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 extensions 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.
