       Feel - AfterStep feel configuration FeelWindowBox definition





CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       AnimateDeskChangeThat setting requests nice animation to be drawn over
       the desktop, during desktop switching.Comment it out to speed up
       desktop switching.  AppsBackingStoreSpecifies that app windows should
       request backing store. X-terminals and low memory systems should avoid
       this as redrawing will be quicker than pulling the saved image from
       swap space. Backing store will always be faster than redraw on machines
       that have enough memory. This causes non-ICCCM compliance.  AutoFocusDo
       not use. Obsolete.  AutoRaisedelaySpecifies the delay in milliseconds
       of focus a window must attain before being raised.
       AutoReverse0|1|2Specifies the window Warping (also called alt-tabbing)
       style. 0 (the default) causes switching among windows in one direction.
       1 causes a closed loop switching - #1->#2->#3->#4 then #4->#3->#2->#1.
       2 causes an open loop switching - #1->#2->#3->#4 then #4->#1->#2->#3
       etc.  AutoTabThroughDesksIn conjunction with AutoReverse, this will
       Warp (alt-tab) through windows on all desks.  BackingStoreSpecifies
       that decorations should request backing store. Refer to
       AppsBackingStore for further details.  CenterOnCirculateSpecifies that
       when Warping (alt-tabbing), the desktop page containing the window to
       which the pointer is moving will be automatically selected and
       afterstep will attempt to center the target window in the desktop
       viewport, rather than just flipping to the desktop the window resides
       in.  CirculateSkipIconsSpecifies that all icons should be skipped when
       Warping (alt- tabbing) between windows.  ClickTimeSpecifies that
       afterstep should consider two mouse clicks made within delay
       milliseconds to be a double mouse click, and not two single mouse
       clicks. The default delay is 150 milliseconds.  ClickToFocusSpecifies
       that the keyboard input (aka focus) stays with one window until a new
       window's TitleBar is clicked on, or gains focus through Warping or de-
       iconification.AfterStep will not switch focus following mouse pointer,
       but instead will switch it when window is explicitely clicked. This is
       the same as before. The only difference is that AfterStep will not
       Raise window automagically, unless some other settings are set.
       Possible way to Raise window on focusing include:- set AutoRaise 0 in
       feel file ( delay of 0 )- bind mouse clicks to Raise or RaiseLower
       function in feel file.- set ClickToRaise flag in feel file.
       ClickToRaiseSpecifies that windows should be raised when a button is
       clicked in the titlebar, handle (low bar), or application area. buttons
       specifies the list of buttons which triggers this function. In
       AutoRaise mode this will simply raise the window if the click is before
       the delay specified in AutoRaise. In ClickToFocus mode, this will raise
       the window and give it focus.  CoverAnimationStepssteps
       countCoverAnimationSteps is the number of animation steps to take while
       removing blue-tinted cover window.
       CoverAnimationTypetypeCoverAnimationType determines what type of
       animation to use while removing blue-tinted desktop cover - use values
       from 0 to 13.  Cursorcursor_number cursor_typeSpecifies
       thecursor_typefor the givencursor_number. Validcursor_numbersare 0
       though 10 and listed in all the shippedfeel.namefiles.
       Thecursor_typesare listed in the /usr/include/X11/cursorfont.h file.
       CustomCursorpathAdds a custom cursor from the search paths. AfterStep
       searches the following paths in addition to the system Xorg/Xfree
       paths: ~/.afterstep/desktop/cursors/ and
       $SHAREDIR/afterstep/desktop/cursors/.Note: under Xorg, this is probably
       depreciated. Current Xorg uses the Xcursor library to load cursor data
       from a single file.  DecorateTransientsSpecifies that transient windows
       (pop-up dialog boxes), which are normally not decorated, should be
       given the usual title and low bars. Note: some pop-up windows and menus
       are not managed by the window manager, so do not get these decorations.
       DefaultWindowBox"windowbox_name"Window boxes are processed in order
       they were listed in config. If suitable windowbox could not be found
       for the window in the database file - then windowbox named in
       DefaultWindowBox will be forced.  DeskAnimationStepsstepsSpecifies how
       many animation steps should be rendered while switching
       desktops/removing blue cover. Reduce that number to speedup animation.
