Banner - the Banner for Afterstep


SYNOPSIS

       Banner is intended to be spawned by Afterstep.



DESCRIPTION

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



INVOCATION

       Banner can be invoked by binding the action  'Module  Ban-
       ner'  to a menu or key-stroke in the .steprc file.  after-
       step will search directory  specified  in  the  ModulePath
       configuration option to attempt to locate Banner. Although
       nothing keeps you from launching Banner 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.
