+Root-tail displays a given file anywhere on your X11 root window, i.e. it is
+kind of tail -f for multiple files using your desktop background as output
+window.
+
+It has configurable colors, fonts, wrapping, justifying, continuation
+indicators, geometry, and more and can interleave multiple files also making
+it a sort of multi-tail.
+
+For example:
+root-tail -g 800x250+100+50 -font 10x20 /var/log/messages,green \
+ -font 12x24 /var/log/secure,red,'ALERT'
