FVWM: keep windows on a page
I was able to find a solution in the manual for starting up a particular window in a particular page. It works great, all I do is Style *hunder*SkipMapping, StartsOnPage 2 2 However, what I want to now accomplish is to start up an app on the same page that I start it with the menu. Let me explain. I have a setup of 1 desktop with 9 pages arranged in a box formation. If I am on page 1, I open up my menu and start an application. Now I move to page 4. Because the application is still starting up, the main window of the application starts up on page 4 (where I currently am). Is it possible to make the application remember that it was started on page 1 and open up there (in the background) and not come up annonyingly on page 4? I know that I can wait until the app starts up on page 1 etc, and I've been living like that for a while now. Just curious if there is a way to accomplish this in FVWM.

Just like GDM shows you a message when the caps key is on.

I have a solution that works for me (TM) for the pager being always on top. I have the Pager swallowed by FvwmButtons with some dockapps. Then I define the FvwmButtons to have a title bar. Then I use the Style NoButtons directives to nuke all buttons _except_ the WindowShade button. This way my page is on the right hand side of the screen and I can shade it anytime I want when I need to see the app underneath and unshade otherwise. As a note, I previously had it window-shading automatically by focus (i.e. if I left the pager, it would lose focus and shade immediately and vice versa). But this became annoying and less useful when I wanted the pager to be ontop of certain apps at times. Hence the manual shade approach. ==Example Style FvwmButtons Sticky, StaysOnTop, Title, !Borders Style FvwmButtons NoButton 1, NoButton 3, NoButton 2 Style FvwmButtons NoButton 4, NoButton 6, NoButton 8 # for the title bar buttons: Mouse 0 1 A Menu MenuFvwmWindowOps2 Close Mouse 0 4 A Maximize 95 100 Mouse 2 4 A Maximize 0 100 Mouse 3 4 A Maximize grow 0 Mouse 0 2 A Close Mouse 0 3 A Stick Mouse 0 6 A Iconify Mouse 0 8 A Layer 0 6 Toggle Mouse 0 5 A WindowShade === Oh, and I'm sorry if the message doesn't thread, I use gmane for read-only newsgroups.

Sorry if this message doesn't thread, I use gmane for reading this newsgroup. One solution that I used for seeing FvwmPager when I want to is windowshading. Previously I had it so that the Pager would shade when it lost focus, but it would do that when I didn't want it to sometimes. So, I now use manual shading for my FvwmButtons (which swallows FvwmPager). Like so: Style FvwmButtons NoButton 1, NoButton 3, NoButton 2 Style FvwmButtons NoButton 4, NoButton 6, NoButton 8 Style FvwmButtons Sticky, StaysOnTop, Title, !Borders # for the title bar buttons: Mouse 0 1 A Menu MenuFvwmWindowOps2 Close Mouse 0 4 A Maximize 95 100 Mouse 2 4 A Maximize 0 100 Mouse 3 4 A Maximize grow 0 Mouse 0 2 A Close Mouse 0 3 A Stick Mouse 0 6 A Iconify Mouse 0 8 A Layer 0 6 Toggle Mouse 0 5 A WindowShade = So, hence now it stays on the right side of my screen and I shade it whenever I want to and it stays out of the way of my work and when I want it to be there no matter what, I unshade it. Just an alternative solution to the translucency (which I don't think is in X yet...). e.g. +-+-+-+ | | + +---+ | Desk0 |Pgr| + +---+ | | +-+-+-+ HTH, -- Harshwardhan Nagaonkar Electrical Engineering Sysop Brigham Young University - 84602 -- Visit the official FVWM web page at URL: http://www.fvwm.org/.

FVWM: custom title bar for a particular app?
Is it possible to have a custom title bar buttons for a particular app? In my normal config, I have quite a lot of buttons for normal windows (maximize, minimise, close, sticky etc). I have one app which I would like to control which of those buttons appear in its title bar. E.g. I want it to only have the windowshade button to appear. Is there a way to make the ButtonStyle apply to only one app?

FVWM: titlebar always on top config?
Hello list, I know that there is a Raise and a RaiseLower that I can use for my titlebar button. Currently I have in my config: Mouse 0 8 A Raise However, when a new window is spawned, it covers the window that I just raised using that title bar button. So, my question is what is the directive that I need so that the window is AlwaysOnTop. Kind of like a Stick function, but I never ever want any other window to overlap it. Does that make sense... I hope:) ? Something to the effect of: Mouse 0 8 A AlwaysOnTop Is there a way to accomplish this? I've spent ~1 hour poring through the manual for this answer and thought I'd try the list this time. Usually I find the answer after searching the manual and google, but this one is elusive.
