DON'T YOU EVER DARE TO TOUCH non-configurable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
non-configurable is NON CONFIGURABLE
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ppl, please read FAQ and manual pages first, before doing any
configuration,
reporting problems or making sugestions .
If you want to change your configuration - copy it first from
/usr/local/share/afterstep
to ~/G/L/A/
Then, To change your feel ( that's where AS keyboard bindings are defined )
edit
any feel you like in ~/G/L/A/feels, save it under feel.YOUR_FEEL_NAME.
Then, in AfterStep menu do :
menu/Desktop/Update startmenu
menu/Desktop/Feels/feel.YOUR_FEEL_NAME
that will copy this feel file into non-configurable/feel.#bpp
and make it default for you !
Again, if you need to change your startmenu - edit, add, remove stuff
in ~/G/L/A/start
Then, in AfterStep menu do :
menu/Desktop/Update startmenu
uuuurrrrgggghhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
