You didn't say what is "the rest of your desktop theme", but FvwmIconMan supports 2 more button border styles than the 3 you listed: raisededge and sunkedge, both are quite interesting. You may use flat borders and colorset Pixmap, but this probably will not do what you want, since you want to provide your own borders. Currently all FvwmIconMan *colorset options do not control the background of a single button, but of the whole manager window. The colorset image is resized to the initial size of FvwmIconMan (and is not changed when you resize FvwmIconMan), if you use flat borders all buttons behave like holes that bare parts of the whole images (one for each button class). Or, since the vertical button size in FvwmIconMan is not changed unlike the horizontal size, you may use TiledPixmap in the colorset to define horizontal borders if you can live without vertical borders. > I also don't find a way to avoid these small extra "button" drawn on top > of the normal IconMan's buttons when a window is minimized. Is this made > as a substitute for missing icons? Can I switch that off? I think you can't switch them off currently. The only alternative is to define MiniIcon for a represented window.
