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).
Other than that minor fix, was there some specific information not listed
on that page you were after?
Yes. I want full FVWM API description. For example, FScreenInit,
FRenderInit and many other functions used in modules aren't described
there. Tutorials are also welcome. Of course I can figure out all
missing details by reading source code, but this cost time.
Currently there isn't any such documentation about those. Do what you can
by reading the source code and sporadic comments therein where applicable.
This is all I do. If you feel like documenting it yourself as you go, that
too would be good. :)

There is '[C]Modules from scratch'[1] which gives a quick introduction to
the module communication, but it's not using the fvwm libs.
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.
