Background module
To get background images on your screens, use the Background module. The Module command should come after the Screen command, and the initstring should be the filename of the picture(*). Example:
Screen "My Screen"
Module "Background" "/users/marcus/gfx/AMIGA.gif"
The Background module is really a shell script that requires that the program 'xloadimage' is in the PATH of amiwm.
(*) Because xloadimage is used, the initstring may also contain flags to
xloadimage, like -fullscreen, or -colors. Like this: Module "Background" "-colors 100 -fullscreen /users/marcus/gfx/Amy.gif"
Keyboard module
With the Keyboard module, you can bind window manager functions to keys on the keyboard. The initstring should consist of keybindings on the form
modifiers<keysym>:where:func
modifiers
Modifiers is 0 or more of:
Shift Control Meta Lock
Mod1 Mod2 Mod3 Mod4 Mod5
Button1 Button2 Button3 Button4 Button5
The modifiers listed must be pressed together with the key to activate the binding.
keysym
Keysym is a standard X keysym name, like F1 or Prior.
where
where is either "all", or one or more of window, frame, icon, root separated with '|' (bar). This controls in what areas of the screen that the key will be active.
func
The function to perform when the key is pressed. Currently the following are defined:
rotatescreens - Move the frontmost screen to the back
front - Move the window in which the key is pressed to the front back - Move the window in which the key is pressed to the back iconify - Iconify the window in which the key is pressed
- Example
Module "Keyboard" "\
Meta<F1>:window|frame:front\
Meta<F2>:window|frame:iconify\
Meta<F3>:window|frame:back"
This binds the keys Meta-F1, Meta-F2 and Meta-F3 to front, back and iconify respectively. The will only have effect inside windows and in window frames. (These are the only places that front/iconfy/back has effect anyway.)
