## Default setting of configuration variables
### Status bar
`Config_showBar=1`
> If false (`=0`), the bar is hidden. It can be made visible or hidden by hotkey
(see below).
`Config_horizontalBarPos=left`
> The horizontal position of the bar: center, left or right side of the monitor
or an offset in pixel (px) from the left (>= 0) or right (< 0).
`Config_verticalBarPos=top`
> The vertical position of the bar: top or bottom of the monitor, tray =
sub-window of the task bar.
`Config_barWidth=100%`
> The width of the bar in pixel (px) or with a per cent sign (%) as a
percentage.
`Config_singleRowBar=1`
> If false, the bar will have to rows, one for the window title and one for all
other GUI controls.
`Config_spaciousBar=0`
> If true, the height of the bar will be set to a value equal to the height of
an edit control, else it will be set to the text height.
`Config_fontName=Lucida Console`
> A monospace font is preferable for bug.n to calculate the correct width of
the bar and its elements (sub-windows).
`Config_fontSize=`
> Font size in pixel. The default value is retrieved from the "Window Color and
Appearance" settings for the "Active Title Bar".
`Config_largeFontSize=24`
> Font size in pixel, i. a. for the numbering of areas in the area trace.
`Config_normBgColor=`
> The normal background color of the following bar elements:
1. inactive views, title and time
2. the layout symbol, the any-text (i. a. date) and the button for the
command GUI (#!).
3. the progress bar indicating a charging or full battery
4. the progress bar indicating a discharging battery with a remaining
charge of less than ten percent
5. the progress bar indicating a charging battery
`Config_normFgColor=`
> The normal foreground color of the following bar elements:
1. the text of inactive views, title and time
2. the text of the layout symbol, a full battery, the any-text (i. a.
date) and the button for the command GUI (#!)

`Config_selBgColor=`
> The background color of a progress bar indicating an active view.
`Config_selFgColor=`
> 1. The text color and
2. the foreground color of a progress bar indicating an active view.
The default color values are retrieved from the "Window Color and Appearance"
settings.
`Config_barTransparency=off`
> The degree of transparency for the bar. Possible values are `off` (no
transparency) or an integer between `0` (fully transparent) and `255` (opaque).
At least on Windows >= 8 with `Config_verticalBarPos=tray` the bar won't be
visible at all, if `Config_barTransparency` is not set to `off`.
`Config_barCommands=Run, explore doc;Monitor_toggleBar();Main_reload();Reload;ExitApp`
> The commands seperated by semicolon, which are listed in the command GUI of
the bar (#!) and therewith can be selected rather then typed; bug.n functions
(as used in the hotkey configuration), the `Run` and `Send` command of
AutoHotkey can be used here.
`Config_readinBat=0`
> If true (`=1`), the system battery status is read in and displayed in the
status bar. This only makes sense, if you have a system battery (notebook).
`Config_readinCpu=0`
> If true (`=1`), the current CPU load is read in and displayed in the status bar.
`Config_readinDate=1`
> If true (`=1`), the current date is read in (format: "WW, DD. MMM. YYYY") and
displayed in the status bar.

