying the window by name is simpler, although not all windows have names associated with them; in that case you must use the window id option. If the window you want to watch is not in a viewable state, xwatchwin will tell you so and exit. If while you are watching a window it becomes 'unviewable', xwatchwin will wait until the window becomes 'viewable' again. xwatchwin was written as an aid to a class for people learning to use X. The idea is that the instructor would type into an xterm window on his/her display and the students would use xwatchwin to see what the instructor typed. The students could then type the same thing in their own terminal windows. Hopefully others will find equally (if not more) constructive uses.

YeahConsole is a terminal wrapper for creating drop-down consoles, similar to those found in games like Quake. By default, YeahConsole is activated and hidden with Ctrl+Alt+Y.

XMascot displays a moving mascot on your X11 screen. XMascot has the following options: - Moving pretty mascot moving - Stretch stretch it as you like - Talking mascot talks with extract command and data - Alarm mascot may make some actions at defined time - BIFF mascot may let you know arriving a mail XMascot supports these image formats: - MAG (*.mag) 16 colors and 256 colors - TIFF (*.tif) 16 colors and 256 colors, in raw or lzw - PPM (*.ppm) 256 level color, in raw - PGM (*.pgm) 256 level gray scale, in raw - PBM (*.pbm) 2 level monochrome, in raw - PNM (*.pnm) PPM, PGM, or PBM XMascot distinguishes images from their suffix and can load other image formats when corresponding *topnm, *topgm, or *topbm commands are found in your system.

From the original README: Xmon interactively monitors the byte-stream connections between an X server and a number of X clients. Xmon recognises all requests, events, errors and replies sent between the clients and the server which are part of the core X protocol. The contents of these messages are displayed on standard output at a user settable degree of detail from none to every bit and byte. Xmon also allows the user to select a number of requests or events to be monitored at a different degree of detail. Xmon will also block the transmission of selected requests from the clients to the server and selected events from the server to the clients. Xmon also keeps statistics of the number of requests, events, and errors received.

xmotd is a message-of-the-day browser for X11 and dumb-terminals, that can also be used to broadcast messages to users logged in across a network. xmotd periodically checks whether a file has been modified and pops up and displays the contents of the file, if it has.

The old X11R4 version of xmessage updated for X11R5 and renamed to xmsg. This is convenient to use with biffer(8). Modified at the University of Waterloo circa 1995, and in use since then with some modifications.
