# Banner-classic(1x)

the Banner for Afterstep-Classic

## NAME

Banner-Classic - the Banner for Afterstep-Classic

## SYNOPSIS

Banner-Classic is intended to be spawned by Afterstep Classic.

## DESCRIPTION

The InitBanner displays an Afterstep Logo in the center of the screen for 3 seconds.

## INVOCATION

Banner-Classic can be invoked by binding the action 'Module Banner' to a menu or key-stroke in the .steprc file.  asclassic will search directory specified in the ModulePath configuration option to attempt to locate Banner. Although nothing keeps you from launching Banner-Classic at start-up time, you probably don't want to.  You can also give it an optional file parameter, like 'Banner doomface.xpm' or spcify an alternate default pixmap via configuration options.

## CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

- \*BannerPixmap *file*

  Tells the module to display *file* instead of the built in pixmap.

- \*BannerTimeout *sec*

  Tells the module to display for *sec* seconds instead of default of 3.
