FeelWindowBox(1x) AfterStep X11 window manager FeelWindowBox(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

ReverseOrderVertical

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

This is a whole new thing to allow better window placement policy :

XClearArea, XClearWindow - clear area or window
Syntax
XClearArea(display, w, x, y, width, height, exposures)
Display *display;
Window w;
int x, y;
unsigned int width, height;
Bool exposures;
XClearWindow(display, w)
Display *display;
Window w;
Arguments
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
exposures Specifies a Boolean value that indicates if events are to be generated.
w Specifies the window.
width
height Specify the width and height, which are the dimensions of the rectangle.
x
y Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the origin of the window and specify the upper-left corner of the rectan-
gle.
Description
The function paints a rectangular area in the specified window according to the specified dimensions with the window's background pixel or
pixmap. The subwindow-mode effectively is If width is zero, it is replaced with the current width of the window minus x. If height is
zero, it is replaced with the current height of the window minus y. If the window has a defined background tile, the rectangle clipped by
any children is filled with this tile. If the window has background the contents of the window are not changed. In either case, if expo-
sures is one or more events are generated for regions of the rectangle that are either visible or are being retained in a backing store.
If you specify a window whose class is a error results.
can generate and errors.
The function clears the entire area in the specified window and is equivalent to (display, w, 0, 0, 0, 0, If the window has a defined back-
ground tile, the rectangle is tiled with a plane-mask of all ones and function. If the window has background the contents of the window
are not changed. If you specify a window whose class is a error results.
can generate and errors.
Diagnostics
An window is used as a Drawable.
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument
defined as a set of alternatives can generate this error.
A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
