After you get this feel correctly, you may think about adding PressIcon,
PressTitle and PressColorset to be used instead of the original ones. :)
Would this make it possible to have a different icons for the 'up' and
'down' state of a button ? Because i'm awaiting this feature
for a long time,

Hi,
I should probably make this a personal question, but since i think a lot
of users use this feature, i thought i'ld ask it publicly.
When using taviso's rc lines for having dynamic icons for applications
when minimizing (http://dev.gentoo.org/~taviso/screenshot6.png), i would like
to have
have something like pointing a menu to a directory in which all
programs/items to be shown or hidden are stored as links or something
similar.
If you have the luck to be running Debian, you can add a menuitem:
..
+ Debian Popup /Debian
..
This menu will contain all installed
That's great but I am running gentoo. I wonder however why this would
work only on Debian? Could you explain what Debian does to provide its
menus so easily and how this tecnique is integrated into fvwm?
Debian packages normally contain a file describing what type of
application it is
menu structure. I personally find it a real pain in the bum, and much
prefer writing my own dynamic menus (mine are implemented with ruby).
It's not really a pain in the bum, as you don't have to do anything
about it to use it. Besides, they're not really dynamic, so it doesn't cost
extra time
Style mutt Icon norm/mutt_button.xpm MiniIcon mini/mutt-mini.xpm
How about placing a comma in between your Icon and your MiniIcon
declarations ?
You can check the resource and class etc. of a window with FvwmIdent.
If 'mutt' isn't anywhere in there, you could explicitly set the title
of
# schedule FvwmPager so it starts after the root bg is up.
+ I Schedule 900 Module FvwmPager * *
Yes, but that's not really clean (you might wait too long or too short).
I used fvwm-root in a PipeRead, which seems to solve the problem.

Hi,
When i start fvwm, the initialization function starts the pager, the
buttons, and sets the background. If the buttons and the pager are
transparent, this gives some weird results while starting: first they
are started with a black backround, after a while the background comes
up, and then the

A little bit more discrete version of FvwmButtons can be seen in the top

debian unstable is called unstable because it's not stable yet, not
because it includes unstable (development) versions of apps. Generally
debian unstable includes latest stable versions of apps (or at least
that's the goal, as far as I can say).
That's correct. Although that doesn't

Hello,
I was wondering if it's possible to put an application which doesn't
accept geometry parameters in a fixed location. I found a module
FvwmPlacement which claims to do this, but thought it was strange that
this feature is not in the standard FVWM distribution. Is there another
way ?

and SpawnOnOpen. This should achieve the functionality you want, but in a
bit different (and I hope a more intuitive) way,

Hello FVWM workers,
I wrote a patch for a minor adjustment for the FvwmButtons module. I
added an extra FvwmButtons option 'Relief reliefmode' to specify when
relief of the button should be drawn: only in the up state, only in the down
state, or in both states (default).

my point: fvwm2 could
have a nicer default look I think...
I agree with the fact that the default look (the pink one) is rather
ugly, which is the reason for most people not to use FVWM at all.
However, a lot of window managers and desktop managers seem to have a
sober default look and feel,
fvwm-themes), but the great thing about fvwm is that it's as
configurable in it's behaviour as it is in the looks.
I don't think any of us doubts about that. But you can't 'show' how
handy and configurable a window manager's feel is; however, you _can_ show how
configurable a window

Well, you may start xplanet in StartFunction instead of InitFunction
and ExitFunction will work for you like you want.
That's not really what you would want to do with xplanet.

It's a pure luxury problem.
When fvwm is restarted, xplanet doesn't have to be restarted because all
