NAME
Pager - the Afterstep desktop Pager module
SYNOPSIS
Pager [-f config_file] [-v | --version] [-h | --help]
first_desktop last_desktop
Although Pager can be run from the command line, it is nor-
mally spawned by afterstep in the autoexec file, in the fol-
lowing manner:
Module "I" Pager beginning_desktop# ending_desktop#
Wait "I" Pager
In case you use Pager to switch your root backgrounds Wait
can be used as shown above. This will insure that the Pager
has set the root background before you start any furthur
apps (like transparent aterms and Eterms).
or from within an afterstep menu file by 'Pager':
% cat "~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/start/Modules/Pager"
Module "Pager" Pager first_desktop last_desktop
MiniPixmap "mini-as.xpm"
To stop the Pager module, a menu item can be used:
% cat "~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/start/Modules/Pager_Stop"
KillModuleByName "Stop Pager" Pager
MiniPixmap "mini-as.xpm"
DESCRIPTION
The Pager module shows a miniature view of the Afterstep
desktops which are specified in the command line. This is a
useful reminder of where your active windows are. Windows in
the pager are accordingly to MyStyle definitions
"*PagerUWindowStyle" - for unfocused windows, "*PagerFWin-
dowStyle" - for focused windows and "*PagerSWindowStyle" -
for sticky windows. If you never defined those MyStyles,
Pager will default to same styles as used for actual win-
dows.
The Pager can be used to change your viewport into the
current desktop, to change desktops, or to move windows
around.
Pressing mouse button 1 or 2 in the Pager will cause your
viewport to change to the selected page of the selected
desk. If you click with button 1 in the desk-label area, you
will switch desks but not pages within the desk.
Clicking and dragging with mouse button 2 on a miniature
window in the Pager will cause that window to be move to the
location where you release the mouse button, but your
viewport will not change. If you drag the window out of the
pager and onto your desktop, a full size image of the window
will appear for you to place. There is no way to pick up a
full size image of the window and move it into the Pager,
however. Since some mice do not have button 2, provisions
have been made to drag windows in the Pager by pressing
modifier-1 (usually Alt) and dragging with button 3.
When iconified, the pager will work as a fully functional
current page only pager. Windows and viewports can be moved
within the icon of the pager. Users will want to make sure
that they have no lines similar to
Starting with version 1.7.122 Pager no longer loads back-
ground images into the memory. Module asetroot should be
used to accomplish that task. But Pager will still be able
to switch backgrounds as you switch between desks, after
you've run asetroot to load images. Use *PagerDontDrawBg
option in pager config file to TURN background switching
OFF.
See asetroot man page for more information.

in their feel files.
OPTIONS
-f config_file
Use config_file instead of the default configuration
file.
-h | --help
Print a usage message and exit successfully.
-v | --version
Print version information and exit successfully.
INITIALIZATION
During initialization, Pager will search for a configuration
file which describes the images, locations and actions to
take. This file will be the one specified by the -f option
(if given). Else, the ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/pager
file will be used if it exists. Else,
/usr/local/share/afterstep/pager will be used.
If the Pager executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s
Pager OtherPager, then another module called OtherPager can
be started, with a completely different set of configura-
tions than Pager, simply by adding *OtherPager options fol-
lowing the same *Pager configuration options below to the
pager file. This way multiple Pager programs can be used.
KEYBOARD FOCUS CONTROL
You can direct the keyboard focus to any window on the
current desktop by clicking with button 2 on its image in
the pager. The window does not need to be visible, but it
does need to be on the current page.
INVOCATION
Pager can be invoked from the autoexec file or from a menu
item as shown in the Synopsis section above.
AfterStep will search through the directories specified in
the ModulePath configuration in the base.#bpp (where # is
your colordepth) to attempt to locate Pager.
