<H3><A NAME="s3">3. Configuring the titlebar appearance and action</A></H3>

<P>
<P>With this dialog, you can change the visual appearance 
of the titlebar and partially choose how it acts..
<P>
<P>The <B>Title Alignment</B> selection sets the position of the window
title in the titlebar. The choices are <B>left</B>, <B>middle</B>,
or <B>right</B> (left-justified, centered, or right-justified)
<P>
<P>There is a choice between
four  options for the titlebar <B>Appearance</B>:
<P>
<UL>
<LI> <B>Shaded Vertically</B>: fills the bar with a color gradient from 
top to bottom</LI>
<LI> <B>Shaded Horizontally</B>: fills the bar with a color gradient from side to
side</LI>
<LI> <B>Plain</B>: fills the bar with a simple color</LI>
<LI> <B>Pixmap</B>: allows you to select pixmaps which are 
tiled to fill the
titlebar; in this case click on the <B>Active pixmap</B> and
<B>Inactive pixmap</B> buttons to select different pixmaps for the 
titlebars of active
and inactive windows.  You may also choose not to
extend the pixmap tiling under the text on the titlebar.</LI>
</UL>
<P>If the ``<B>Active title has shaded frame</B>'' box is checked,
the titlebar of the active window has a shadowed,
slightly  three-dimensional
look.
<P>
<P>The <B>Mouse action</B>  section lets you choose what happens when you 
doubleclick
on the titlebar of a window with the left mouse button. 
Possible choices are:
<UL>
<LI><B>(Un)Maximize</B> : double-click to maximize the window, double-click
again to unmaximize.</LI>
<LI><B>(Un)Shade</B>: double-click to hide all parts of the window
except the titlebar, double-click again to restore it (somewhat
like the action of roller-blind window shades).  This
is the default behavior. </LI>
<LI><B>Iconify</B>: Window is shrunk to an entry on the Taskbar.</LI>
<LI><B>(Un)Sticky</B>: double-click to change between ``sticky''
and ``not sticky'' window attribute.</LI>
<LI><B>Close</B>: Window is closed.</LI>
</UL>
<P>
<P>If the  window title is too long to be completely
displayed on the window titlebar, 
the "<B>Title animation</B>" option allows the text to slide
back and forth, so all of the title can be read.
The slider bar controls the period of this motion; setting the period
to 0 switches off this feature.
