Really? I've gone over the man page, and experimented, and haven't been
able to get that effect.
Here's some more detailed examples...
Layout A: Two Columns
FvwmRearrange -m
2 Windows: 2 columns (good)
3 Windows: 3 columns (not want)
FvwmRearrange -m -mn 2
2 Windows: 2 columns (good)
3 Windows: 3 quarter-sized windows (not want)
Layout B: Tall Left
Left column has one window, right column has two windows,
like this:
|
|
|----
|
|
FvwmRearrange -m -mn 2
3 Windows: 3 quarter-sized windows (not want)
4 Windows: 4 quarter-sized windows (not want)
Layout C: Tall Right
(as for Tall Left, but with the tall window on the right)
Layout D: Quartered
FvwmRearrange -m -mn 2
4 Windows: 4 quarter-sized windows (good)
5 Windows: 5 windows each 1/6 of the window size (not want)
So how do I use FvwmRearrange to give the above layouts?
