'allo,
I have AfterStep-1.7.37 built on my Sparc5-solaris2.6 system. But
there are some questions I have. It has been a while since I have
worked with AfterStep (last I worked with AfterStep was I believe
1.4.55n or something).
1. When I fire up an xterm from my menu, I want to be able to do the
placement of the window myself. I dont want it done for me.
Where and how do I change it ?
2. The number of colours used up by AS-1.7.37 seems a bit high to
me. Is there a way to control this ? If I fire up AS-1.7.37,
have it open up a couple of xterms, have a pager, a wharf with
four buttons and a couple of icons at the bottom, then the
traffic lights in the wharf do not look right at all. Also I
can't get enough colour for netscape (yes I could force netscape
to use the -install option or something like that to get its own
private colourmap) or any other application I use (emacs, asload,
xcalc, xcalendar, xpostit, etc). I have a machine at home on
which I have AfterStep built and everything is working fine colourwise.
3. When I deiconfiy something, I would like it to open up in the
desktop page I am currently in, not in the original one that the window
was iconified. I use a single Desktop that is 3x2. If I iconify
something in page 1 and move it to page 4 and then deiconify it, i
want the window to open up in page 4, not in page 1 as it currently
does.
I think thats about it for the time being.
thanx,
mehul
