CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       BackColor color

	      Specifies the background color associated with this style. color
	      is a color definition in one of the color formats	 supported  by
	      AfterStep.

	      BackColor	 is also used to calculate bevel colors used to draw a
	      border around a widget.

       BackGradient type  from	to

	      Specifies that a gradient should be used as a background instead
	      of  a  solid color. The gradient colors start at from and end at
	      to . from and to are color definition in one  of	the  supported
	      color  formats  .	 If gradient includes at least one transparent
	      color ( alpha value set to be  below  FF	),  gradient  will  be
	      alpha-blended  over the root background image. type can be 1, 2,
	      3, 4, or 5:

	      1: Wharf-style diagonal gradient
	      2: Horizontal from top to bottom
	      3: Horizontal from top/bottom to center
	      4: Vertical from left to right
	      5: Vertical from left/right to center
	      6: Top-Left to Bottom Right diagonal ( same as 1 )
	      7: Bottom-Left to Top-Right diagonal
	      8: Vertical Top to Bottom ( same as 2 )
	      9: Horizontal Left to Right ( same as 4 )

       BackMultiGradient type  offset1	color1 ... offsetN  colorN

	      Specifies that a gradient should be used as a background instead
	      of a solid color. The gradient colors start at color1 and end at
	      colorN . Each color has an offset associated with it. The offset
	      is a number between 0.0 and 1.0, and specifies where in the gra‐
	      dient the colors are to be placed. The colors are in one of  the
	      color  formats  supported by AfterStep. At least two colors must
	      be given. If gradient includes at least one transparent color  (
	      alpha value set to be below FF ), gradient will be alpha-blended
	      over the root background image. The offsets  are	non-decreasing
	      numbers  between 0.0 and 1.0. If the first offset is not 0.0, it
	      will be set to 0.0. If the last offset is not 1.0,  it  will  be
	      set to 1.0. type may be any of the following:

	      6: Top-Left to Bottom Right diagonal
	      7: Bottom-Left to Top-Right diagonal
	      8: Vertical Top to Bottom
	      9: Horizontal Left to Right

       BackPixmap type	pixmap_name|color_name

	      Specifies	 that  a pixmap should be used as a background instead
	      of a solid color. This option has two forms,  depending  on  the
	      value of type :

	      If  type	is  125,  126, 127, 128, 130-144, 150-164 - the second
	      parameter, pixmap_name must be the name of an image  file	 which
	      can be found in PixmapPath .

	      If  type is 129 or 149 the root pixmap (desktop background) will
	      be used, and the optional second parameter must be a color  with
	      which the root pixmap will be shaded/tinted.

	      Depending	 on  the value of type AfterStep will render pixmap in
	      many different ways :

       125    Image is SCALED to the size of the widget, and  its  opacity  is
	      used to set the shape of the widget/window decoration, achieving
	      non-rectangular window effect.

       126    Image is TILED to the size of the widget,	 and  its  opacity  is
	      used to set the shape of the widget/window decoration, achieving
	      non-rectangular window effect.

       127    Image is SCALED to the size of the widget.

       128    Image is Tiled to the size of the image.

       129    Underlying desktop background is tinted/shaded  with  the	 color
	      specified with the second parameter.

       130    Underlying  desktop  background  is  combined  with tiled image,
	      using "allanon" method - taking average of pixel values.

       131    Underlying desktop background is alpha-blended with tiled image.

       132    Underlying desktop background is tinted using  pixel  values  of
	      the tiled image, as a tint values on per-pixel basis.

       133    Each  pixel  of underlying desktop background has value of tiled
	      image's pixel added to it.

       134    Each pixel of underlying desktop background has value  of	 tiled
	      image's pixel subtracted from it.

       135    Result consists of pixels representing absolute value of differ‐
	      ence between underlying desktop background and tiled image.

       136    Underlying desktop background is darkened	 using	luminocity  of
	      the tiled image's pixels.

       137    Underlying  desktop  background is lightened using luminocity of
	      the tiled image's pixels.

       138    Underlying desktop background is "screened" by the tiled image.

       139    Underlying desktop background is "overlayed" by the tiled image.

       140    Underlying desktop background's hue is substituted with the  hue
	      of the tiled image.

       141    Underlying  desktop  background's saturation is substituted with
	      the saturation of the tiled image.

       142    Underlying desktop background's value  (in  HSV  colorspace)  is
	      substituted with the value of the tiled image.

       143    Underlying desktop background is "colorized" by the tiled image.

       144    Underlying  desktop  background  is  "dissipated"	 by  the tiled
	      image.

       149    Underlying desktop background is tinted/shaded  with  the	 color
	      specified with the second parameter. It differs from 129 so that
	      desktop background could be both	darkened  and  brightened.  If
	      tint  color  channel  is	greater	 the  7F  (127 decimal) - then
	      respective channel of background will be brightened.

       150 - 164
	      Same as 130-144 but specified image is scaled to the size of the
	      widget.

