Wharf(1)                 AfterStep X11 window manager                 Wharf(1)



NAME
       Wharf - AfterStep module for launching or docking applications aka
       button bar



MyStyle DEFINITIONS
       MyStyle "*WharfTile"

              Specifies the style of the wharf button tiles, including
              background color, background pixmap (which may be transparent),
              and background gradient. This method of specifying the
              background is preferred over the BgColor, MaxColors, Pixmap,
              TextureColor, and TextureType options, although those (older)
              options do still work. See MyStyle format for details.


       MyStyle "*WharfOddTile"

              Specifies the style of every odd wharf button tile. See MyStyle
              format for details.


       MyStyle "*WharfFocusedTile"

              Specifies the style of the wharf button tile under the mouse
              pointer, including background color, background pixmap (which
              may be transparent), and background gradient. See MyStyle format
              for details.


       MyStyle "*WharfOddFocusedTile"

              Specifies the style of every odd wharf button tile under the
              mouse pointer. See MyStyle format for details.




CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       AlignContents
       Left,Top,Right,Bottom,HTiled,VTiled,HScaled,VScaled,HCenter,VCenter

              That will force contents of each Wharf's button to be aligned to
              either side of the button, when FitContents is not used.

              See Also: Alignment flags for further details.



       Animate

              If specified, the opening and closing of Folders will be
              animated, rather than simply drawn in one frame.



       AnimateDelay

              Specifies the delay in milliseconds that the animation will
              pause between each move when opening or closing a folder.



       AnimateMain

              Designates that full-length Wharf withdraws will be animated.



       AnimateSteps

              Specifies the steps a Folder takes in animating while opening or
              closing. This translates into the Folder button moving
              button-size/ steps pixels each step.



       AnimateStepsMain

              Specifies the steps the main Wharf takes in iconification or
              de-iconification upon mouse button 3 being pressed. This
              translates into the main Wharf moving <button-size>/ steps
              pixels each step.



       BalloonBorderHilite

              Defines bevel to be drawn around balloons - replaces the
              BorderWidth setting.

              See Also: Bevel flags for further details.



       BalloonCloseDelay number

              Specifies the period in milliseconds to delay the disappearance
              of the balloon when leaving window with the mouse.



       BalloonDelay number

              Specifies the period in milliseconds to delay the appearance of
              the balloon.



       BalloonStyle MyStyle

              MyStyle to be used to draw balloon. Note that balloons could be
              shaped (BackPixmap 125 and 126).



       BalloonTextPaddingX size

              width of the border around the text in balloons.



       BalloonTextPaddingY size

              height of the border around the text in balloons.



       BalloonXOffset

              The balloon window is positioned to be horizontally centered
              against the Wharf window it is describing. The horizontal
              position may be set as an offset. Negative offsets of-Nare
              placed N pixels left of the Wharf window, positive offsets of +N
              are placed N pixels right of the window. Defaults to +2.



       BalloonYOffset

              The balloon window is positioned to be horizontally centered
              against the Wharf window it is describing. The vertical position
              may be set as an offset. Negative offsets of-Nare placed N
              pixels above the Wharf window, positive offsets of +N are placed
              N pixels below. Defaults to +2.



       Balloons

              Turns on the balloon feature. A "balloon" is displayed showing
              the name of the button the pointer is resting on in the Wharf .
              The balloon background and text are configured with the MyStyle
              "*WharfBalloon". See afterstep(1x) for more information on
              MyStyles.



       Bevel None|[Left,Top,Right,Bottom,Extra,NoOutline]

              Determines exact size and shape of the 3D bevel drawn around
              each button. This option is somewhat synonymous to NoBorder. If
              NoBorder is encountered after Bevel - then it will override
              Bevel, otherwise Bevel will override NoBorder.

              See Also: Bevel flags for further details.




       Columns

              Specifies the number of columns of buttons to be created. This
              will give your Wharf a vertical layout, with the number of
              columns equal to the number specificed in columns . If
              unspecified, the number of columns will be set to 1. If the
              columns are set to a number greater than 1, then there will be
              that number of columns with enough rows to satisfy the requested
              number of buttons. Only one of *WharfRows or *WharfColumns
              should be specified.



       CompositionMethod testure_type

              Determines algorithm used to blend all the icons and Wharf
              background to form the button's image. Valid es are 130-145 (
              see MyStyles section ). The default value is 131 (
              alpha-blending )



       FitContents

              Wharf will draw each button so that it fits its contents
              perfectly (icon or swallowed app ). That will cause some of the
              Wharf's buttons to differ in size from others. Use in
              conjunction with ShapeToContents.



       FlipLabel

              Will cause Wharf to draw vertical label text.



       FolderOffset size

              sets the distance between opened folder and its parent.



       ForceSize Size

              If specified, will force pixmaps to Size instead of the default
              of 64x64. This has no effect on the Size of the displayed icons
              (they will be croped if larger).




       Geometry

              Specifies the Wharf window location and/or size. If the size is
              not specified, Wharf will auto-size itself in a reasonable
              manner. The geometry is a standard X11 window geometry
              specification; see XParseGeometry(3x) , and EXAMPLES (below) for
              further details.



       LabelLocation number

              Specifies the location of the label. Correct values are integers
              from 0-32. label could be drawn on each side of the button and
              just on top of icon. It could also be aligned to different
              sides.



       MyStyle

              Specifies the style of the wharf button tiles, including
              background color, background pixmap (which may be transparent),
              and background gradient. This method of specifying the
              background is preferred over the BgColor, MaxColors, Pixmap,
              TextureColor, and TextureType options, although those (older)
              options do still work.

              See Also: MyStyle definition for further details.



       NoBalloons

              Do not show Balloons in Wharf.






       OrthogonalFolderOffset size

              sets the offset of an opened folder relative to its parent
              orthogonal to the opening direction. In other words this can be
              used to move the opened folder parallel to its parent




       Rows

              Specifies the number of rows of buttons to be created. This will
              give your Wharf a horizontal layout, with the number of rows
              equal to the number specified in rows . If unspecified, the
              number of rows will be set to 1. If the rows are set to a number
              greater than 1, then there will be that number of rows with
              enough columns to satisfy the requested number of buttons. Only
              one of *WharfRows or *WharfColumns should be specified.



       ShapeToContents

              Will cause Wharf to use X Shaped extentions and have a window of
              non-rectangular shape. Shape is composed from the overall
              geometry of buttons ( see FitContents ), shape of the MyStyle
              used to draw Wharf background ( if BackPixmap 126 or 125 is used
              ), contents of each button - such as swallowed app's shape,
              label and icons.



       ShowHints

              FIXME: add proper description here.

              See Also: Balloon Contents flags for further details.



       ShowLabel

              Tells Wharf to render a label on each of its buttons,
              effectively immitating the behaviour of the discontinued Zharf
              module.



       Sound

              FIXME: add proper description here.

              See Also: Wharf sound definition for further details.



       StretchBackground

              This should allow for all kinds of skins where each button is
              just a part of large shaped figure.





       WithdrawStyle

              Specifies the circumstances under which button 3 should cause
              the Wharf to withdraw to a corner. If style is 0, button 3 will
              do nothing. If style is 1 (the default), a click on any button
              in the toplevel bar will cause Wharf to withdraw to the nearest
              corner. If style is 2, a click on either the first or the last
              button in the toplevel bar will cause the withdrawal.
