CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       AllowCoverSpecifies that other windows should be allowed to cover the
       app window. Turns offAvoidCover. This is the default setting.
       AvoidCoverSpecifies that other windows should not be allowed to cover
       the app window. Prevents other windows from moving in front of (or
       behind) the app window. IfSmartPlacementis specified in thefeelfile,
       windows will not be allowed to automatically place themselves over the
       app window, if possible.AllowCoverturns offAvoidCover. The default
       isAllowCover.  BorderWidthwidthSpecifying this in conjunction
       withNoHandles, sets the border width of a window to bewidth.
       Awidthof0causes no border. This option has no affect if not used
       withNoHandles. The default is1implicitly for all windows.
       ButtonnumberSpecifing anumberto each use ofButtonwill cause that
       buttons number to be displayed in the title bar. Number should be the
       same as used inTitleButtonssetting. The default is to display all
       buttons defined in thelook.namefile if the following conditions are
       met: there is a valid bitmap or pixmap specified for the button in
       thelook.namefile; nd the button has not been forced not to display by
       the use of Motif WM hints specified by application.
       CirculateHitEnables window to be switched to using ChangeWindowUp,
       ChangeWindowDown or Warp (also called alt-tabbing) functions. This is
       the default implicitly for all windows.  CirculateSkipCauses windows to
       be skipped over when the ChangeWindowUp, ChangeWindowDown or Warp (also
       called alt-tabbing) functions are invoked. This is disabled by default
       implicitly for all windows.  DefaultGeometryWIDTHxHEIGHT+X+YThis will
       force AfterStep to replace parts of window initial placement with
       predefined values. For example :Style "*mozilla*" DefaultGeometry
       1024x500will force mozilla windows (or any windows that have "mozilla"
       in its name ) to have initial size 1024x500.Note that in case of
       mozilla its usefull to define several Styles so that you will get
       different geometries for different dialog boxes, such as
       search/download/ etc FocusThis will set the window to accept input
       focus. The is the default for all windows.  FocusOnMapClient window
       will be focused when it is mapped even if it is not directly under
       mouse pointer.  FocusStyle [style]Specifies a MyStyle to be used for
       this window when it has the keyboard focus. Ifstyleis unspecified, the
       default focus style will be used instead (seeFWindowStyle, below).
       Frame"frame_name"Enables "frame_name" to be used for decoration of this
       window.  FullscreenMakes window Fullscreen on startup.
       HandleWidthwidthSpecifies thewidthof the resize handles on the The
       defaultwidthis8pixels.  HandlesSpecifies that the app window will
       display the "low bar" decoration. This is the default for all windows.
       HonorConfigForces AfterStep to honor a client's request to reposition
       itself after its window has been mapped. This is a dangerous behavior
       as clients do not have a reliable way of determining the best position
       for themselves. Window positioning should be left to AfterStep as it
       knows better. Opposite of IgnoreConfig.See Also: IgnoreConfig.
       HonorExtWMHintsForces AfterStep to use extended window management hints
       that the client sets on its windows. These generally include window
       type (dialog, desktop, menu, etc), window state (minimized, maximized,
       shaded, etc.), desktop, icon and additional data. Note that these
       window-type hints cause AfterStep to apply one of its policies, which
       may result in missing decorations, a non-default layer, and other
       potential irregularities. The opposite is NoExtWMHints.See Also:
       NoExtWMHints.  HonorGnomeHintsForces AfterStep to use the desktop,
       layer, and other hints data that a client sets on its window using the
       old, outdated GNOME window management hints. The opposite is
       NoGnomeHints.See Also: NoGnomeHints.  HonorGroupHintsAfterStep will
       utilize a group hint set on the client's window. This will make
       AfterStep apply group management policies to all windows of the client.
       For example: when one window in the group is moved to a different
       desktop, all other windows will follow. Group members will usually be
       stacked together and utilize the layer of the member with the highest
       layer within the given group. Transient windows belonging to one of the
       members will overlay all of the members. The opposite is
       NoGroupHints.See Also: NoGroupHints.  HonorKDEHintsAfterStep will honor
       KDE specific hints set on the client's window. This is mainly used for
       status bar-type applications. The opposite is NoKDEHints.See Also:
       NoKDEHints.  HonorMotifHintsAfterStep will honor Motif specific hints
       set on the client's window. This includes any decorations that need to
       be drawn around it and any functions (minimize/maximize/re-size/move)
       that it supports. The opposite is NoMotifHints.See Also: NoMotifHints.
       HonorPPositionForces AfterStep to use PPosition hint for this window.
