Xpad FAQ
Pads start out too large. How do I change the default pad size?
Unfortunately, there is no user interface for this yet. You can, however, edit the file ~/.config/xpad/default-style and change the lines
width 260
height 260
to the desired width and height in pixels.
Without the toolbar, pads can't be moved around or resized! What's the deal?
If you hold down Ctrl and left drag with the mouse, the pad will move around the screen. If you hold down Ctrl and right drag with the mouse, the pad will resize.
I like shiny things. When will xpad have transparency?
I have investigated this and would like to see this feature. However, GTK+ does not yet have full support for the X server's transparency method. Until this becomes easier for me, I will not likely add it. I am accepting patches, however.
