+This theme emulates the look and feel of the RISC OS 'window manager'.
+Actually, RISC OS doesn't have a window manager in the same way X
+does, but if you imagine it does, this is an emulation of that ;)
+
+The look is obviously quite different, but coming anywhere close to
+the unique look of RISC OS would be quite blatantly obvious, so to
+avoid copyright issues, the look of this theme is unique. You may
+consider it to be RISC OS grown up ;)
+
+Functions that will be implemented but are currently missing:
+ Transparent resize.
+ Shading.
+ Backward-resize.
+ NOTE: Backward-resize is an interesting feature and quite useful.
+ If you resize a window such that you hit the screen edge
+ in the process, the window resizes 'backwards' (i.e.
+ moves in the opposite direction to your drag and at the
+ same time continues increasing in size). So instead
+ of having to let go of the resize handle, move the window
+ and resize again, it just does what you want it to do.
+
+Button functions: (Missing functionality is marked with TODO)
+
+Button One:
+
+ Left button: TODO
+ Lower window and drop focus. This is currently unimplemented
+ in twin itself.
+
+Button Two:
+
+ Left button: Close window.
+
+ Right button: TODO, if I can be bothered.
+ Close window.
+ If window is filer window, open another filer window
+ in parent dir.
+ If window is document window, open a filer window in
+ dir containing document.
+ If you hold Shift, the window doesn't close.
+ NOTE:
+ This requires app support.
+ If I were to implement this, I would do it in konqy
+ and probably not bother for other apps.
+
+Titlebar:
+
+ Left button: Raise, focus and move window
+
+ Middle button: Move window
+
+ Right button: Menu
+ Note: Buttons are this way around for compatibility with
+ other twin themes.
+
+Button Three:
+
+ Left button: Iconify window.
+
+Button Four:
+
+ Left button: Maximise or restore window plus raise and focus.
+
+ Middle button: Maximise vertically or restore window plus raise and focus.
+
+ Right button: Maximise or restore window.
+
+Resize bar left/right:
+
+ Left button: Move that corner (resizes window) and raise
+
+ Other buttons: Same without raising
+
+Resize bar centre:
+
+ Left button: Move that edge (resizes window) and raise
+
+ Other buttons: Same without raising
+
+The lower bar is used for resizing. It works in the NeXT style.
+This doesn't exist on RISC OS. In RISC OS, there is a 'resize handle'
+in the lower right corner of the window (actually inside the window).
+
+To emulate this would mean covering part of the window with the decorations,
+which is not acceptable. RISC OS gets away with it by making sure that
+there is a vertical scrollbar visible at all times, which is just stupid.
+It's also an impossibility with X11, as the window manager does not know
+anything about scrollbars - they belong to the application, so don't ask
+me to implement it.
