+NAME
+----
+fluxstyle - A comprehensive look at styles/themes for fluxbox(1).
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+What is a Style?
+
+Styles, sometimes referred to as Themes, are a graphical overlay for the
+fluxbox(1) window manager. If you wanted to get to know fluxbox, the styles
+would be the 'look' of the 'look and feel'.
+
+Styles are simple ASCII text files that tell fluxbox(1) how to generate the
+appearance of different components of the window manager. The default
+installation of fluxbox(1) is shipped with many classic examples that show a
+great deal of what one could do. To use one of the standard styles navigate to
+the 'System Styles' menu under your main fluxbox(1) menu.
+
+fluxbox(1) uses its own graphics class to render its images on the fly. By
+using styles you can determine, at a great level of configurability, what your
+desktop will look like. Since fluxbox(1) was derived from blackbox many often
+wonder if old themes will work on the latest releases of fluxbox(1). Well they
+basically do, but you will have to tune them since the fluxbox(1) code has
+changed quite a bit since the initial grab.
+
+STRUCTURE
+---------
+A style is made up of a few major components which then have their own
+sub-directives. The major components are as follows:
+
+The 'window.\*' directives control the appearance of the window frames,
+window.tab.* controls the appearance of the window tabs, 'menu.\*' controls
+the appearance of the popup menu that you see when you right click on the
+desktop. 'toolbar.\*' is the bar you will see at the top or bottom of your
+screen. Finally the 'slit.\*' has options you can use to customize the
+appearance of the slit. However if you don't set the slit directives
+specifically, the slit's appearance is controlled by the toolbar
+directives instead.
+
+To understand how the style mechanism works, it is nice to know a little about
+how X11 resources work. X11 resources consist of a key and a value. The key is
+constructed of several smaller keys (sometimes referred to as children),
+delimited by a period (.). Keys may also contain an asterisk (\*)
+to serve as a wildcard, which means that one line of text will match
+several keys. This is useful for styles that are based on one or two
+colors.
+
+A more complete reference to this can be found in X(7), section 'RESOURCES'.
+
+LOCATION
+--------
+There are many places to store your styles, the most common is in your
+'~/.fluxbox/styles' directory. The initial installation will place the default
+styles in '/usr/share/fluxbox/styles' providing a basic usable configuration.
+
+When creating your own style, create a directory (normally the name of your
+style) in '~/.fluxbox/styles/' (If the 'styles' directory doesn't exist,
+create that also). While there isn't an official structure, it is
+common to create a directory named after your style and place your
+pixmaps directory (if required) in there along with a file called
+theme.cfg (may also be named style.cfg). This file is where you will
+construct your style using the components covered later in this manual
+page. An example of steps taken when beginning a style project of your
+own may look like:
+
+    $ cd
+    $ mkdir -p ~/.fluxbox/styles/YourStyle/pixmaps
+    $ cd ~/.fluxbox/styles/YourStyle
+    $ nano theme.cfg
+
+Output of a packaged style should look like the following:
+
+    $ cd
+    $ tar -tjvf YourStyle.tar.bz2
+     .fluxbox/styles/YourStyle/theme.cfg
+     .fluxbox/styles/YourStyle/pixmaps
+     .fluxbox/styles/YourStyle/pixmaps/stick.xpm
+     ...
+
+Of course, all of these are just preferences, fluxbox(1) allows for the
+customization of many things, including how you handle your styles. Just
+remember, however, that if you plan to distribute your style you may find
+some community bickering if you don't follow practices. :)
+
+CREATING YOUR STYLE
+-------------------
+As discussed above, fluxbox(1) allows you to configure its four main components:
+the toolbar, menus, slit and window decorations. Remember that you can
+customize the slit with its own directives, otherwise the slit will take the
+appearance of the toolbar.
+
+Here are some quick examples to illustrate basic syntax:
+
+    toolbar.clock.color: green
+
+This sets the color resource of the toolbar clock to 'green'. Another example:
+
+    menu*color:     rgb:3/4/5
+
+This sets the color resource of the menu and all of its 'children' to
+`rgb:3/4/5'. (For a description of color names, see X(1).) So this one also
+applies to 'menu.title.color' and 'menu.frame.color'. And with
+
+    *font:  -b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*
+
+you set the font resource for all keys to this font name all at once (For
+information about the fonts installed on your system, you can use a
+program like xfontsel(1), gtkfontsel, or xlsfonts(1).)
+
+In the last example you will notice the wildcard (\*) before font. In a Fluxbox
+style you can set a value with a wildcard. The example means that every font
+in the style will be what is specified. You can do this with any
+component/value. For example if you wanted all of the text to be one color you
+would do:
+
+    *textColor:  rgb:3/4/5
+
+This means that you can setup a very simple style with very few properties.
