Asmail comes with Afterstep and is a biff-clone that shows up when new mail has arrived. Asmail is NOT strictly a part of AfterStep! (As well as the other AS apps). I just mention it here, because it's config file remains in ~/G/L/A/. It is a nice app that fits good into the AS envoirement, so itīs addapted to it. The original comments should be enough to understand, but I will also try to explain. If you want to use another pixmap you only need enough 48x48 (pixels) pixmaps that will give you a smooth animation. Each of this pixmap need to have a transparent pixel (see AS FAQ). |
