NAME
MyFrame - defines how AfterStep should construct window's frame
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
AllowBorder
Denotes that beveled borders should be drawn around the window frame and titlebar. This is on by
default, so this option is only useful in combination with inheriting previously defined window
frames.
See Also: Inherit MyFrame for details.
CondenseTitlebar Left|Right|Center
Allows titlebars to be smaller then the size of the window. The parameter defines the Alignment of
the whole titlebar.
See Also: Alignment flags for further details.
Corner [ SouthEast | SouthWest | NorthEast | NorthWest ] "pixmap_name"
Specifies the corner of the window frame to be decorated and the pixmap to be used.
CornerAlign
FIXME: add proper description here.
See Also: Alignment flags for further details.
CornerBevel Bottom|Extra|NoInline|NoOutline|none|Left|Right|Top
Sets the default bevel of a window s frame corners.
If you need different bevels for the different window states, use CornerFocusedBevel,
CornerUnfocusedBevel, CornerStickyBevel
See Also: Bevel flags for further details.

None|[Left,Top,Right,Bottom,Extra,NoOutline]
Sets the bevel of the window s frame corners while window is in sticky state. This overwrites any
value set with CornerBevel.
If this is not used, values set with CornerBevel will be used.

the same BackPixmap is used for several frames, as the pixmap will only be loaded for the
inherited frame.

Window frame decorations (aka MyFrame)
Each window is surrounded by so-called frame decoration. each frame decoration could be built from
9 TBars:
1) Main Titlebar with icons on left, label in the middle and icons on right. Label may also have
special underlying image - so called Title Background. Ordering of this elements is set by
TitleButtonOrder setting ( see below ).
2) 4 frame sides. Each of this have fixed width that is determined by SideSize setting or image
size if SideSize is omitted. Second dimension of the TBar changes to match the size of the window.
3) 4 frame corners. Each of this have both fixed width and height, as determined by CornerSize
setting or image size.
Each of above elements is rendered by generating background using respective MyStyle, and then
overlaying images/buttons and text on top of it. Default overlaying is done using composition
method alpha-blend. In case of main Titlebar that could be changed. Bevel is then drawn on top of
the image as specified in respective setting.
MyFrame allows different MyStyles to be used for titlebar and frame decorations. If any of those
are omitted - default setting from FWindowStyle/UWindowStyle/SWindowStyle will be used.
Important: If you use semi-transparent images for frame sides - they will be overlayed on top of
MyStyle generated background, so if you want it to be overlayed over root background - you should
use MyStyle with BackPixmap set to 129 or 149.
Also note that unless you use MYStyle with BackPixmap 126 and 125 - frame decorations will not be
shaped. Likewise if you want frame part to have only the shape of the image, you specified, with
no background at all - use MyStyle with BackPixmap set like so :
BackPixmap 126 empty.xpm
Where empty.xpm is 1x1 completely transparent image (supplied as desktop/icons/common/empty.xpm ).
To identify side/corner it is possible to use abbreviations, such as: N, NW, SW, etc.
All the CompositionMethod settings must have one of the BackPixmap types from MyStyles ( ie
130-143 )
Align setting may have different meaning/capabilities for different items. When applied to text -
it simply aligns text to sides mentioned. When applied to image - such as title background or
frame side pixmap - it also specifies if image should be tiled, scaled or left same size. Make
sure that you use HTiled,VTiled or HScaled,VScaled for frame sides - otherwise images on they will
not be resized to match window size (this is also a feature :).
To center item specify Align to include both sides. For example :
Align Left,Right
will center item horizontally.
Note that TitleBackground option allows you to specify an image to be used under titlebar label in
addition to the MyStyle. This was done for better shaped titlebars. You may have MyStyle to be
completely transparent shape, while TitleBackground some non-transparent image, and that will
provide better visibility for the titlebar text.
