✨ NAME ✨

MyBackground — the whole entire lore of how your background is gonna get rendered, bestie 💅

🎀 CONFIGURATION OPTIONS 🎀

okay so here's every knob you can twist. no skips, we're doing all of them 🫶

• Align [type] — this one lines up the resulting image according to type. the possible values are, and I quote the vibe exactly:
  • 1: — align to the right of the screen
  • 2: — align to the bottom of the screen
  • 3: — align to the bottom-right of the screen
  • 0 or 4: — align to the center of the screen

heads up bestie: this option only does anything when it's paired with the Pad option below. they're a package deal, fr fr.

• Cut "geometry" — cuts a lil piece out of the source image using the geometry you specify. snip snip ✂️
• MyBackground "background_name" — yeah she's naming herself, iconic.
• background_option — the options that live inside the definition. (iykyk)
• ~MyBackground — this marks the beginning of a background definition. the background can be referred to later on by background_name, so you can just summon it whenever. and ~MyBackground is also what ends a root background definition. it's giving both ends of the vibe 🌈
• Pad [type color] — if your image is smaller than the screen, this pads it out with the color you picked. the possible type values are:
  • 1: — pad horizontally and tile vertically
  • 2: — pad vertically and tile horizontally
  • 3: — pad both vertically and horizontally to make the image the size of the screen
• Scale [geometry] — scales the image to the geometry you specify. and if you just... don't give it a geometry? the image gets scaled to the screen size. no geometry, no problem 💖
• Tint color — tints it. that's the whole bit.
• Use type "data" — this specifies what actually gets used as the root background. the possible type values are:
  • 0: — load image from the file. in that case "data" should specify the filename.
  • 1: — use a MyStyle definition to fill the root. in that case "data" should specify one of the MyStyle names defined in your look file.
  • 2: — use an external application to set the root background. "data" should specify the command line options to this external app. and listen — if you wanna use another application to display the root background, you need to set the "--with-imageloader" flag to use that application, then recompile AfterStep. yeah, recompile. I said what I said 😭

NOTE, and this one matters: the remaining Background options are valid only for type of 0 !!! like, only 0. don't come for me when the others do nothing 💀

The remaining options will perform transformations on the source image, and they happen in this exact order — order is not a suggestion, bestie:

Cut->Tint->Scale->Align->Pad.
