<TD VALIGN=TOP><A NAME=".label"></A><TT>.label</TT>&nbsp;
</TD>

<TD VALIGN=TOP><TT>.Label</TT>
<BR><I>String</I>&nbsp;
</TD>

<TD VALIGN=TOP>The label is the text that XBanner draws on the root window.
It may be any text. All text is drawn on one line.&nbsp;
<BR>
<BR>You can use double-quotes (e.g. <TT>" "</TT>) for leading spaces.&nbsp;
<BR>
<BR>Also, you can use environment variables within the label. Use <TT>$VAR_NAME</TT>
or <TT>${VAR_NAME}</TT> to insert environment variable values into the
label. To get a single <TT>$</TT> sign, use <TT>$$</TT>.&nbsp;
<BR>
<BR>Command-line: <TT>-label</TT>.&nbsp;

<TD VALIGN=TOP><A NAME=".effect"></A><TT>.effect</TT>&nbsp;

<TD VALIGN=TOP><TT>.Effect</TT>
<BR><I>Keyword</I>&nbsp;
</TD>

<TD VALIGN=TOP>The graphics rendering to be done on the text of <TT>.label</TT>.
<BR>Command-line: <TT>-effect</TT>. This is a <A HREF="#keyword">keyword</A>
resource.&nbsp;
<BR>Valid values:&nbsp;

<DL>
<DT>
<A NAME="3D-Shadow"></A><TT>3D-Shadow</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
Take <TT><A HREF="#Shadowed-Outline">Shadowed-Outline</A></TT>, and
use it for both the main text and its shadows. You can use <TT><A HREF="#.shadows">.shadows</A></TT>
to control the number of shadows. The outline for the "shadows" is chosen
by <TT><A HREF="#.shadowColor">.shadowColor</A></TT>.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="Backlight"></A><TT>Backlight</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
The text is outlined with 1-pixel outlines, colored along a color-gradient.
Use <TT><A HREF="#.thickness">.thickness</A></TT> to select number of outlines,
and <TT><A HREF="#.backlightGrad">.backlightGrad</A></TT> for the gradient.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="Coin"></A><TT>Coin</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
This is very much like <TT><A HREF="#StandOut">StandOut</A></TT> but
it has the first few pixels closest to the text with oposite colors, creating
a sort of a rim resembling the rim of a coin.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="Fade"></A><TT>Fade</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
This effect is very much like the <TT><A HREF="#Thick">Thick</A></TT>
effect, only that here the pixels of the thickness of the text change along
a color-gradient. If you select the color gradient such that the furthest
color from the text is the same color as the background, it seems as if
the text fades into the background. Use <TT><A HREF="#.fadeGrad">.fadeGrad</A></TT>
to select the color gradient.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="FatText"></A><TT>FatText</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
The outlines are like in <TT><A HREF="#Backlight">Backlight</A></TT>,
but go into the letters, causing them to look fat if the colors are properly
selected. Use <TT><A HREF="#.thickness">.thickness</A></TT> to select number
of "out"lines, and <TT><A HREF="#.fatTextGrad">.fatTextGrad</A></TT> for
the gradient.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="FgGrad"></A><TT>FgGrad</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
This is like <TT><A HREF="#Shadow">Shadow</A></TT> but the pixels of
the text are colored along a color gradient from the top line of pixels
to the bottom. Use <TT><A HREF="#.fgGradGrad">.fgGradGrad</A></TT> to select
the color gradient for this effect.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="FgPlasma"></A><TT>FgPlasma</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
The text is seen to be like a window into an area filled with a PlasmaCloud.
Use <TT><A HREF="#.fgPlasmaNCol">.fgPlasmaNCol</A></TT> to select number
of colors for the PlasmaCloud. The color gradient of the PlasmaCloud can
be selected with <TT><A HREF="#.fgPlasmaGrad">.fgPlasmaGrad</A></TT>, and
the graininess factor for the <TT>FgPlasma</TT> effect can be set with
<TT><A HREF="#.fgPlasmaGrain">.fgPlasmaGrain</A></TT>.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="FunnyOutline"></A><TT>FunnyOutline</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
Like taking a marker and coloring the outermost line of the letters
from the inside. Only wide parts of the font keep their original color,
and the outcome is somewhat like an outline. Here the <TT><A HREF="#.hiColor">.hiColor</A></TT>
resource selects the outline color.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="None"></A><TT>None</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
No effect. Text is drawn as it is.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="Outline"></A><TT>Outline</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
Text appears with an outline. Use the <TT><A HREF="#.hiColor">.hiColor</A></TT>
resource to select the color of the outline.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="Popart"></A><TT>PopArt</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
The text is surrounded by 1-pixel wide outlines with their colors alternating
between <TT><A HREF="#.hiColor">.hiColor</A></TT> and <TT><A HREF="#.shadowColor">.shadowColor</A></TT>.
The number of outlines is selected by the <TT><A HREF="#.thickness">.thickness</A></TT>
resource.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="Shadow"></A><TT>Shadow</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
Simple shadow under the text. Use <TT><A HREF="#.shadowColor">.shadowColor</A></TT>.
Use <TT><A HREF="#.shadowXOffset">.shadowXOffset</A></TT> and <TT><A HREF="#.shadowYOffset">.shadowYOffset</A></TT>
to control location of the shadow under the text.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="Shadowed-Outline"></A><TT>Shadowed-Outline</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
Combination of <TT><A HREF="#Shadow">Shadow</A></TT> and <TT><A HREF="#Outline">Outline</A></TT>.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="Shake"></A><TT>Shake</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
Lines of pixels in the same color as the text are drawn at 3 pixels
and 6 pixels above the text giving it a sense of shaking. This can create
the infamous "NERVOUS? TENSE? TIRED?" sign.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="StandOut"></A><TT>StandOut</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
The text seems to have a frame like that of Motif buttons, with shading
which makes it stand out of the surrounding background. The upper and left
sides are colored by <TT><A HREF="#.hiColor">.hiColor</A></TT> and the
bottom and right sides are colored by <TT><A HREF="#.shadowColor">.shadowColor</A></TT>.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="StandIn"></A><TT>StandIn</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
This is like <TT><A HREF="#StandOut">StandOut</A></TT> but with the
colors inverted.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="StandOut2"></A><TT>StandOut2</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
Same as <TT><A HREF="#StandOut">StandOut</A></TT> but the effect is
rendered into the letters, rather than outside. This is great for unspaced
text.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="StandIn2"></A><TT>StandIn2</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
Same as <TT><A HREF="#StandIn">StandIn</A></TT> but the effect is rendered
into the letters, rather than outside. This is great for unspaced text.&nbsp;</DD>

