hello...<snip/>
Next question is about the Translucency patch.. Is Translucency only for menus? i tried FvwmPager, but it doesn't seem to be possible... FvwmPager has StaysOnTop, so it'd be nice to see what's in the window under it.. but i think, for that i'll need real translucency provided by the X server. am i right?
I have a solution that works for me (TM) for the pager being always on top. I have the Pager "swallowed" by FvwmButtons with some dockapps. Then I define the FvwmButtons to have a title bar. Then I use the "Style NoButtons" directives to nuke all buttons _except_ the "WindowShade" button. This way my page is on the right hand side of the screen and I can shade it anytime I want when I need to see the app underneath and unshade otherwise.
As a note, I previously had it window-shading automatically by focus (i.e. if I left the pager, it would lose focus and shade immediately and vice versa). But this became annoying and less useful when I wanted the pager to be ontop of certain apps at times. Hence the manual shade approach.
