transparency + FvwmWinList:
I'm trying to use as much transparency as possible (similar to the Crystal
theme), this includes using transparency with the FvwmWinList module. I find
that it often uses the wrong window names/titles in the list. Sometimes an fvwm
restart can fix this (most often not). Fully login out of X and then back in
sometimes fixes it (more often than an fvwm restart). Basically the behavior is
FvwmWinList will use window names of windows that have WindowListSkip in their
Style to replace window names that sjould be in the list. For the record, I've
never seen this happen when not using transparency. I've only seen this when
Fvwm starts.
transparency with title bars:
Transparent title bars can often get locked into a particular portion of the
background. No matter where you place the windows they maintain them same
portion of the background. This can happen when Fvwm starts or after some use
of the WM.
Transperent title bars sometimes show the given background color and do not do
transparency. This can happen when Fvwm starts or after some use of the WM.
transparency with FvwmButtons:
The same sticking image problem can happen as with title bars.
transparency with FvwmPager:
Not sure if this is transparency related, but sometimes FvwmPager just doesn't
start or it wont swallow into Buttons. I've never seen this w/o transparency.
My .fvwm2rc is attached as "fvwm2rc.jyg"
thanx,
