  <!-- ============= Usage  ================================ -->
  <sect3 id="fish-usage">
   <title>Usage</title>
   <para>
     Unlike most fishes, this fish requires little care and no fishbowl
     cleaning. It swims happily about in its water. If you ask it, it
     will tell you interesting thoughts.
   </para>

   <para>
    Right-clicking on the applet brings up a menu containing the
    following items:
    <itemizedlist>

     <listitem>
      <para>
       <guimenuitem>Properties&hellip;</guimenuitem> &mdash;
       opens the <link linkend="fish-prefs">

      </para>
     </listitem>

     <listitem>
      <para>
       <guimenuitem>Help</guimenuitem> &mdash;
       displays this document.
      </para>
     </listitem>

     <listitem>
      <para>
       <guimenuitem>About&hellip;</guimenuitem> &mdash;
       shows basic information about <application>Fish
       Applet</application>, inluding the applet's version and the
       author's name.
      </para>
     </listitem>

  <!-- ============= Customization ============================= -->
  <sect3 id="fish-prefs">
    <title>Customization</title>
    <para>
      You can customize <application>Fish</application>
      applet by right-clicking on it and choosing
      <guimenuitem>Properties&hellip;</guimenuitem>. This will open the
      <interface>Properties</interface> dialog(shown in <xref
      linkend="fish-settings-fig">), which allows you to
      change various settings.
    </para>

    <para>
     The properties are:
     <itemizedlist>

      <listitem>
       <para>
        Your GNOME Fish's Name &mdash;  You can change your fish's
        name here. The default name is Wanda. 
       </para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
       <para>
        The Animation Filename &mdash; You can select a different set
        of pictures here. By default,
        the list of pictures is in <filename>$PREFIX/pixmaps/fish/</filename>,
        which you can browse and choose from. You may also put a different
        pathname in pointing to your own pictures.
       </para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
       <para>
        Frames In Animation &mdash; The number of frames in the
        animation. The default is three, but the range is from 1 to 255.
       </para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
       <para>
        Pause per frame (s) &mdash;  The period in seconds before
        updating the picture. The default is one second, but the range
        is from 0.10 to 10 seconds.
       </para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
       <para>
        Rotate on vertical panels &mdash; This checkbox is used for
        vertical panels, and when checked, the
        fish will appear swimming downwards on a vertical panel. If it is 
        not checked, it will appear the same way as on a horizontal panel,
        which forces the vertical panel to widen to accomodate it.
       </para>
      </listitem>


     </itemizedlist>
    </para>

    <para> 
      After you have made all the changes you want, click on
      <guibutton>OK</guibutton> to apply the changes and close the
      <interface>Properties</interface> dialog. To cancel the changes
      and return to previous values, click the
      <guibutton>Cancel</guibutton> button.
