GKrellMMS: GKrellM XMMS Plugin

Little Themes Documentation for the GKrellMMS version for GKrellM 2.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The XMMS buttons can be themed with images in a "gkrellmms" subdirectory
of your theme.  The button images can be made in one of two formats.
You can make the button out/clicked in one image with the button
out image on top of the button clicked image.  These images should be
named:

    gkrellmms/prev_button.png
    gkrellmms/play_button.png
    gkrellmms/next_button.png
    gkrellmms/stop_button.png
    gkrellmms/eject_button.png

Or, you can make the images in the style used for GKrellM 1.2.x themes.
For these, the button out and button clicked images are drawn in
separate image files named:

    gkrellmms/prev.png
    gkrellmms/prev_clicked.png
    gkrellmms/play_pause.png
    gkrellmms/play_pause_clicked.png
    gkrellmms/stop.png
    gkrellmms/stop_clicked.png
    gkrellmms/next.png
    gkrellmms/next_clicked.png
    gkrellmms/eject.png
    gkrellmms/eject_clicked.png

The LED can also be themed with a vertical stack of four LEDs called:

    gkrellmms/led_indicator.png

where the vertical led frames are:
    0: led off state
    1: Briefly blinked on when xmms is running but playing is stopped.
    2: Briefly blinked off when xmms is running and playing is paused.
    3: On when xmms is running and playing.

Of course the images can have other extensions.
You can make the images in the formats: xpm, png, and jpg.

The default button positioning will be according to the button layout
used for GKrellM 1.2.x themes.  However, this version allows all buttons
and the xmms label and the LED to be positioned anywhere.  To do this,
set these values in the gkrellmrc (the example numbers here are similar
to the default theme):

set_string gkrellmms_play_button_position "-27 4 0 0 c"
set_string gkrellmms_prev_button_position "-25 20 0 0 c"
set_string gkrellmms_stop_button_position "-13 21 0 0 c"
set_string gkrellmms_next_button_position "9 20 0 0 c"
set_string gkrellmms_eject_button_position "17 12 0 0 c"
set_string gkrellmms_led_position "7 7 c"
set_string gkrellmms_label_position "-25 7 c"

The string format for buttons is: "x y w h anchor"
    where x is pixels offset from an anchor point
          y is pixels offset from top of the panel
          w is width to scale the button to, or zero to use the drawn width
          h is height to scale the button to, or zero to use the drawn height

The string format for led_position and label_position is: "x y anchor"
The x,y positions for the buttons, led, and label places the top left corner.

In all cases, the anchor can be l, c, or r:
          l places the object x pixels to the right of the left panel edge
          c places the object x pixels from the center of the panel
          r places the object x pixels to the left of the right panel edge
x values for l and r should be positive, but may be negative for c.

In case you don't want any button panel at all use:
  set_integer gkrellmms_show_buttons 0  

-----------

In addition to the above button images in the gkrellmms theme
subdirectory, there can be a separate background set for the scrolling
title:

       gkrellmms/bg_scroll.png

There can also be optional top and bottom spacer images that go above the
scrolling title panel and below the button bar panel:

       gkrellmms/bg_spacer_top.png
       gkrellmms/bg_spacer_bottom.png

And GKrellMMS theme parameters that can be set in a theme gkrellmrc are,
(these are similar to the values used in the default theme):

# Settings for the scrolling title panel:
       StyleMeter gkrellmms.alt_textcolor = black #dcdccc shadow
# If there is a separate bg_scroll image:
       set_image_border gkrellmms_bg_scroll 3,3,2,2
# Set margins around the scrolling text.  This panel uses extensions to the
# base GKrellMMS style settings and these extensions are implemented
# using set_integer:
       set_integer gkrellmms_scroll_margin 2
       set_integer gkrellmms_scroll_top_margin 2
       set_integer gkrellmms_scroll_bottom_margin 1

# Settings for the button bar panel.  These all use the base
# GKrellMMS style and are set in the standard way:
       StyleMeter gkrellmms.textcolor = #ffeac4 #000000 shadow
       StyleMeter gkrellmms.border = 2,2,4,0
       StyleMeter gkrellmms.margins = 2,2,2,0
