Re: FVWM: fvwm-menu-desktop doesn't recognize --desktop?

I know that something happened in the menu generation tool(s) lately, but I don't know if it's related to my problem. My fvwm-menu-desktop tool doesn't seem to recognize the --desktop option any longer. The output is as follows: $ fvwm-menu-desktop --desktop kde-sys Unknown option: desktop Nothing else. So, where should I be looking to diagnose this? I use Gentoo and fvwm 2.6.1. fvwm-menu-desktop alone produces no output. After much testing and help from Jesús, we've determined that the reason for the lack of generated menus is the missing script kde-config on Gentoo. His Gentoo system does have kde4-config which works as a substitute. Just create a soft link from kde4-config to kde-config. I'm not happy with fvwm-menu-desktop depending on kde-config and will be looking at making changes to fix this issue. Thanks Jesús! -- Dan Espen

I've been interested to have fun and give back to the FVWM community with concepts for the default theme. I feel that this can be vectorized properly with built in functionality and maintain it's current look using base X11 fonts like fixed-9. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17828753/inclusions/inclusions-fvwm.png Some the ideas in involved with this mock up which I'm converting into a real theme as we speak are per the following. Clean lines and neutral colors. Modern asthetics felt similarly in kde oxygen, gnome clearlooks, gnome elementary, and MacOSX themes. There is a careful consideration on not to small to be unusable but also not to big to look old school. Still 3d in the context of modern asthetics to cater to the MWM lovers. Hope my contribution gets the creative juices flowing on this topic if nothing else. I like this look very much. Clean and fresh :-) I'm guessing that's the Inactive scheme? Looking at Clearlooks, it looks like the ActiveUp titlebar is blue? I'm not sure if ActiveDown has it's own settings. There should be more screenshots like inactive and active state. Also, how buttons looks like if the pressed ... It looks like you set Border/HandleWidth to 1. This should be standard because borders greater 1 looks so ... so frumpy ;-) Thomas -- Life is like a box of chocolates - never know what you're gonna get. ___ Schon gehört?

I also like being able to resize a window from any edge or corner, and it's really hard to grab a 1-pixel border with the mouse. Is there a good solution for that problem? - Derek

Many solutions: Key F8 A M Resize Hit Alt F8, then move over the frame to resize with the mouse. Key F2 A 4 Maximize grow grow Hit Window Key F2 and grow into available space Key F1 A M Maximize 0 100 Hit Alt F1 and grow to maximum height. You can also initiate actions from menus, title bars and title bar buttons, single clicks, double clicks, strokes. Personally, I like pixmaps in the window border and prefer a wider border so I can see the beautiful blue marble borders. -- Dan Espen