which should be monitored, the current network load (up and down) is read in
and displayed in the status bar.
`Config_readinTime=1`
> If true (`=1`), the current time is read in (format: "HH:MM") and displayed in
the status bar.
`Config_readinVolume=0`
> If true (`=1`), the current sound volume is read in
(format: "VOL: <mute> <volume percentage>") and displayed in the status bar.
`Config_readinInterval=30000`
> Time in milliseconds after which the above status values are refreshed.
### Windows ui elements
`Config_bbCompatibility=0`
> If true (`=1`), bug.n looks for BlackBox components (bbLeanBar, bbSlit and
SystemBarEx) when calculating the work area. It is assumed that the virtual
desktop functionality of BlackBox and NOT bug.n is used (=> Hiding and showing
windows is detected and acted upon).
`Config_borderWidth=0`
> If > 0, the window border width is set to the given integer value.
`Config_borderPadding=-1`
> If >= 0, the window border padding is set to the given integer value (only
for Windows >= Vista).
`Config_showTaskBar=0`
> If false (`=0`), the task bar is hidden. It can be made visible or hidden by
hotkey (see below).
`Config_showBorder=1`
> If false (`=0`), the window borders are hidden; therefor windows cannot be
resized manually by dragging the border, even if using the according hotkey.
`Config_selBorderColor=`
> Border colour of the active window; format: 0x00BBGGRR (e. g. `0x006A240A`,
if =0, the system's window border colour is not changed).
### Window arrangement
`Config_viewNames=1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9`
> The names of the views separated by a semicolon. This variable sets the names
of the views shown in the status bar and determines the nummber of views
(`Config_viewCount`); the total number of names given, i. e. views, should not
be exceeded by the configured hotkeys.
Config_layout_#1=[]=;tile
Config_layout_#2=[M];monocle
Config_layout_#3=><>;
> The layout symbol and arrange function (the first entry is set as the default
layout, no layout function means floating behavior)
`Config_layoutCount=3`
> Total number of layouts defined above.
`Config_layoutAxis_#1=1`
> The layout axis: 1 = x, 2 = y; negative values mirror the layout, setting the
master area to the right / bottom instead of left / top.
`Config_layoutAxis_#2=2`
> The master axis: 1 = x (from left to right), 2 = y (from top to bottom),
3 = z (monocle).
`Config_layoutAxis_#3=2`
> The stack axis: 1 = x (from left to right), 2 = y (from top to bottom),
3 = z (monocle).
`Config_layoutGapWidth=0`
2014-10-29 17:21:45 +00:00
> The default gap width in px (only even numbers) used in the "tile" and
"monocle" layout, i. e. the space between windows and around the layout.
`Config_layoutMFactor=0.6`
> The factor for the size of the master area, which is multiplied by the
monitor size.
`Config_areaTraceTimeout=1000`
> The time in milliseconds, for which the area trace is shown.
The area trace indicates the areas in the "tile" layout, which can be used to
manually resize and position windows by hotkey. See also `View_moveWindow(<n>)`
and `View_traceAreas()` in the listing of hotkeys.
`Config_continuouslyTraceAreas=0`
> If true (`=1`), the area trace is continuously shown over the desktop.
`Config_dynamicTiling=1`
> If true (`=1`), windows are dynamically tiled i. e. the layout is reset and
therewith all windows resized and positioned automatically, if new windows are
created or existing destroyed or moved.
If false (`=0`) you may use manual tiling.
`Config_ghostWndSubString= (Not Responding)`
> The text string, which identifies a hung window in its title bar; the german
Windows version uses " (Keine Rückmeldung)".
`Config_mFactCallInterval=700`
> The time in milliseconds, in which two consecutive calls to
`View_setMFactor(<d>, <dFact>)` have to be made, to accelerate the increasing
or decreasing of `mfact`. See also `View_setMFactor(<d>, <dFact>)` in the
listing of hotkeys.
`Config_mouseFollowsFocus=1`
> If true (`=1`), the mouse pointer is set over the focused window, if a window
is activated by bug.n.
`Config_newWndPosition=top`
> The position of a new window in a view; `top`: at the beginning of the window
list and the master area (default), `masterBottom`: at the end of the master
area, `stackTop`: on top of the stack area, `bottom`: at the end of the window
list and the stack area.
`Config_onActiveHiddenWnds=view`
> The action, which will be taken, if a window e. g. should be activated, but
is not visible; `view`: show the view accordng to the first tag of the window
in question, `tag`: add the window in question to the current visible view,
`hide`: hide the window again ignoring the activation.
`Config_shellMsgDelay=350`
> The time bug.n waits after a shell message (a window is opened, closed or the
focus has been changed); if there are any problems recognizing, when windows
are opened or closed, try to increase this number.
`Config_syncMonitorViews=0`
> The number of monitors (2 or more), for which views should be activated, when
using the accordant hotkey. If set to 1, the views are activated for all
monitors. If set to 0, views are activated independently (only on the active
monitor).
`Config_viewFollowsTagged=0`
> If true (`=1`) and a window is tagged with a single tag, the view is
correspondingly set to the tag.
`Config_viewMargins=0;0;0;0`
> The margin of a view (around the layout, "monocle" and "tile") as a semicolon
separated list of values in px (top;right;bottom;left), which by default can be
activated per view with the hotkey Win+Shift+N (`View_toggleMargins`).
With view margins you may create an empty area on the monitor, which is not
occupied by the layout, therewith making a desktop widget visible.
### Rules
For a general description of rules and how they can be replaced or added see
the [specific documentation](./Configuring_rules.md).
`Config_rule_#1=.*;.*;;1;0;0;0;0;0;`
> By default all windows are managed, not allocated on a specific monitor or
view, not floating (i. e. tiled), the window title bar is not visible, the
title is not hidden on the bug.n status bar and no window action is taken, when
the window first is created.
`Config_rule_#2=.*;.*;0x80000000;0;0;0;1;1;1;`
> Pop-up windows (style WS_POPUP=0x80000000) will not be managed, are floating
and the titles are hidden.
`Config_rule_#3=SWT_Window0;.*;;1;0;0;0;0;0;`
> Windows created by Java (SWT) e. g. Eclipse have the style WS_POPUP, but
should be excluded from the second rule.
`Config_rule_#4=QWidget;.*;;1;0;0;0;0;0;`

above.
### Configuration management
`Config_autoSaveSession=auto`
> Automatically save the current state of monitors, views, layouts (active
view, layout, axes, mfact and msplit) and windows to the configuration files in
the data directory of bug.n. Possible values are `off`, `auto` and `ask`.
`Config_maintenanceInterval=5000`
> The interval in milliseconds, in which the session will be automatically
saved to especially support the recovery of window states after bug.n
unintentionally quits.