       PPosition hint normally means that application has determined its
       position due to some of its own configuration settings, and position
       has not been explicitely requested on the command line. This setting
       overrides NoPPosition setting in feel file.  HonorRestackFIXME: add
       proper description here.  HonorTransientHintsWill force AfterStep to
       use transient hint, effectively attaching window to its parent( placing
       it on the same layer , etc. ) HonorXResourcesForces AfterStep to
       respect XResources database when it comes to window placement.
       HorizontalTitleCauses the window titlebar to be placed horizontally on
       top of the window. This is the implicit default for all windows.
       IconfilenameSpecifies the [filename] to use when iconified, overriding
       any icon the app itself might provide.NoIconturns this off. The default
       is to use the app's supplied icon or the icon specified with the
       WM_NAME of "Unknown" or "*".  IconTitleSpecifies that a title should be
       displayed under an iconified app. The colors used are
       theForeColorandBackColorof theButtonTitleFocusin thelook.namefile.
       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.  IgnoreConfigAfterStep will ignore a client's
       attempts to reposition its window after it has been mapped on the
       screen. Opposite of HonorConfig.See Also: HonorConfig.
       IgnoreRestackFIXME: add proper description here.  LayerlayerSpecifies
       what layer this window should be in.layermay be any integer (positive,
       negative, or zero). Windows are grouped according to their layer, and
       may not be moved out of their layer. Windows in higher layers will be
       above windows in lower layers. By default, windows are placed in layer
       0.StaysOnBackcorresponds toLayer -1, andStaysOnTopcorresponds toLayer
       1.  LongLivingA window will stay on the screen long enough to allow
       application of different placement policies, such as AvoidCover.
       Opposite of ShortLiving.See Also: ShortLiving.  NoButtonnumberSpecifing
       anumberto each use ofNoButtonwill cause that buttons be hidden from the
       title bar. Number should be the same as used inTitleButtonssetting. The
       default is to display all buttons defined in thelook.namefile if the
       following conditions are met: there is a valid bitmap or pixmap
       specified for the button in thelook.namefile; and the button has not
       been forced not to display by the use of Motif WM hints specified by
       application.  NoExtWMHintsAfterStep will not use extended window
       management hints that the client sets on its windows. Opposite of
       HonorExtWMHints.See Also: HonorExtWMHints.  NoFocusThis will set the
       window to refuse any input focus.Focuswill turn this setting off. This
       is off by default.  NoFocusOnMapAfterStep will not yield a focus to the
       new window being mapped. This prevents things like passwords typed into
       popped-up IM windows. Opposite of FocusOnMap.See Also: FocusOnMap.
       NoFrameDisables frame decorations for this window.
       NoFullscreenPrevents windows from starting up as Fullscreen.
       NoGnomeHintsCauses AfterStep to disregard layer properties and several
       obsolete properties for a window. Opposite of HonorGnomeHints.See Also:
       HonorGnomeHints.  NoGroupHintsAfterStep will not utilize a group hint
       set on the client's window. Opposite of HonorGroupHints.See Also:
       HonorGroupHints.  NoHandlesSpecifies that the app window will not
       display the "low bar" decoration. This also removes the ability to
       resize windows with the resize handles on the "low bar" ends. The
       default isHandlesimplicitly for all windows.  NoIconDisables icon from
       being visible when window is iconifyed. That causes window to simply
       disappear when the app is iconified. Refer to the EXAMPLES below for a
       method to make all icons disappear.  NoIconTitleSpecifies that no title
       should be displayed under an iconified app.  NoKDEHintsAfterStep will
       not honor KDE specific hints set on the client's window. Opposite of
       HonorKDEHints.See Also: HonorKDEHints.  NoMotifHintsForces AfterStep to
       disregard Motif decoration and functionality hints.  NoPPositionSpecies
       that afterstep should ignore the PPosition field for the specified
       window, in other words, the window can't choose where to place itself.
       Adherence to the PPosition field is required for some applications.
