Yes. This is actualy not very difficult.
Assuming you're using one of the later releases of Afterstep (not 1.0)
take a look in your ~/GNUstep/Library/Afterstep/feels/ directory. Here
you can add your own "feel" by creating a feel.KFeel or whatever you want
to call it.
If the directory is empty, copy one of the default feels (ie.
feel.DEFAULT) from /usr/local/share/afterstep/feels/ into this directory,
rename it and edit this file.
There are many examples in the file itself, but following is the line I
use to start aterm by pressing F5 (end the lines I use to control xmms :)
Key F5 A N Exec "plain aterm" aterm -tr -trsb -tint
"#ffcc99" -sh 75 -tinttype true -sl 2000 -sb &
Key F8 A A Exec "x11amp rev" exec xmms -r
Key F9 A A Exec "x11amp play" exec xmms -p
Key F10 A A Exec "x11amp paus" exec xmms -u
Key F11 A A Exec "x11amp stop" exec xmms -s
Key F12 A A Exec "x11amp fwd" exec xmms -f
To make your new feel.file show up on the Startmenu->Desktop->feel-menu,
select Startmenu->Desktop->Update startmenu.
Hope this helps. Trying to help before the mornings first coffeine. :)