<DT>
<A NAME="Thick"></A><TT>Thick</TT>&nbsp;</DT>

<DD>
Like <TT><A HREF="#Outline">Outline</A></TT> but instead of a shadow,
the letters have a visible thickness. Use <TT><A HREF="#.thickness">.thickness</A></TT>
to control thickness of letters in pixels.&nbsp;</DD>

a lot if you want to run XBanner behind a Chooser window for XDMCP over
to X-Terminals and such. Since the Chooser will open the display after

<TD VALIGN=TOP>This is a <A HREF="#boolean">boolean</A> resource telling
XBanner to redraw any areas of the screen that become uncovered. When you
succeed in logging in, the login-box disappears, and leaves an empty rectangle
until your X login sequence fills the screen with something else. This
feature is also probably necessary if you wish to use the moving XDM3D
(which moves the login-box randomly every few seconds, ala Windows-NT).
You must use the '<B><TT>freetemp</TT></B>' utility if you use this.&nbsp;
<BR><B>Important limitation:</B> If you are running XBanner twice (e.g. for
2 lines) then you must not let the first invocation of XBanner handle expose
events, since this will cause unexpected results!

<A NAME="prgclass"></A>Program Class Name Hints</H3></CENTER>
The program class is <TT>XBanner</TT>, and the program name is the name
of the binary. This means that if you make a link to <TT>xbanner</TT> and
call it <TT>mybanner</TT> then you can use two resources like:

<PRE>mybanner.thickness:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9
XBanner.thickness:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5</PRE>
<CENTER>and when you run <TT>xbanner</TT>, you will get a thickness of 5, but if
you run it as <TT>mybanner</TT> the thickness will be 9!</CENTER>

<A NAME="outline_effects"></A>Outline Effects - Detailed Information</H3></CENTER>
All outline effects use the <TT><A HREF="#.surroundMin">.surroundMin</A></TT>
and <TT><A HREF="#.surroundMax">.surroundMax</A></TT> resources. But you
can set both of them together using their common class name - <TT><A HREF="#.Surround">XBanner.Surround</A></TT>.
In general, the outlining is done by drawing the text in the shadow color
first a bit to the left and up, and work your way on all the directions.
This means that if <TT><A HREF="#.surroundMin">.surroundMin</A></TT> is
-1, <TT><A HREF="#.surroundMax">.surroundMax</A></TT> is 2, and the text
should be placed at some <TT>X,Y</TT> location, the outline will be drawn
at:

