Should not the order for consistency be the following: TitleStyle <state> Fancy ... > You can specify "no pixmap" at any position by substituting '-' for a pixmap > filename. The main pixmap will be tiled over any resulting empty spaces. I can't apply your patch right now. I have more questions: * In http://www.igs.net/~tril/fvwm/glenwood.jpg do you use transparent pixmaps for <* text>? The same question about <far *>. It is not critical if all pixmaps should be non-transparent, but if only Main pixmap is fully destructive, it may be replaced by a general colorset later (TiledPixmap, [Resizable]Pixmap, complex gradient, solid color), while all other pixmaps would be only partially destructive. * Currently a titlebar text noticeably flickers in some configurations. How is a flickery with your patch? Just for a curiosity how hard is to update your patch to do the following: * Use named parameters for pixmaps with only one mandatory Main? * Use optionally Main pixmap as resizable instead of tiled. * Add optionally Button (LeftButton/RightButton) pixmaps that would be used instead of Main in ButtonStyle UseTitleStyle. This is needed if buttons are configured separately from a titlebar like in fvwm-themes. I am not sure the following are needed in practice, but to think about: * Use optionally LeftMain and RightMain instead of Main. Probably only useful with Centered text. * Optionally undefined <under text> pixmap is skipped (like other non-main pixmaps) instead of retiled. Options may be given after "--" like in other TitleStyle styles. What I said is only thoughts. I am trying to find a reasonable optimum.
