OT: fvwm95 configuration
Hello, I want to configure fvwm95 window manager to my own needs. Does anyone know a tool with which I can configure Fvwm95-Buttons and put a background image? I have read some docs about it, but they were not very clear. I know how to adjust the Buttons by editing the config file, but I found nothing about putting an image on the background.

IMO it's best if you have separate program to do that, there is number of them, I use chbg (in package of same name). just stick in in the X startup scripts somewhere, I use xdm so I added a line (or three) into /etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup: # erik: chbg - begin /usr/bin/chbg -scenario /home/erik/.chbgrc # erik: chbg - end of course, you'd better put the config file (.chbgrc) into some system wide directory not into some user's dir... probably into some /usr/local or /opt subdir. btw fvwm can do everything (AFAIK) that fvwm95 can and is actively developed... you _might_ want to check it out. erik

Something like: Exec xv -root -quit -max /path-to-file/picture.jpg or Exec xli -border cyan4 -onroot -quiet -center /path-to-file/picture.xpm in your ~/.fvwm95/post.hook file should work.
