# Everything after a hash (#) on a line is a comment. Comments and

# Labels start with a colon and may consist of any number of alpha numeric

# If 0x or 0X is found on a line, it will be replaced with #, thus
# allowing color or other values to be read from a config file as

# If a command starts with a colon, salmon will search this file or an
# alternate file specified with -cmdfile=... for a label of that name.
# If it starts with a tilda, $HOME/etc/salmon.cfg will be searched.
# The display never changes because the six lines don't change.
# If the background is not transparent and a refresh rate is not
# specified, the display will not be refreshed.
# These are the two labels referred to above. They are not valid
# salmon command line labels but are to be used as the commands
# to execute on pointer events or at timer/alarm timeout.
# A backslash as the last character on a line will be skipped and
# the line will be continued with the next non-comment/non-blank
# line. These commands could be placed in an alternate file and
# accessed by setting cmdfile=...
