Scroll(1.20)

NAME
       Scroll - the AfterStep scroll-bar module

SYNOPSIS
       Scroll is spawned by AfterStep, so no command line invoca-
       tion will work.

DESCRIPTION
       The Scroll module prompts the user to select a target win-
       dow,  if  the module was not launched from within a window
       context in AfterStep.  After that, it adds scroll bars  to
       the  selected  window,  to  reduce the total desktop space
       consumed by the window.

       Scroll reads ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/scroll file  when
       it  starts up, and looks for lines similar to "*ScrollFore
       green".

       Scroll should not be  used  with  windows  which  move  or
       resize  themselves,  nor  should  it  be used with windows
       which set the WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS property.  Operation  is
       fine with windows that have a private colormap.

INITIALIZATION
       During  initialization,  Scroll  will  eventually search a
       configuration file which describes the colors to use.

       If the Scroll executable is linked to another name, ie  ln
       -s  Scroll  MoreScroll,  then  another module called More-
       Scroll can be started, with a completely different config-
       uration  than  Scroll,  simply  by  changing  the  keyword
       Scroll to MoreScroll.

INVOCATION
       Scroll can be invoked by binding the action 'Module Scroll
       x    y'    to    a    menu    or    key-stroke    in   the
       ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/scroll file.  The parameter  x
       and y are integers, which describe the horizontal and ver-
       tical window size reduction.  AfterStep will search direc-
       tory  specified  in the ModulePath configuration option to
       attempt to locate Scroll. Although nothing keeps you  from
       launching Scroll at start-up time, you probably don't want
       to put it in autoexec file.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       Scroll reads ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/scroll file  when
       it starts up, and looks for lines as listed below:

       *ScrollFore color
              Tells  the  module to use color instead of grey for
              scroll bars themselves.

       *ScrollBack color
              Tells the module to use color instead of black  for
              the window background.

BUGS
       When the scroll bars are removed by clicking on the button
       in the lower right corner, the window does not restore its
       location correctly.