       DeskAnimationTypevalueThis requests particular type of animation to be
       rendered while switching desktops. Available values are in range of 0
       to 12.  DontMoveOffSpecifies that windows should not be moved off or
       initially placed off of the desktop. A few programs will not work cor-
       rectly if you use this option. This only keeps windows from being
       completely lost off the edge of the desktop. It insists on keeping 16
       pixels on the desktop, but does not attempt to keep the entire window
       on the desk.  DontRestoreFocusWill not restore focus to the recently
       focused application wile switching desktops.  EdgeResistancedelay
       pixelsSpecifies how hard it should be to change views within a desktop
       by moving the mouse over the edge of the screen, and how hard it hould
       be to move a window over the edge of a screen.The delay in
       milliseconds, defines how long the pointer must spend at the screen
       edge before that view becomes current. This is useful in conjunction
       with EdgeScroll 100 100, so the views don't get switched accidently.The
       pixels defines how far over the edge a window must "appear" to move
       before it actually moves partially off the screen.Note that with
       EdgeScroll 0 0, it is still possible to move or resize windows across
       the edge of the current screen. By setting the pixels parameter of
       EdgeResistance to 10000, this type of motion is impossible. However,
       with EdgeResistances less than 10000, but greater than 0, moving over
       pages becomes difficult but not impossible.  EdgeScrollhorizontal
       verticalSpecifies the percentage of a page to scroll when the cursor
       hits the edge of a page. Setting EdgeScroll to 0 0 will disable
       scrolling. Setting this option to 100 100 will scroll whole pages. Set
       to 1000 1000, scrolling will wrap around at the edge of the desktop.
       Both horizontal and vertical should be positive numbers.
       FollowTitleChangesThat will force AfterStep to reread and merge all the
       hints and settings from the database files, whenever window changes
       either its name or icon name.  FunctionSpecifies a complex function
       definition and is covered in the built-in command/function.See Also:AS
       Functionfor further details.  IconTitleSpecifies that a title should be
       displayed under an iconified app. The colors used are the ForeColor and
       BackColor of the ButtonTitleFocus in the look.name file. Note: less
       space is left for the app's icon, so it will be resized acordingly.
       Only a portion of the icon title will be displayed until the icon gains
       focus, and then the title "box" will expand to reveal the window's
       entire name.  KeepIconWindowsSpecifies that applications should be
       allowed to specify their own icon windows.
       KeykeynamecontextmodifierCommandSpecifies a key-stroke binding
       definition, similar toMouse.keynameis the keyboard key name.
       Validkeyname's are found in the /usr/X11/include/X11/keysymdef.h file
       and are specified here without the leading "XK_". Thecontextdescribes
       where the mouse is resting when thekeynameis pressed and can be any
       combination of the following:R = Root window (main background) F =
       Window Frame (the BottomBar handle corners) S = Window TitleBar or
       BottomBar I = Iconified Button (minimized window icon) T = Window
       TitleBar W = Application Window A = Any of the above except for
       TitleButtons 1-10 = TitleButton number of the TitleBar [ not very
       useful here ]modifieris the key-stroke combination associated with
       thecontextentry, to issue theCommand. Validmodifier's are:N = No
       modifiers C = Control S = Shift M = Meta A = Any modifierCommandcan be
       anyafterstepBuilt-incommand/ function,Popupor user definedFunction.See
       Also:AS Functionfor further details.



       MenusHighSpecifies that any pop-up menu's submenu should appear at the
       top of the parent menu instead of starting at the point in the parent
       window where the submenu item lies.
       MousebuttoncontextmodifierCommandSpecifies a mouse binding
       definition.buttonis the mouse button number [0, 1, 2, or 3]. Ifbuttonis
       zero, then any mouse button invoked issues theCommand.contextdescribes
       where the mouse click occurred and can be any combination of the
       following:R = Root window (main background) F = Window Frame (the
       BottomBar handle corners) S = Window TitleBar or BottomBar I =
       Iconified Button (minimized window icon) T = Window TitleBar W =
       Application Window A = Any of the above except for TitleButtons 1-10 =
       TitleButton number of the TitleBar, corresponds to the entry in
       thelook.namefileThe action to be taken by the defined TitleButton is
       defined in thefeel.namefile. Defining a TitleButton without having a
       corresponding entry in thefeel.namefile will cause the TitleButton icon
       to be displayed, but not react when pressed.modifieris the key-stroke
       combination associated with thecontextentry, to issue theCommand.
       Validmodifier's are:N = No modifiers C = Control S = Shift M = Meta A =
       Any modifierCommandcan be anyafterstepBuilt-incommand/ function,Popupor
       user definedFunction.See Also:AS Functionfor further details.
