Arrange(1x)						   AfterStep X11 window manager 					       Arrange(1x)

NAME
Arrange - AfterStep module for arranging windows in a tiling or cascading order CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
DESCRIPTION
Arrange was developed to replace Tile and Cascade which were present in AfterStep 1.8 and stopped working with the introduction of After- Step 2.0. Like Tile and Cascade Arrange can be used to tile or cascade windows subject to certain constraints. By default Arrange will cascade windows located on the current screen. OPTIONS
-a Causes all window styles to be affected, even ones with the WindowListSkip style. -alldesks Causes windows on all desks to be effected. -desk Causes all windows on the desk to be cascaded instead of the current screen only. -H Causes windows to be tiled horizontaly. This will only have an effect if -tile is passed. -incx arg Specifies a horizontal increment which is successively added to arranged windows. arg is a percentage of screen width, or pixel value if a p is suffixed. Default is 20p. -incy arg Specifies a vertical increment which is successively added to arranged windows. arg is a percentage of screen height, or pixel value if a p is suffixed. Default is 20p. -m Causes maximized windows to also be affected (implied by -all). -mn arg Tiles up to arg windows in tile direction. If more windows exist, a new direction row or column is created (in effect, a matrix is created). -noraise Inhibits window raising, leaving the depth ordering intact. -nostretch Inhibits window expansion when using the -resize option. Win- dows will only shrink to fit the maximal width and height (if given). -pattern arg Only arrange windows matching the supplied pattern. -r Reverses the window sequence. -resize Forces all windows to resize to the constrained width and height (if given). -s Causes sticky windows to also be affected (implied by -all). -t Causes transient windows to also be affected (implied by -all). -tile Causes windows to be tiled not cascaded. -u Causes untitled windows to also be affected (implied by -all). INVOCATION
Arrange can be invoked from the autoexec file or by binding the action "Module Arrange [args]" to a key-stroke in a feel file. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Command-line arguments passed to Arrange are described in the OPTIONS section. Up to four numbers can be placed on the command line that are not switches. The first pair specify an x and y offset to start the first window (default is 0, 0). The second pair specify an absolute coordi- nate reference denoting the lower right bounding box for tiling. If any number is suffixed with the letter p, then it is taken to be a pixel value, otherwise it is interpreted as a screen percentage. Speci- fying zero for any parameter is equivalent to not specifying it. This invocation will horizontally tile windows with a bounding box which starts at 10 by 10 percent into and down the screen and ends at 90 by 90 percent into and down the screen. Arrange 10 10 90 90 -tile -H It is probably not a good idea to delete windows while windows are being arranged. 3rd Berkeley Distribution AfterStep v.2.2.11 Arrange(1x)

NAME
FeelWindowBox - defines placement policy for certain type of windows, based on desk, window attributes, window size, etc. Useful for xin- erama configurations, where windows should not be placed in between screens. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Area WxH+X+Y This defines the confining region of a WindowBox. Desk desk Limits the effects of this WindowBox to the specified desk. FirstTry SmartPlacement|RandomPlacement|Tile strategy to use while placing window. The FirstTry strategy will attempt to place window in empty space only. See Also: Window Placement types for further details. MaxHeight height places restrains on what size window could be placed in this area. MaxLayer max_layer Limits effects of the WindowBox to windows with layer value that falls in range. MaxWidth width Places restrains on what size window could be placed in this area. MinHeight height places restrains on what size window could be placed in this area. MinLayer min_layer limits the effects of the WindowBox to windows with layer value that falls in range. MinWidth width places restrains on what size window could be placed in this area. ReverseOrder This will reverse order in which Cascade and Tile strategies are applied, making it Right-to-left, bottom-to-top. ReverseOrderHorizontal FIXME: add proper description here. ReverseOrderVertical FIXME: add proper description here. ThenTry RandomPlacement|Cascade|Manual backup strategy to use when there is no suitable empty space. See Also: Window Placement types for further details. VerticalPriority Cascading and Tiling will be done in Vertical direction first. Virtual Defines that area is in virtual coordinates. WindowBox "windowbox_name" Starts a WindowBox definition. ~WindowBox ends it. XSpacing FIXME: add proper description here. YSpacing FIXME: add proper description here. This is a whole new thing to allow better window placement policy : WindowBox "some_name" Area WxH+X+Y Virtual MinWidth width MinHeight height MaxWidth width MaxHeight height FirstTry SmartPlacement|RandomPlacement|Tile ThenTry RandomPlacement|Cascade|Manual VerticalPriority ReverseOrder Desk desk MinLayer min_layer MaxLayer max_layer ~WindowBox Note that old SmartPlacement/RandomPlacement has been coopted to be used for Default windowbox. 3rd Berkeley Distribution AfterStep v.2.2.11 FeelWindowBox(1x)