CONFIGURATION FILES
Pager reads the base.#bpp file and pager file when it starts
up and looks for its configuration options.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS - base.#bpp
The following two configuration options are in the base.#bpp
file:
*DeskTopSize ColumnsxRows
Defines the number of view Columns by the number of
view Rows of the desk(s) in proportional units, i.e.
2x1 would show 2 views of one desk, one beside another.
*DeskTopScale number
If the geometry is not specified, then a desktop reduc-
tion factor is used to calculate the pager's size.
Things in the pager window are shown at 1/number of the
actual size.
MyStyle DEFINITIONS
Starting with version 1.7.60 Pager supports definition of
most of it's visual parameters in look file as MyStyles.
Styles can also be defined in pager config file, but main
contents of the look file will override them. Include them
in your pager config to make sure that you get nice looking
Pager even if styles are not defined in look file. The fol-
lowing standard MyStyle names are used :
*PagerUWindowStyle
(defaults to "unfocused_window_style") - unfocused win-
dow representation's style. Background pixmap and gra-
dient can be used here.
*PagerFWindowStyle
(defaults to "focused_window_style") - focused window
representation's style. Background pixmap and gradient
can be used here.
*PagerSWindowStyle
(defaults to "sticky_window_style") - sticky window
representation's style. Background pixmap and gradient
can be used here.
*PagerActiveDesk
active (selected) desk's label style. This style -
defines only look of the desk's LABEL - to define how
your actual desk window will look like - you should
use *PagerStyle option - see below. Background pixmap,
gradient and transparency can be used here.
*PagerInActiveDesk
Same as above, only for inactive desk's label. Back-
ground pixmap, gradient and transparency can be used
here.
*PagerDesknumber
Defines Style of the desk representation in Pager's
window. This was added to allow for easier theme sup-
port. This style will be overriden by *PagerStyle
option in pager config file.
*PagerBalloon
Mini-window balloon style.
This definitions are dependant on Pager's name, so if
you start Pager as WPager - you should change all the
names, like so : "*PagerInActiveDesk" ->
"*WPagerInActiveDesk"
Different styles can be defined also for Desk's
representations. See *PagerStyle option below.
NOTE: In order to make your look themeble all MyStyles
must be defined in main look file !
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS - pager
The following configuration options are in the pager file:
Balloons
Turns on the balloon feature. A "balloon" is displayed
showing the name of the window the pointer is resting
on in the Pager. Currently only the window's icon name
is shown. Note that balloons are not shown for the
iconified pager. The balloon background and text are
configured with the MyStyle "*PagerBalloon". See
afterstep(1x) for more information on MyStyles.
BalloonBorderWidth number
Sets the width of the balloon window's border. Defaults
to 1.
BalloonBorderColor color
Sets the color of the balloon window's border. Defaults
to black.
BalloonYOffset number
The balloon window is positioned to be horizontally
centered against the application window it is describ-
ing. The vertical position may be set as an offset.
Negative offsets of -N are placed N pixels above the
pager window, positive offsets of +N are placed N pix-
els below. Defaults to +2.
BalloonDelay number
Specifies the period in milliseconds to delay the
appearance of the balloon.
*PagerStickyIcon
Allows the icons of iconified windows to follow you
when switching desks. Without this option, the icons
would stick to the desk the window was iconified in.
*PagerDecoration param1[,param2[,...]]
Allows you to decorate your pager to your liking. The
following parameters can be specified :
DeskBorderWidth width
Specifies the width of the border to be drawn
around each desk
DeskBorderColor color
Defines color of the Desk's border. Use it to
override default which is the style's foreground
color
NoPageSeparator
Turns OFF grid separating pages
GridColor color
Specifies a different color than the fore color to
draw grid lines. If this option is unused, then
the same color specified with *PagerFore will be
used for the grids.
NoSelection
Turns OFF highliting of the current page
SelectionColor color
Turns ON highliting of the current page, and
specifies color of hilighting
NoDeskLabel
Turns OFF desk's labeling
LabelBelowDesk
That will place label below the desk instead of
above the desk. Note: using gradients with this
option will produce funky effect.