       NoTitleSpecifies thatafterstepshould not put a title bar decoration on
       the app. The is off by default.  NoTransientHintsIgnore transient hint
       - window will be treated as an independent window.  NoXResourcesForces
       AfterStep to disregard XResources database when it comes to window
       placement.  OverrideGravityNorthWest | North | NorthEast | West |
       Center | East | SouthWest | South | SouthEast | StaticSome applications
       (notably xv) have been designed without reading widely accepted and
       used standards such as ICCCM. Gravity value is one of the hints that
       often get misplaced by applications. As the result may exhibit wierd
       placement behaviour - such as windows moving to the top-left with each
       resize or file opened. Try specifying StaticGravity for such apps. Also
       some applications do not set gravity correctly. For example you start
       an application with geometry +10-10 which means SouthWestGravity and
       that should fix position of left and bottom sides of the window. But
       window set its gravity to NorthWestGravity instead and as the result
       window gets placed further down to the bottom by the size of the framne
       decorations. In this cases you can specify whatever gravity you want
       and thus override those stupid apps.See Also:Gravity type
       specificationfor further details.  ShortLivingShortLiving windows are
       always placed automatically and do not affect AvoidCover stuff.
       SlipperyThis is the default setting - windows stay on the desktop they
       were placed on, and do not "follow" viewport, when desk/view changes.
       StartIconicCauses the app to start and immediately iconify itself to
       theIconBox. The default isStartNormalimplicitly for all windows.
       StartNormalDisables the effects ofStartIconicsetting - window will not
       be iconifyed upon startup. This is the default StartsAnyWhereUpon
       startup window will be placed onto the current desktop. This is the
       implicit default setting for all windows.  StartsOnDesknumberCauses the
       app window to start on the specifieddesknumber. IfSmartPlacementis used
       in thefeel.namefile, the window will appear on the specifieddesknumber,
       but will require interaction to place it; unless it was called with
       geometry settings. SpecificViewportsare also allowed, refer to them
       below. The default isStartsAnyWhereimplicitly for all windows.
       StaysOnBackPlaces window in Layer -1, essentially forcing it to go
       under most other windows. Default Layer is 0.NOTE: deprecated, use
       Layer instead.  StaysOnTop|StaysPut|StaysOnBackPlaces window in Layer
       1, making it go on TOP of most other windows. Default Layer is 0.NOTE:
       deprecated, use Layer instead.  StaysPutPlaces window in default Layer
       0, disabling effects ofStaysOnTop,StaysOnBackandLayer.NOTE: deprecated,
       use Layer instead.  StickyCauses the app window to stick to it's
       location for each desktop that becomes current, allowing the window to
       "follow" while changings desks/ views. The default isSlipperyimplicitly
       for all windows.  StickyStylestyleSpecifies a MyStyle to be used for
       this window when it does not have the keyboard focus, and is sticky.
       Ifstyleis unspecified, the default sticky style will be used instead
       (seeSWindowStyle, below).  TitleSpecifies thatafterstepshould put a
       title bar decoration on the app. This the default.
       UnfocusStylestyleSpecifies a MyStyle to be used for this window when it
       does not have the keyboard focus, and is not sticky. Ifstyleis
       unspecified, the default unfocus style will be used instead
       (seeUWindowStyle, below).  UseAnyViewportAfterStep will treat an
       application as if it is relative to the desktop origin, when that
       application specifies its geometry at the time of mapping.See Also:
       UseCurrentViewport.  UseCurrentViewportAfterStep will treat an
       application as if it is relative to the current viewport's origin, when
       that application specifies its geometry at the time of mapping.See
       Also: UseAnyViewport.  VerticalTitleCauses the window titlebar to be
       placed vertically along the left side of the window, instead of
       horizontally across the top.  ViewportXnumberSpecifies the coordinate
       along the x-axis thatafterstepshould place a window. This allows
       opening a window on a particular desk and view.numberis measured in
       pixels and the screen resolution is the outline of a desk's particular
       boundaries; where it will then place it upon another desk or view.
       Combined withViewportY, a window can be given geometry byafterstepand
       be placed in the desired desktop and view.  ViewportYnumberSpecifies
       the coordinate along the y-axis thatafterstepshould place a window.
       This allows opening a window on a particular desk and view.numberis
       measured in pixels and the screen resolution is the outline of a desk's
       particular boundaries; where it will then place it upon another desk or
       view. Combined withViewportX, a window can be given geometry
       byafterstepand be placed in the desired desktop and view.
       WindowBox"window_box_name"Requires AfterStep to use the specified
       WindowBox for placement of this window.  WindowListHitSpecifies that
       the app name will be shown on both the internal Window List (default
       click of mouse buttons 2 & 3 on the root window), and
       theWinList(1)module bar. This is the default implicitly for all
       windows.  WindowListSkipSpecifies that the app name will be omitted
       from both the internal Window List (default click of mouse buttons 2 &
       3 on the root window), and theWinList(1)module bar. The default
       isWindowListHitimplicitly for all windows.  WindowOpacityFIXME: add
       proper description here.
