'colorTo' resources. When *Interlaced* is used in *Solid* mode, the 'colorTo'
resource is used to find the interlacing color.
A WORD ABOUT FONTS
------------------
We should comment about fonts before we move on to the complete component
list. fluxbox(1) supports different options for text. These options currently
include bold, halo and shadow. To set these do this: fontname-size:options for
any of the font components in the style file. For example:
FONT EFFECTS
------------
In addition to specifying the font-family and the font-weight via the
supported font-rendering-engine (eg, Xft), fluxbox(1) supports some effects:
'halo' and 'shadow'. To set the shadow effect:
menu.title.font: sans-8:bold,shadow
menu.title.font: sans-8:bold
menu.title.effect: shadow
menu.title.shadow.color: green
menu.title.shadow.x: 3
menu.title.shadow.y: 3
The latest versions of fluxbox(1) (> 0.9.8) also support different values for
these text options. The possibilities are as follows:
To set the halo effect:
--------
Shadow color=<colorname> offsetx=<integer> offsety=<integer> Halo color=<colorname>
--------
menu.title.font: sans-8:bold
menu.title.effect: halo
menu.title.halo.color: green
For the case of completeness, here are some real world examples:
*.font: Verdana-10:bold,shadow:offsetx=2;offsety=4;color=green
*.font: Verdana-10:halo:color=blue
Of course this could all be placed on one line. Also note that for the offset
options, negative integers are allowed.
