NAME
WinList - the AfterStep window list module
SYNOPSIS
WinList [-f config_file] [-v | --version] [-h | --help]
Although WinList can be run from the command line, it is
normally spawned by afterstep in the autoexec file, in the
following manner:
Module "I" WinList
From within an afterstep menu file by 'WinList':
% cat "~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/start/Modules/WinList"
Module "WinList" WinList
MiniPixmap "mini-as.xpm"
To stop the WinList module, a menu item can be used:
% cat "~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/start/Modules/WinList_Stop"
KillModuleByName "Stop WinList" WinList
MiniPixmap "mini-as.xpm"
DESCRIPTION
The WinList module provides a window list made up of but-
tons, each corresponding to a window that AfterStep is
managing. Clicking on the buttons with any of the three
mouse buttons will either do a default action or can be user
configured by editing the winlist file.
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, WinList will search a configuration
file which describes the colors, font, actions to take on
mouse clicks, and geometry settings to use. This file will
be the one specified by the -f option (if given). Else, the
~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/winlist file will be used if it
exists. Else, /usr/local/share/afterstep/winlist will be
used.
If the WinList executable is linked to another name, ie 'ln
-s WinList OtherWinList', then another module called Oth-
erWinList can be started, with a completely different set of
configurations than WinList, simply by adding *OtherWinList
options following the same *WinList configuration options
below to the winlist file. This way multiple Identify pro-
grams can be used.
INVOCATION
WinList can be invoked from the autoexec file or from a menu
item as shown in the Synopsis section above.
WinList can also be invoked from binding "Module WinList
argument" to a keystroke or mouse button using Transient as
an argument which will cause WinList to resemble the built-
in window list.
AfterStep will search through the directories specified in
the ModulePath configuration in the base.#bpp (where # is
your colordepth) to attempt to locate WinList.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
WinList reads the winlist file when it starts up, and looks
for its configuration options. The MyStyle structure should
now be specified in the look files. This allows for a
greater control of the running module (different WinList
look with different desktop looks, dynamic reconfiguration
etc.).
MyStyle "*WinList"
style_option
~MyStyle
The possible style_options follow:
Font font
Specifies the font associated with this style.
font is a standard X11 font definition.
ForeColor color
Specifies the text color associated with this
style. color is a standard X11 color definition.
BackColor color
Specifies the background color associated with
this style. color is a standard X11 color defini-
tion.
TextStyle style
Specifies the text style associated with this
style. style can be 0, 1, or 2:
0: normal text
1: 3d effect #1
2: 3d effect #2
MaxColors maximum
Specifies the maximum number of colors that the
BackGradient can use. jpegs specified with Back-
Pixmap will also be limited to this number of
colors.
BackGradient type from to
Specifies that a gradient should be used as a
background instead of a solid color. The gradient
colors start at from and end at to. from and to
are standard X11 color definitions. type can be 1,
2, 3, 4, or 5:
1: Wharf-style diagonal gradient
2: Horizontal from top to bottom
3: Horizontal from top/bottom to center
4: Vertical from left to right
5: Vertical from left/right to center
BackPixmap type pixmap_name|color_name
Specifies that a pixmap should be used as a back-
ground instead of a solid color. This option has
two forms, depending on the value of type. If type
is 128, the second parameter, pixmap_name must be
the name of an xpm, jpeg, or png image which can
be found in PixmapPath. If type is 129, the root
pixmap (desktop background) will be used, and the
optional second parameter must be a color with
which the root pixmap will be shaded.
128: tiled pixmap from the upper left
129: "transparent"
*WinListGeometry geometry
Specifies the location and gravity of the WinList win-
dow. At the current time, size is not supported and
WinList will resize itself as buttons are added. If
the NoAnchor option is not specified then the window's
gravity corner will be anchored, and the window will
grow in the opposite direction. (i.e. If the geometry
is specified -5-5, that is SoutEastGravity. This will
cause the window to draw up and to the left as windows
are added)
*WinListHideGeometry geometry
Specifies the location of the WinList window when there
are no windows. It will cause WinList to display nice
little window with AfterStep version in there. If size
is supplied WinList will center the label within the
window.
*WinListUseSkipList
Tells WinList to not show the windows that are have
WindowListSkip as a Style option in the atabase file.
*WinListNoAnchor
By default, WinList will anchor the gravity corner so
the window will grow in the opposite direction. This
undoes that option.
*WinListUseIconNames
Tells WinList to use the icon name of the window
instead of the full window name. This is useful to
keep the width of the window small.
*WinListAction action response[,reponse...]
Tells WinList to do response when action is done. The
currently supported actions are: Click1, Click2,
Click3. The currently supported responses are any Aft-
erStep built-in commands, including modules and func-
tions.
*WinListOrientation down|across
Will make a vertical or horizontal winlist.
*WinListMaxWidth width in pixel
Sets either maxwidth for a vertical winlist or the
actual width for a horizontal "taskbar".
*WinListJustify <Left|Center|Right>
If used, will justify the text as specifyed. If
unspecified, the default is to center text.
*WinListAutoHide number
Makes WinList auto-hide, when the mouse cursor travels
off WinList it reduces its size and becomes a line,
when the mouse cursor travels onto hidden WinList it
readjusts its size to normal dimensions. 0 turns this
feature off, positive numbers turn it on. This option
makes sense only when WinList is set to StaysOnTop in
the database file. It is possible to turn AutoHide
on/off when the module is running: pressing 'u' while
the cursor is in the WinList window permanently
unhides, pressing 'h' while the cursor is in the Win-
List window turns AutoHide on.
*WinListBalloons
Turns on the balloon feature. A "balloon" is displayed
showing the name of the button the pointer is resting
on in the WinList. The balloon background and text are
configured with the MyStyle "*WinListBalloon". See
afterstep(1x) for more information on MyStyles.
*WinListBalloonBorderWidth number
Sets the width of the balloon window's border. Defaults
to 1.
*WinListBalloonBorderColor color
Sets the color of the balloon window's border. Defaults
to black.
*WinListBalloonDelay number
Specifies the period in milliseconds to delay the
appearance of the balloon.
*WinListBalloonYOffset number
The balloon window is positioned to be horizontally
centered against the WinList window it is describing.
The vertical position may be set as an offset. Negative
offsets of -N are placed N pixels above the WinList
window, positive offsets of +N are placed N pixels
below. Defaults to +2.
FILES
/usr/local/share/afterstep/winlist
The global configuration file for system wide defaults
of all users.
$HOME/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/winlist
This file should be copied from the
/usr/local/share/afterstep/winlist and edited to suit
the user's specific requirements. This file, if
exists, will override the system wide default file.
EXAMPLES
The winlist file shipped contains a working example, refer
to the FILES section above for its configuration options.
To pop up the window list in tranient mode (appear only when
button 3 is pressed & held):
...the feel file would contain -
Mouse 3 R A Module "WinList" WinList Transient