       NoPPositionSpecies that afterstep should ignore the PPosition field
       when placing new windows, in other words, windows can't choose where to
       place themselves. Adherence to the PPosition field is required for some
       applications.  NoSnapKeykeyAfterStep now has a feature that "snaps"
       windows to different desktop features, such as edges of other windows
       and edge of the screen. To disable it temorarily you can press and hold
       Shift key. Use this setting to request different modifier key instead
       of Shift.  OpaqueMove%Specifies the maximum size window where opaque
       window movement should be used. % is percent of the total screen area.
       Set to 0, all windows will be moved using the traditional rubber-band
       outline. Set to 100, all windows will be move as solid windows. The
       default is 5 which allows small windows to be moved in an opaque
       manner, but large windows to be moved as rubber-bands. Using this
       option with large values can slow down video response on slower
       systems.  OpaqueResize%Specifies the maximum size window where opaque
       resizing should be used. % is percent of the total screen area. Set to
       0, all windows will be resized using the traditional rubber-band out-
       line. Set to 100, all windows will be resized as solid windows. The
       default is 5 which allows small windows to be resized in an opaque
       manner, but large windows to be resized as rubber-bands. Using this
       option with large values can slow down video response on slower
       systems.  PagingDefault0|1Specifies if Paging should be enabled (1) or
       disabled (0). Paging is set to enabled by default.
       PersistentMenusRight now if you try to open a menu when its already
       opened - that will cause menu to close. To disable this behaviour and
       instead pop-up a menu again - use this setting.  PopupSpecifies a menu
       popup definition and is covered in the built-in command/function.See
       Also:AS Functionfor further details.  RandomPlacementSpecifies that
       windows which would normally require user inter- vention for placement
       be automagically placed in ever-so- slightly random locations.
       RecentSubmenuItemsnumber_of_itemsDefines maximum number of recently
       used submenu items to be listed under menu item. Set to 0 to disable
       feature. Default is 4.  SaveUndersSpecifies that afterstep frames
       should request saveunders. This will cause afterstep to save those
       portions of windows that are not visible to system memory. This can
       significantly improve the performance during opaque moves, but it
       causes a significant increase in memory usage. This can also cause
       garbled display with some applications.
       ScreenEdgeAttractiondistanceDefines distance from which window will be
       attracted to the screen edge, while being interactively moved/resized.
       ShadeAnimationStepsstepsDefines how many steps to use to render
       animation when window gets shaded/unshaded.
       ShadeAnimationStepsstepsDefines how many steps to use to render
       animation when window gets shaded/unshaded.  SloppyFocusSpecifies that
       windows retain focus until the mouse moves to another window, or
       Warping causes another window to gain focus.SloppyFocus has no effect
       if ClickToFocus is also specified.  SmartPlacementSpecifies that
       windows be placed in areas that no other windows occupy, otherwise user
       intervention becomes required for placement. Have fun, try specifying
       both. :-) StickyIconsSpecifies that icons should stick to the screen's
       glass and fol- low it from desk/view to desk/view.
       StubbornIconPlacementSpecifies that icons should avoid being hidden
       behind windows placed over the IconBox by moving themselves around
       (dancing icons).  StubbornIconsSpecifies that icons should uniconify to
       their original desk. By default, icons uniconify to the current desk.
       StubbornPlacementSpecifies that new windows should avoid being placed
       over icons.  SuppressIconsSpecifies that no icon should be shown for
       any window being iconified, similar to NoIcon.  WinListHideIconsWhen
       set, Icons in internal WindowList ( the window that pops up if you
       right click on root window) will not be shown.
       WinListSortOrder0/1/2/3Arranges WinList entries based-on the following
       qualifiers: 0 - circulations order (default), 1 - Alpha order, 2 -
       Stacking order (unimplemented), 3 - creation order (unimplemented).
       WindowBox"windowbox_name"WindowBox defines an area on the
       screen/virtual desktop into which a window will be placed on
       startup.See Also:Feel WindowBox definitionfor further details.
       WindowEdgeAttractiondistanceDefines distance from which window will be
       attracted to the other window's edge, while being interactively
       moved/resized.  XorValue valueSpecifies thevaluewith which bits are
       XOR'ed when doing rubber-band window moving or resizing. Setting this
       value is a trial-and-error process.  Xzap numberSpecifies the
       horizontal offset of the cursor when warping. This offset is relative
       to the upper-left corner of the window being warped to.  Yzap
       numberSpecifies the vertical offset of the cursor when warping. This
       offset is relative to the upper-left corner of the window being warped
       to.