HideInactiveLabel
When this option is specifyed - Pager will use
shaped extensions to make label of all inactive
desks transparent.
*PagerSmallFont font-name
Specifies a font to use to label the window names in
the pager. It overrides font specifyed in
Focused/Unfocused/Sticky window style in look file. It
also displays text on background color - which can be
usefull if BackPixmap is specifyed in window style.
Window labels seem to be fairly useless for desktop
scales of 32 or greater.
*PagerGeometry geometry
Completely or partially specifies the pager windows
location and geometry, in standard X11 notation. In
order to maintain an undistorted aspect ratio, you
might want to leave out either the width or height
dimension of the geometry specification.
*PagerStyle desk style
Sets the style to be used for the desk desk representa-
tion in the Pager. Where style can be the name of any
style definition in the look file, and desk is a number
coresponding to the desktop number: 0,1,2,3,N.... Use
it if you want to specify a different style for Pager
background other than the default; which is the scaled
down *PagerDesktopImage.
*PagerStyle desk DeskStyle1
*PagerAlign LabelPosition
Sets the alignment of the labels for the desktops. Use
0 for centered, >0 for left, <0 for right alignment. If
<>0 the absolute value of LabelPosition will be the
distance between label text and window border.
*PagerLabel desk label
Assigns the text label to desk desk in the pager win-
dow. Useful for assigning symbolic names to desktops,
ie
*PagerDontDrawBg
If specifyed, will not display background image, use
this with xearth or xfishtank, or with asetroot.
*PagerRows rows
Tells afterstep how many rows of desks to use when lay-
ing out the pager window. Set to 1 for horizontal Pager
and define PagerColumns.
*PagerColumns columns
Tells afterstep how many columns of desks to use when
laying out the pager window. Set to 1 for vertical
Pager and define PagerRows.
*PagerIconGeometry geometry
Specifies a size (optional) and location (optional) for
the pager's icon window. Since there is no easy way for
Pager to determine the height of the icon's label, you
will have to make an allowance for the icon label
height when using negative y-coordinates in the icon
location specification (used to specify a location
relative to the bottom instead of the top of the
screen).
*PagerStartIconic
Causes the pager to start iconified.
FILES
/usr/local/share/afterstep/pager
The global configuration file for system wide defaults
of all users.
$HOME/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/pager
This file should be copied from the
/usr/local/share/afterstep/pager and edited to suit the
user's specific requirements. This file, if it exists,
will override the system wide default file.
/usr/local/share/afterstep/base.[8|15|16|24|32]bpp
Contains the DeskTopSize & DeskTopScale global settings
for the Pager.
$HOME/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/base.[8|15|16|24|32]bpp
This file should be copied from the
/usr/local/share/afterstep/base.[8|15|16|24|32]bpp and
edited to suit the user's specific requirements for the
DeskTopSize & DeskTopScale settings of the Pager.
EXAMPLES
The pager file shipped contains many examples, refer to the
FILES section above for its configuration options.
To have a Pager oriented vertical on the desktop with 2
desks and 1 view for each desk:
...the autoexec file would contain -
Module "I" Pager 0 1
Wait "I" Pager
...the base.#bpp file would contain -
DeskTopSize 1x1
...the pager file would contain (this modification) -
*PagerRows 2
*PagerColumns 1
To have the Pager swallowed in the Wharf on one button, with
only 1 desk and 4 views:
...the wharf file would contain -
*Wharf Pager - SwallowModule "Pager" Pager 0 0
...the base.#bpp file would contain -
DeskTopSize 2x2
...the pager file would contain (this modification) -
*PagerRows 1
*PagerColumns 1
An example of the Pager swallowed in the Wharf as a Folder
is an example within the wharf file shipped.
