fvwm version 2.4.19 I have been trying for a bit today to find a way to convince the FvwmTaskBar buttons to emulate the WinXP task bar buttons as closely as possible for my wife's computer. Eventually I found the following definition (slightly modified) from the fvwm themes package (0.6.2):
DestroyFunc FuncFvwmIconifyOrFocusAndRaise AddToFunc FuncFvwmIconifyOrFocusAndRaise + I DestroyFunc RealIconifyOrFocusAndRaise + I AddToFunc RealIconifyOrFocusAndRaise + I ThisWindow ( Iconic) + I Iconify off + I ThisWindow ( Iconic) + I Raise + I ThisWindow ( Iconic) + I Focus + I ThisWindow (!Iconic Raised) + I Iconify on + I ThisWindow (!Iconic !Raised) + I Raise + I ThisWindow (!Iconic !Raised) + I Focus + I RealIconifyOrFocusAndRaise This function, when I assign it to "click1" for FvwmTaskBar does almost everything I want. If the window is iconic, it is deiconified, raised, and focused. If the window is not iconic, and not on top of the stacking order, it will be raised and focused. Both of these work just fine. The part that is causing me the last bit of consternation is with the iconification of a non-iconic raised window (the "+ I ThisWindow (!Iconic Raised) + I Iconify on" part). If the window that is being manipulated is not behind another "StaysOnTop" window, then it too works just fine. But, if the window that is being manipulated is covered, even slightly, by a StaysOnTop window (e.g., the FvwmTaskBar itself, an FvwmIconMan, an oclock, etc.) then it is never considered to be "Raised", even when it is at the top of it's current layer. And so fvwm continues to "Raise" and "Focus" it instead of making it into an iconic window. I tried adding "Layer 4" to the conditions, thinking that it might restrict the conditions to looking for "Raised" status among only the layer 4 windows, but that did not work. I tried adding an iconification and layer 0 0 assignment FvwmTaskBar at the start of the function, and a deiconification and layer default assignment of FvwmTaskBar at the very end, but that too did not work (I'm guessing it's somewhat of a race condition problem for this one). Is there any way to have the "Raised" status consider only windows in the current layer (not all layers) when determining "topmost" status so that this last little bit of the emulation can be made to work? Or can anyone suggest another way to accomplish this last little bit that works even if the window of interest is actually underneath a StaysOnTop window?
