.SH BUTTON THEMES
|
|
.PD
|
|
Depending on your WindowMaker theme you might want to use another
|
|
theme for wmpager as well. Use option '\-t' or '\-\-theme' to specify
|
|
the location of an XPM file (the extension '.xpm' is optional, it has
|
|
to be an XPM file though). If you use option '\-i', '\-\-installdir' or
|
|
have set the environment variable WMPAGER to the installation location
|
|
of the wmpager themes, then you may also skip the path to the theme.
|
|
|
|
Predefined themes: Well, I'm not much of an artist therefore I've only
|
|
included some themes to give you an idea of how a real nice theme
|
|
might be done. Naturally, I use the built\-in theme and theme support
|
|
is only there because I have been asked to include it...
|
|
|
|
If you create a theme yourself please send it to me and I'll include it
|
|
in the next build.
|
|
|
|
The list of predefined themes in this release includes:

blue (the built\-in theme)

|
|
Creating your own themes: If you want to create your own theme simply
|
|
take one of the included XPM theme files and modify it to your needs.
|
|
If you really want to know, the format of the file is described below.
|
|
|
|
XPM file format: The XPM file has to be at least 102 by 71 pixels in
|
|
size. The area 0,0 to 50,50 describes the background for the selected
|
|
workspace, the area 51,0 to 101,50 for unselected work spaces. The
|
|
area has to include a one\-pixel border that is used for all workspace
|
|
buttons. From 0,51 to 89,60 are the digits used for the selected
|
|
workspace (each 10x10 pixels, 1\-9 from left to right) and from 0,61 to
|
|
89,70 are the digits for unselected workspaces. The digits may have
|
|
a transparent background.

|
.SH REQUIREMENTS
|
|
In order for wmpager to work properly you need to have your Window
|
|
Maker compiled with Gnome support. (I don't know if this is the case
|
|
for the precompiled Window Makers usually found in Linux distributions
|
|
since I usually build my Window Maker myself.)
|
|
|
|
wmpager uses the Gnome support messages sent out by Window Maker to
|
|
display the currently active workspace. Without Gnome support the
|
|
pager will not automatically adjust the currently active desktop.
