First of all, I'd like to thank everybody for the effort they have put in. I took me a couple of days to get AS-2 to look the way I like it (simple!). I still haven't been able to get it to look like my old AS-1.8.
I've noticed a few things as I use it.
1. I used to use non anti-aliased fonts (as AS did not support it!). I still like non anti-aliased fonts for my title bars, and menus etc. Is there anyway I can turn of the anti-aliasing. I tried using the old -adobe-helvetica-medium... font spec, but the fonts look vry different to what I can see using xfontsel or using AS-1.8. I added the appropriate paths to the Font path in afterstep/base.
2. Every time I update the look/feel and use the Desktop->Update All menu action, the Pager grows by a few pixels. I use a 4 row x 1 column pager on the bottom right of my screen. Each desktop is 2x2 screens. The pager seems to grow taller, but not fatter!
3. Trying to use Quit->Restart this Session (with afterstep) menu will kill all my windows and exit afterstep. The X Server does NOT crash. I liked the old behaviour as it allowed me clean up if AS became a bit unstable (not following my sloppy pointer focus) after several days.
I'll keep you informed about other things I might see as I continue usin it.
Thanks a lot!
Rgds,
Anwar Puthu.
