NAME
       wmbday -	dockable birthday reminder

SYNOPSIS
       wmbday [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTIOIN
       wmbday displays the next	4 coming birthdays in a	WindowMaker dock app.

       While  running  left clicking on	one of the names will give information
       about the certain name in an xmessage box. A left  click	 somewhere  in
       the window while	wmbday notifies	you about a birthday will stop the an-
       imation.

       As  of  version	0.3  wmbday provides a modern look which is similar to
       various other dockapps. By pressing the right mouse button you can  now
       switch the backlight on or off.

OPTIONS
	-d name, --display=name
	      Specifies	the X server to	contact. See X(7x).

	-t, --text
	      Enables the classical look.

	-f file, --file=file
	      Use file as data file instead of ~/.wmbday/data

	-B color, --bgcolor=color
	      Specifies	 either	 the  color string (see	section	"Colors") used
	      for filling the background or the	backlight color.

	-F color, --fontcolor=color
	      Specifies	the color  string  (see	 section  "Colors")  used  for
	      painting normal text (also valid when using the new GUI).

	-H color, --hicolor=color
	      Specifies	 the  color  string  (see  section  "Colors") used for
	      painting blinking	text (also valid when using the	new GUI).

	-h, --help
	      Gives some help text.

	-v, --version
	      Outputs the program version.

FORMAT OF THE DATA FILE
       Since version 0.2 wmbday	supports two types of  data  files:  vCard  or
       simple.

       The  format  of	the  usual data	file is	quite simple. The first	column
       contains	the date and the second	one the	name. They are separated by an
       arbitrary amount	of whitespaces (" ", "\r", "\t", "\n").

       dd.mm.yyyy[whitespace]name

       Notice that the date format is German and not English here.

       Names given in quotation	can also be handled by wmbday.

       Also note that a	line must not exceed 100 characters. But  this	should
       not be a	problem	due to the limited space of the	dockapp.

       On  the	other hand you can use a vCard-address-book like it is used by
       KAddressbook for	example. wmbday	will only read	the  "FN"  and	"BDAY"
       lines. For more information on vCards see RFC 2426.

SIGNALS
       wmbday  responds	 to  the  SIGHUP signal	which makes it reload the data
       file.

COLORS
       Colors for wmbday can be	specified in two  ways.	 Either	 by  the  name
       ("red", "blue", "green")	or by RGB values. For a	complete list of color
       names supported by the Xlib please refer	to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt.
       It  would  go  beyond  the scope	of this	manpage. For exotic colors you
       would have to use the second method anyway. But you have	to  note  that
       different  monitors  show those colors differently. Names by Colors are
       more portable.

       If you want to specify the RGB value the	format must be "#rrrrggggbbbb"
       where "r", "g" and "b" indicate the amount of the corresponding primary
       color in	the target color in hexadecimal	 numbers.  Numbers  with  less
       than  12	 digits	 are filled with zeros so you can easily use "#rrggbb"
       instead.	Note that you maybe have to escape  the	 leading  "#"  in  the
       shell.

FILES
	~/.wmbday/data
	      wmbday data file.

VERSION
       This man	page is	conform	to version 0.3 of wmbday.

BUGS
       Please  report any bugs you may find as well as feature requests	to the
       author.
