AKWARP(1) Manual Page

akwarp [-h] [-v] [-pws <geometry>] [-nws <geometry>] [-t <timeout>]

if the mousepointer enters one of either nextworkspace-area or prevworkspacearea and stay there for longer than a given activation_time, akwarp will change to the next/prev workspace, using ewmh_standards… which means you need an ewmh-compatible windowmanager (eg fluxbox)

mouseposition is checked at ~ 25fps, that should be good enough

to build akwarp just enter

$> gmake

if you want shading support for akwarp enter

$> gmake xrender

if you want use some shape-file for the buttons:

$> gmake xshape

and for a combination of shaded and shaped buttons:

$> gmake xrender-xshape

to install akwarp enter:

$> gmake install

-h

displays help

-v

displays version

-pws <geometry>

define area for "previous workspace", default is 10xheight+0+0

-nws <geometry>

define area for "next workspace", default is 10xheight-10+0

-b

show buttons

-c <color>

color the buttons with <color>, default is "white"

-s <int>

shade the buttons, default is 0 aka no shading, only available if compiled with shade-support.

-t <time>

define timeout as float

-spws <file>

use given <file> in bitmap-format for prev button, only available if compiled with shape-support.

-snew <file>

use given <file> in bitmap-format for next button, only available if compiled with shape-support.

see XParseGeometry(3) for details about <geometry>

Use bottomleft.xbm and bottomright.xbm as shapefiles, shade them 50% red, put them into the lower left and lower right corner of the screen and wait until the mouse was at least 5 seconds above the regions specified:

$> akwarp -b -c red -s 50 -spws bottomleft.xbm -pws 32x32+0-32 -snws bottomright.xbm -nws 32x32-32-32 -t 5
