Re: FVWM: FvwmPager position/geometry question
* 021224 23:44 Johan Svedberg [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello, world! I'm trying to set the position/geometry of the FvwmPager based on the screens height/width. I think I need PipeRead for this but I'm afraid my skills are not enough. :-) I would like it too look something like this (appologies for my terrible ascii skills :)): X || || || || || || Y || || | B | || A | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | || What I want is that there should always be 10 pages at he bottom of the screen, so the width (B) of the pages would be X/10. I got quite close to this with: DeskTopSize 10x1 *FvwmPager: Geometry $[vp.width]x100+0-0 However, the $[vp.width] overlaps abit to te next page, why is this? The height (A) of the pages should always be one tenth of the screens height (Y/10). This is still a pussle to me, just used 100 in the above example to test width, anyone got a solution?

FvwmPager can't have just any arbitrary width or height. In your case the width will always be 9 + 10 * N, for example 79 pixels, because there are 9 separators. Keeping this in mind, add this line to your config: *FvwmPager: DesktopScale 10 This makes a pager to be 9 pixels (or less) wider than needed. Not good. I may suggest this instead: *FvwmPager: Geometry $[vp.width]x99 And of course: DesktopSize 10x1 Style FvwmPager NoHandles, BorderWidth 0 # or non zero to fill the gap If you need to do some calculations, I would suggest to use FvwmPerl for this in 2.5.x, or do something like this (3 is for BorderWidth 3): PipeRead 'echo *FvwmPager: Geometry `expr $[vp.width] - 3 * 2`x99' You may need to escape some chars in some cases, like `\\( 3 \\* 2 \\)`.
