### 3. Configuring the titlebar appearance and action

With this dialog, you can change the visual appearance of the titlebar and partially choose how it acts..

The Title Alignment selection sets the position of the window title in the titlebar (left-justified, centered, or right-justified)

There are four options for the titlebar Appearance:

- Shaded Vertically: fills the bar with a color gradient from top to bottom
- Shaded Horizontally: fills the bar with a color gradient from side to side
- Plain: fills the bar with a simple color
- Pixmap: allows you to select pixmaps which are tiled to fill the titlebar; in this case click on the Active pixmap and inactive pixmap buttons to select pixmaps for the active and inactive titlebars. You may also choose not to extend the pixmap tiling under the text on the titlebar.

The Mouse action section lets you choose what happens when you doubleclick on the titlebar of a window with the left mouse button. The most convenient actions to choose are (Un)Maximize and (Un)Shade. The default is set to (Un)Shade. (Un)Shade is the name of a feature which allows to reduce a window to the size of its titlebar (and restore it).

If the window title is too long to be completely displayed on the window titlebar, the the "Title animation" option allows the text to slide back and forth, so all the title can be read. The slider bar controls the period of this motion; setting the period to 0 switches off this feature.
