NAME
Animate - the AfterStep iconify animation module
SYNOPSIS
Animate is spawned by afterstep, so no command line invo-
cation will work.
From within the autoexec file Animate is spawned as fol-
lows:
Module "I" Animate
or from within an afterstep menu file by 'Animate':
cat "~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/start/Modules/Animate"
Module "Animate" Animate
MiniPixmap "mini-as.xpm"
To stop the Animate module, a menu item can be used:
cat "~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/start/Modules/Animate_Stop"
KillModuleByName "Stop Animate" Animate
MiniPixmap "mini-as.xpm"
DESCRIPTION
The Animate module performs animation on window iconifica-
tion and deiconification in several styles and colors.
INITIALIZATION
During initialization, Animate will search for a configu-
ration file which describes the colors, style and actions
to take. The configuration file is /usr/local/share/after-
step/animate; but can be overriden by
~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/animate .
INVOCATION
Animate can be invoked from the autoexec file or from a
menu item as shown in the Synopsis section above.
AfterStep will search through the directories specified in
the ModulePath configuration in the base.#bpp (where # is
your colordepth) to attempt to locate Animate.
CONFIGURATION FILE
Animate reads the animate file when it starts up and looks
for it's configuration options:
