Configuration file for skippy, a Full Screen Task Switcher for X11

NAME

skippyrc - Configuration file for skippy, a Full Screen Task Switcher for X11

DESCRIPTION

skippy is a program that allows you to manage your windows in an efficient way. It is highly inspired by Apple Expose.

~/.skippyrc is its configuration file.

FORMAT

for each SECTION (see below), you can define the following variables:

keysym
can be anything XStringToKeysym can handle
(like F11, KP_Enter or implementation specific keysyms)

colors
can be anything XAllocNamedColor can handle
(like "black" or "#000000")

distance
a relative number, and is scaled according to the scale
factor applied to windows

fonts
Xft font descriptions

booleans
"true" or anything but "true" (-> false)

opacity
integer in the range of 0-255

brightness
floating point number (with 0.0 as neutral)

SECTIONS

[general] [xinerama] [normal] [highlight] [tooltip]

NOTE

In Debian you can find a copy of the default skippyrc in /usr/share/doc/skippy/examples If no ~/.skippyrc exist, skippy will use /etc/X11/skippy/skippyrc

If you are using the X.org X server, there is a version of skippy, called skippy-xd that makes use of the new XDamage, XComposite and XFixes extensions. I suggest you use the xd version instead.
