Re: FVWM: Icons on the Desktop (should replace FvwmButton)
Right, and FvwmButtons would be nice, IF It is transparent and show ONLY the Icons. I have tried to get the FvwmButtons Is there a Example, HOW to make FvwmButtons transparent? Here is my configuration, which displays transparent buttons, as icons: Colorset 40 fg white, fgsh black, Transparent Colorset 41 fg white, fgsh black, Transparent, IconTint Blue 30, fgTint Blue 30, bgTint Blue 30 Colorset 42 fg white, fgsh black, Transparent, IconTint Red 50, fgTint Red 50, bgTint Red 50 Style MyButtons NoTitle, NoHandles, Sticky, WindowListSkip, BorderWidth 0, CirculateSkip, ParentalRelativity DestroyModuleConfig MyButtons* *MyButtons: Columns 1 *MyButtons: Frame 0 *MyButtons: Padding 5 *MyButtons: Colorset 40 *MyButtons: ActiveColorset 41 *MyButtons: PressColorset 42 *MyButtons: Geometry +5+5 *MyButtons: BoxSize smart *MyButtons: Font Shadow=1 1 SE: fontname Cheers, EdE

Then you can place them anywhere in your desktop (or page, sorry I don't remember exactly which is the right word, but I think you know what I mean) using geometry in style lines. They are nicer with no border (0 pixels). The difference with those in M$ Win is that you cannot pick them up with the mouse and replace in a differente position (or yes?). Said that, a question arise: It's worth it, in terms of efficiency, to have only one instance of FvwmButtons with all the buttons in it? Thanks Fernando

The second, and most annoying for these users, that these icons launch their application on single-click.. I had some experiments with writing functions, which had to execute on doubleclick, but for some strange reasons they launched apps on triple-click :) After it I started here a conversation about this problem, but no solution found (maybe since then it exists), so I disabled FvwmButtons, and added idesk (idesk.sourceforge.net) as startaction for Fvwm.. This is a non-fvwm solution, but solves desktop for hard windowsbrained users :) Maybe this will help you too.. Regards, EdE