       BlurSize

	      FIXME: add proper description here.

       DrawTextBackground [ 0|1 ]

	      Specifies	 that  the area behind text drawn in this style should
	      be cleared to BackColor . The argument is optional. If the argu‐
	      ment  is	0,  this  option is turned off; if it is omitted or is
	      nonzero, the option is turned on.

       Font font

	      Specifies the font associated with this style. font copuld beei‐
	      ther  a standard X11 font definition, or a filename of the True‐
	      Type font that could be found in FontPath. To specify  the  size
	      of the TrueType font - use format like that : FontName.ttf-Size.

	      Example :
		   Font	 DefaultSans.ttf-14

       ForeColor color

	      Specifies	 the  text  color associated with this style. color is
	      color definition in one of the color formats supported by After‐
	      Step.

       Inherit " style_name "

	      Specifies	 a  MyStyle  to	 inherit  options  from.  Options from
	      style_name will override previously specified options  for  this
	      style.  Inherit  is  a good way to save memory and network band‐
	      width if the same BackPixmap is used for several styles, as  the
	      pixmap will only be loaded for the inherited style.

       MyStyle " style_name "

		style_option

       ~MyStyle

	      Specifies	 the  beginning	 of a look style definition. The style
	      can be referred to later by style_name . ~MyStyle	 ends  a  look
	      style definition.

       Overlay

	      FIXME: add proper description here.

       SliceXEnd val

	      When  used  with	scalable  BackPixmap it will make image sliced
	      instead  scaled.	Which  means  that  its	 borders  will	remain
	      unchanged,  but  center part will get tiled to fill empty space.
	      SliceXEnd is the left edge of the right border.

       SliceXStart val

	      When used with scalable BackPixmap it  will  make	 image	sliced
	      instead  scaled.	Which  means  that  its	 borders  will	remain
	      unchanged, but center part will get tiled to fill	 empty	space.
	      SliceXStart is the width of the left border.

       SliceYEnd val

	      When  used  with	scalable  BackPixmap it will make image sliced
	      instead  scaled.	Which  means  that  its	 borders  will	remain
	      unchanged,  but  center part will get tiled to fill empty space.
	      SliceYEnd is the top edge of the bottom border.

       SliceYStart val

	      When used with scalable BackPixmap it  will  make	 image	sliced
	      instead  scaled.	Which  means  that  its	 borders  will	remain
	      unchanged, but center part will get tiled to fill	 empty	space.
	      SliceYStart is the height of the top border.

       TextStyle style

	      Specifies	 the  text style associated with this style. style can
	      be 0, 1, or 2:

	      0: normal text
	      1: embossed 3D text
	      2: sunken 3D text
	      3: text has shade above the text
	      4: text has shade below the text
	      5: thick embossed 3D text
	      6: thick sunken 3D text
	      7: text is outlined with contrasting color on upper edge of a glyph.
	      8: text is outlined with contrasting color on bottom edge of a glyph.
	      9: text is outlined with contrasting color all around a glyph.

DESCRIPTION
       MyStyle 's are the means to define how widgets (menu items,  titlebars,
       wharf  buttons,	Pager  desktops, etc. ) should be rendered. It defines
       widget's background (solid color, gradient, textured image and/or semi‐
       transparent texture), shape - making widget non-rectangular, text font,
       text 3D style, widget's border bevel colors.

       All the GUI elements are rendered using consistent  approach  in	 every
       module  and  every  part	 of  the AfterStep. Interface is build from so
       called TBars. TBar is rectangular area that may be focused(hilited)  or
       unfocused  and  pressed or unpressed.  TBAR STRUCTURE Each TBar has the
       following structure :

       - the background of the TBar, which is defined by MyStyle and state  of
       the  bar	 -  there  are	two  MyStyles  assigned to each TBar - one for
       focused and one for unfocused state.

       - tiles of the TBar. Tiles are  smaller	features  that	gets  arranged
       inside  the  bar	 according to its size, alignment, position and order.
       Tiles could be static icons ( cannot be pressed ); blocks of buttons  -
       each  having  two shapes - pressed and normal; Text labels; Empty space
       tiles. There could be upto 256 tiles, each residing on one of the cells
       in  8x8	grid. Several tiles could reside in single cell, in which case
       they get superimposed on top of each other.

       - bevel of the TBar. When TBar is rendered all of its tiles are	super‐
       imposed	on  top	 of its background, and resulting image will have a 3D
       bevel drawn on it, using colors from same MyStyle  as  used  for	 back‐
       ground.	Bevel  could be switched off partially or entirely. Respective
       configuration options has been added where appropriate.	When  TBar  is
       pressed	- its bevel is inverted.  TBAR RENDERING When TBar is rendered
       all of its elements gets superimposed on top of each other using one of
       13 blending methods supported by libAfterImage, with default being sim‐
       ple alphablending. See MyFrame configuration for more details. This  is
       refrred to as "Composition Method".
