I have the following defined in my .fvwm2rc :

Mouse   0       1               A       Menu Window-Ops2 Close
Mouse   0       2               A       Close
Mouse   0       4               A       Maximize
Mouse   0       6               A       Iconify

# lightning bolt - system menu
ButtonStyle 1 8 35x15@1 20x50@1 40x50@0 30x80@1 75x40@0 50x40@1 75x15@0 35x15@1
# x - Close
ButtonStyle 2 17 20x20@1 30x20@1 50x40@1 70x20@1 80x20@1 80x30@0 60x50@0 80x70@1 
80x80@0 70x80@0 50x60@0 30x80@0 20x80@0 20x70@0 40x50@1 20x30@0 20x20@1
# downward triangle - minimize
ButtonStyle 6 4 50x75@1 25x25@1 75x25@1 50x75@0
# large square - maximize
ButtonStyle 4 5 25x25@1 25x75@1 75x75@0 75x25@0 25x25@1
# small square - restore
#ButtonStyle 4 5 40x40@1 60x40@1 60x60@0 40x60@0 40x40@1

(swiped straight from the website and sample files, obviously)

What I want to do is use the small square for button 4 if the window is
fullscreen and the large square if it's neither fullscreen nor
iconified. I feel certain this is in the man pages somewhere, but I've
yet to come across it. I have no idea how to approach this.


I'd still like to work on (which may or may not be doable) :

* How to make windows resizable by dragging on the borders, in
  addition to the corner handles (and disabling moving via borders)

* How to make a window truly maximize, rather than stop a few pixels
  short of fullscreen; a nice touch would be to make it _really_
  maximize, with no border showing and no movement possible while
  maximized

* How to either get FvwmTaskBar to swallow FvwmPager, or remove the
  border from FvwmPager (there is also some difficulty in getting focus
  to return to a window after using the pager)

* How to remove the biff applet and clock from FvwmTaskBar

* How to remove the title and geometry info from the WindowList menu but
  still have it pop up centered on the screen

* How to prevent the menu selection from automatically following the
  mouse pointer and vice-versa

* How to get vector buttons to appear in a different color than the
  titlebar

* How to make the handles thicker than the border


...but I'll work on these personal preferences as time allows. :)

Thanks for any advice on my first (real) question. Any input on the
subsequent wish list is appreciated (particularly if something is known
not possible).