<PRE>(X-1,Y-1), (X,Y-1), (X+1,Y-1), (X+2,Y-1), (X-1,Y), . . . , (X+2,y+2).</PRE>
<CENTER>This was done mainly because I wanted to enable unbalanced outlines on
the axis going from top-left to down-right. This does not pertain to the
<TT><A HREF="#FunnyOutline">FunnyOutline</A></TT> effect.</CENTER>

Information</H3></CENTER>
<CENTER>The <TT><A HREF="#.underlined">.underlined</A></TT> resource is a <TT><A HREF="#boolean">boolean</A></TT>
that enables underlining of the text drawn by XBanner. You can choose a
color name / RGB and set it with the <TT><A HREF="#.underlineColor">.underlineColor</A></TT>
resource, but the best is to set this to <TT>FGC</TT> which is a special
keyword. XBanner recognizes this special name and uses the FG color for
the underline. This means that the effects will get rendered on the underline
as well. You can choose the line thickness with the <TT><A HREF="#.underlineThickness">.underlineThickness</A></TT>
resource.</CENTER>

<A NAME="rootimg"></A>Images On The Root Window</H3></CENTER>
Currently, only pixmap files are supported. I plan to add <TT>.GIF</TT>
support, for <TT>GIF89a</TT> version, since this version (like <TT>.XPM</TT>)
has an option to specify a transparent color. The pixmap pasted on the
screen uses the <TT>None</TT> color specification in the pixmap file. You
can also use an image to be tiled over the entire root window. See the
<A HREF="#bgpix">BgPix</A> background style.
<CENTER><BR></CENTER>
<CENTER>I have supplied a version of Larry Ewing's Penguin Linux Logo in <TT>.XPM</TT>
format with the background set to <TT>None</TT> so it is useable with XBanner!
Another version with a colormap reduced to 32 colors is also supported.
See the demo for the use of pixmaps.</CENTER>

<A NAME="as-h4-680611"></A>Notes And Explanations Of Different
Types Of Resources</H3></CENTER>

<OL>
<LI>
<A NAME="numeric"></A><FONT COLOR="#0000DA">Numeric</FONT> resources
are integer numbers.</LI>

<LI>
<A NAME="float"></A><FONT COLOR="#0000DA">Float</FONT> resources are
simple notation floating-point numbers. Use XX.YY notation only.</LI>

<LI>
<A NAME="boolean"></A><FONT COLOR="#0000DA">Boolean</FONT> resources
are also not case-sensitive and can accept the values: <TT>True, False,
Yes, No, On, Off, 1, 0</TT>. It should be noted that if you use <TT>-file</TT>
to load a resource file, and that resource file specifies a certain boolean
value, then you can override it with another commandline option. Hence
using <TT>-bgstyle None</TT> will definitely make XBanner not render any
background.</LI>

<LI>
<A NAME="keyword"></A><FONT COLOR="#0000DA">Keyword</FONT> resources
are not case sensitive. Using <TT>XBanner.effect: fgplasma</TT> is the
same as using <TT>XBanner.effect: FgPlasma</TT>. This is true for the keywords
to command-line switches as well: <TT>-effect Coin</TT> is the same as
<TT>-effect COIN</TT>. (Be careful, the switches themselves ARE case sensitive
in Unix, so <TT>-Effect</TT> is not <TT>-effect</TT>!).</LI>

<LI>
<A NAME="keyword_list"></A><FONT COLOR="#0000DA">Keyword lists</FONT>
are simply a comma-separated list of keywords. Some resources take this
type of value, like <TT><A HREF="#.cycleColors">.cycleColors</A></TT>.</LI>

<LI>
<A NAME="color_res"></A><FONT COLOR="#0000DA">Color</FONT> resources
are simply a name of a color, or a color RGB representation. You can use
either <TT>#RRGGBB</TT> or <TT>#RRRRGGGGBBBB</TT>.</LI>

<LI>
<A NAME="color_grad"></A><FONT COLOR="#0000DA">Color gradients</FONT>
are simply a comma-separated list of <A HREF="#color_res">color</A> resources.
The limit is currently 8 colors per gradient and can be changed through
editing <TT>xbanner.h</TT> and changing the <TT>MAX_COLORS_PER_GRAD</TT>
definition. Here's an example:</LI>
<BR><TT>XBanner.BgGrad: Red,#00C276,Blue,Green,#000010AC5F42</TT>&nbsp;
