There is however one thing in there that is worth noting, either as a bug in the module communication or in the documentation: | Basically you have to send the command NOP FINISHED STARTUP to FVWM | before it will start talking to your module. This isn't mentioned | anywhere on the module page, and is barely eluded to in the fvwm man | page. /Viktor [1] http://fvwm.lair.be/viewtopic.php?t=260
Documentation for module developers
Hi, Are http://www.fvwm.org/documentation/dev_modules.php is the only module related documentation available? BTW, I found an error on this page: in section 'Colorset support' InitPictureCMap() should be PictureInitCMap() instead (this function was renamed on 2002-04-22 according to main ChangeLog).
