About OpenBeOS Workspaces with arguments:
OpenBeOS's Workspaces with enhancements. Ability to disable title, border, and force accept first click by using command line arguments.

This is a modified version of OpenBeOS's Workspaces (from CVS date: 12/28/03).
Created by François Revol , Michael "Minox" Paine, Axel Dörfler, & Robert Polic.
License: MIT -- same as OpenBeOS.

Running Workspaces without argument (as from the Deskbar or Tracker) will produce a normal stock Workspaces, display titlebar, border, and not accepting first click. In addition, you can run Workspaces from the command line (Terminal or shell script) with arguments to tweak it's look and feel to your liking.

--notitle : No Titlebar. Retains resizeable border. accepts first click
--noborder : No Titlebar and no resizeable border. does not accept first click
--acceptfirstclick : Workspaces will always switch on first click
--avoidfocus : Prevents the window from being the target of keyboard events.
--alwaysontop : Keeps window on top
--help : Display this help and exit
--version : Output version information and exit

example Workspaces --noborder --acceptfirstclick &

Maintains position in relation to closest screen edge, even when moving across Workspaces with differing resolutions.


NOTE: This is provided for the benefit of the community. Esp., those who do not yet know how to make these changes themselves. I anxiously look forward to OBOS R1 and in the meantime help where I can. Enjoy!

Variation description:
From OpenBeOS CVS 2004-jan-18. Big THANK YOU to Axel Dörfler who cleaned up the code, fixed some bugs, and put it CVS.

Details about this version:
Due to an incompatibility I introduced with previous versions of Workspaces, deleting /boot/home/config/settings/Workspace_data and /boot/home/config/settings/Workspace_resolution is recommended (only needs to be done once).

Also, WorkspacesPreferences::WorkspacesPreferences() is slightly modified, as I experienced Workspaces being drawn offscreen when no Workspace_data file is present.
