NOTES:
|
|
------
|
|
This is a simple application launching tool for use in WindowMaker, and
|
|
possibly Afterstep. (Who knows, it should run for other window managers too,
|
|
by why bother?? It is taken from wmcp, by Ben Cohen, and modified just
|
|
enough to run applications rather than send ALT-[1..9] key sequences to
|
|
WindowMaker. It has also taken some ideas from asbuttons, and
|
|
included them back into the original. There may still be some code
|
|
left over from wmcp that is no longer needed, but...
|
|
|
|
The mini-icons must be combined into a single graphic, buttons.xpm. The
|
|
background border is defined in backdrop.xpm. Both must be edited in your
|
|
favorite graphics editor (GIMP??), and then recompiled. wmbuttons uses a
|
|
configuration file (usually ~/.wmbutton) for which applications to launch.
|
|
There is no need to restart wmbuttons when simply changing the configuration,
|
|
as wmbutton searches the file whenever a button is pressed.
|
|
|
|
As of release 0.5, you can also pass in your own pixmap file for the
|
|
buttons, to override the buttons that are compiled it. This file should
|
|
still have the same height and width so that it will make sense,
|
|
though really you give it any XPM you want, but it will only display
|
|
the upper left 54x54 pixel corner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
An example file is included, related to the the buttons.xpm graphic file.
|
|
|
|
TODO:
|
|
-----
|
|
Add ability (via config file) to use discrete 16x16 pixel icons for
|
|
the buttons, rather than having to paste them all into the existing file.
|
|
Make changing icons and/or background graphics easier.
|
|
Allow for less than 9 icons, 4 would be nicer on the mini-icon size.
|
|
|