+See the EXAMPLES below for an example of this in practice. fluxbox(1) also allows
+you to override wildcards in your style. Lets take our example above and add
+an override for the toolbar.clock.textColor component:
+
+    *textColor: rgb:3/4/5
+    toolbar.clock.textColor: rgb:255/0/0
+
+With that all of the text will be 'rgb:3/4/5' except the toolbar clock text
+which will be 'rgb:255/0/0'.
+
+Now what makes fluxbox(1) so spectacular is its ability to render textures on the
+fly. A texture is a fillpattern that you see on some styles. Texture
+descriptions are specified directly to the key that they should apply to,
+e.g.:
+
+    toolbar.clock:  Raised Gradient Diagonal Bevel1
+    toolbar.clock.color:    rgb:8/6/4
+    toolbar.clock.colorTo:  rgb:4/3/2
+
+Don't worry, we will explain what these mean. A texture description consists
+of up to five fields, which are as follows:
+
+.Flat | Raised | Sunken
+gives the component either a flat, raised or sunken appearance.
+
+.Gradient | Solid
+tells fluxbox(1) to draw either a solid color or a gradient texture.
+
+.Horizontal | Vertical | Diagonal | Crossdiagonal | Pipecross | Elliptic | Rectangle | Pyramid
+Select one of these texture types. They only work when *Gradient* is specified.
+
+.Interlaced
+tells fluxbox(1) to interlace the texture (darken every other line). This option
+is most commonly used with gradiented textures, but it also works in solid
+textures.
+
+.Bevel1 | Bevel2
+tells fluxbox(1) which type of bevel to use. Bevel1 is the default bevel. The
+shading is placed on the edge of the image. Bevel2 is an alternative. The
+shading is placed one pixel in from the edge of the image.
+
+Instead of a texture description, also the option *ParentRelative* is available,
+which makes the component appear as a part of its parent, e.g. totally
+transparent.
+
+Or for even more possibilities Pixmap. If pixmap texture is specified (it
+might not be necessary on every occasion) the pixmap file is specified
+in a separate pixmap resource.
+
+    toolbar.clock: pixmap
+    toolbar.clock.pixmap: clock_background.xpm
+
+This feature might need some investigation, reports say that sometimes the
+resources color and colorTo must be set and then they may not be set.
+
+All gradiented textures are composed of two color values: the 'color' and
+'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:
+
+   menu.title.font: sans-8:bold,shadow
+
+The latest versions of fluxbox(1) (> 0.9.8) also support different values for
+these text options.  The  possibilities  are  as  follows:
+
+   --------
+   Shadow color=<colorname> offsetx=<integer> offsety=<integer> Halo color=<colorâ\u20acname>
+   --------
+
+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.
+
+FONT PROBLEMS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+If you have problems installing fonts or getting them to work, you should read
+the docs page at xfree.org. Here is a link to one of these:
+http://xfree.org/4.3.0/fonts2.html#3[]
+
+FULL COMPONENT LIST
+-------------------
+Here is the exhaustive component list for fluxbox(1) styles. Each one is listed
+with their type of value required. Comments in a style file are preceded
+with an exclamation point (!) which we also use here so that these can be
+pasted into a new theme.cfg to be customized appropiately. Please note that
+in order to keep styles consistent it is  often the practice of stylists
+to provide all of the theme-items in their style file even if they are not
+used. This allows the user the ease of changing different components.

+
+BACKGROUND
+------------
+Rarely are you going to want to use this option. There is a command that is
+similar that is used in the init file. It is bad style to use this in your
+style, as it forces the user to use your background. So note that it is good
+practice to leave this blank or out of the style altogether.
+
+   background: centered|aspect|tiled|fullscreen|random|solid|gradient <texture>
+   background.pixmap: <file (or directory for random)>
+   background.color: <color>
+   background.colorTo: <color>

+   toolbar.workspace.color:        <color>
+   toolbar.workspace.colorTo:      <color>
+   toolbar.workspace.pixmap:       <filename>
+   -----------------------------------------
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+This list may seem intimidating, but remember, when you create your own style
+you can easily set a majority of these keys with a single component. For an
+example of this:
+
+   -----------------------------------------
+   *color: slategrey
+   *colorTo:       darkslategrey
+   *unfocus.color: darkslategrey
+   *unfocus.colorTo:       black
+   *textColor:     white
+   *unfocus.textColor:     lightgrey
+   *font:  lucidasans-10
+   -----------------------------------------
+
+This sets nice defaults for many components.
+
+COLOR FORMATS
+-------------
+These are the color formats for styles:
+
+   #000000 (Hexadecimal)
+   rgb:<0-255>/<0-255>/<0-255>
+
+See /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt for an explaination.
