base.xxbpp:

General
The base files will set the paths for the different color depths. Different color depths because the directories will be searched in the order listed in this file, so if you got an icon for wharf named "foo.xpm" in /usr/local/share/afterstep/desktop/icons/16bpp/ and the same in /8bpp/ (with reduced colors) you should let AS search in 8bpp first when you use 8bpp and in 16bpp first when you use 16bpp. If you want to use icons from other window-managers you can add the path to the icons in this file too.
The desktop entries may be a bit confusing in this file. Here you can change how many desktops your pager should have (I got 2 horizontal and 2 vertical 2x2) also you can define the scale of the pager, that means how big the pager itself will be. If you use a scale of 40 and swallow 1 pager into the wharf, there will be a border around it, if you use a scale of 32 the pager will be 64x64 and fit into the wharf without a border.
