Hi,

Dan refers in his statement to the new fvwm-menu-desktop located in the
CVS version of FVWM.

If you want to use it, you need from CVS:
- fvwm-menu-desktop (new Python based xdg menu generator)
=> copy it to /usr/bin/
- fvwm-menu-desktop-config.fpl (configuration GUI)
=> copy it to /usr/share/fvwm/
- fvwm-menu-desktop.1 (new man page)
=> copy it to /usr/share/man/man1/

Or you could download it from here (if you won't follow the CVS 
instructions from the FVWM web page):
https://github.com/Fvwm-Nightshade/Fvwm-Nightshade/blob/release-0.6/bin/fvwm-menu-desktop2
https://github.com/Fvwm-Nightshade/Fvwm-Nightshade/blob/release-0.6/fvwm/fvwm-menu-desktop2-config.fpl
https://github.com/Fvwm-Nightshade/Fvwm-Nightshade/blob/release-0.6/man/fvwm-menu-desktop2.1.gz

Add this to your config:

# Dynamic menu realized with DynamicPopupAction
AddToMenu MenuRoot DynamicPopupAction FuncMenuRoot

DestroyFunc FuncMenuRoot
AddToFunc   FuncMenuRoot
+ I DestroyMenu MenuRoot
+ I AddToMenu MenuRoot DynamicPopupAction MenuRoot
+ I AddToMenu MenuRoot "$[gt.Root Menu]" Title
+ I Popup FvwmMenu
+ I AddToMenu MenuRoot "" Nop

# Remark: FuncMenuRoot exchanges your current root menu. Add your other
# entries after the Nop line.

#---
# Dynamic FvwmMenu sub menu for XDG menus
# realized with DynamicPopupAction
#---
AddToMenu FvwmMenu DynamicPopupAction FuncXdgMenusInRoot

DestroyFunc FuncXdgMenusInRoot
AddToFunc   FuncXdgMenusInRoot
+ I AddToMenu FvwmMenu DynamicPopupAction FuncXdgMenusInRoot
+ I Test (f $[FVWM_USERDIR]/.menu) Read $[FVWM_USERDIR]/.menu
+ I PipeRead 'fvwm-menu-desktop --insert-in-menu MenuRoot > 
$[FVWM_USERDIR]/.menu &&  echo "Read $[FVWM_USERDIR]/.menu"'

# Remark: if you're using the scripts from Fvwm-Nightshade don't forget
# the '2' behind fvwm-menu-desktop ;-)

For more information see the new fvwm-menu-desktop man page.

You can set the wanted icon size via configuration GUI or command line.
Default location for resized icons is ~/.fvwm/icons/

I've described the language translation under
https://github.com/Fvwm-Nightshade/Fvwm-Nightshade/wiki/Documentation#Language

This should normally work. Also if you don't know what content in the header is
needed in the pot and po file have a look into fvwm's sources under po/ or see
https://github.com/Fvwm-Nightshade/Fvwm-Nightshade/blob/release-0.6/templates/fvwm-nightshade.pot

I haven't any experience with VNC but in Virtualbox this happens, too
if FVWM has more than one virtual pages defined and page scrolling is 
active. So e.g you move your cursor out of the left window FVWM 
switch to the left available page and your xterm 'disappears'.

Try to click your middle mouse button. Often the windowlist is binded
to it. If so you see a list of available windows. By clicking one you
choose it.

To disable page scrolling search in your config for 'EdgeScroll' and
change it to
EdgeScroll 0 0

Hope this helps.

Style  EWMHMiniIconOverride, Icon bomb.svg:48x48, MiniIcon 
bomb.svg:16x16

 is the window's name, class, visible name, or resource string (in 
that order)

For the Icon/MiniIcon you have to use the full path or set it in ImagePath

Test it in FvwmConsole. It'll change it on the fly.

Does that mean I need to install libXpm?

You haven't installed the wm-icons package.


fvwm-config --default-imagepath returns:
/usr/include/X11/bitmaps:/usr/include/X11/pixmaps

Your image path should then look like this:
/usr/include/X11/bitmaps:/usr/include/X11/pixmaps:/usr/share/icons/wm-icons:

Re: FVWM: Question about Gradients on windows decor

2011-07-24 Thread Thomas Funk
Hi Thomas,

>This should have been sent to f...@fvwm.org -- please don't ask me questions
>about FVWM off-list. As such, I'm adding fvwm@ back in to this discussion.
-> I did it first, but I get email back with subject "Stalled post to fvwm" on 
both addresses (f...@fvwm.org and fvwm@lists.math.uh.edu)

ok, again ... Here's my previous post for completeness with your comments and 
my questions at the end:

I've tried to create a window decoration with gradients, but it doesn't work. 
Fvwm version used: 2.6.1
I do the following:

# inactive window decoration
Colorset 0 fg rgb:60/60/60,  VGradient 255 2 rgb:82/9a/ba 40 rgb:65/7d/9d 60 
rgb:31/49/69

# active window decoration
Colorset 1  fg black, VGradient 255 2 rgb:98/a5/b5 40 rgb:7c/89/99 60 
rgb:68/75/85

>Because gradients don't work in this way; you cannot have gradients on
>window borders, for instance.
yes, I wrote this below ... only with Colorset ...

+ ButtonStyle 6 3 0+4px50+1p@0 100-5px50+1p@0 100-5px50-2p@0 -- Flat

I get only a white background in both windows.

Titlestyle works:
+ TitleStyle     Inactive VGradient 255 2 rgb:82/9a/ba 40 rgb:65/7d/9d 60 
rgb:31/49/69 -- flat
+ TitleStyle     Active VGradient 255 2 rgb:98/a5/b5 40 rgb:7c/89/99 60 
rgb:68/75/85 -- flat

Borderstyle not:
+ BorderStyle    Inactive VGradient 255 2 rgb:82/9a/ba 40 rgb:65/7d/9d 60 
rgb:31/49/69 -- HiddenHandles NoInset
+ BorderStyle    Active VGradient 255 2 rgb:98/a5/b5 40 rgb:7c/89/99 60 
rgb:68/75/85 -- HiddenHandles NoInset

Only with a Colorset:
# Inactive window borders
Colorset 2 VGradient 255 2 rgb:82/9a/ba 40 rgb:65/7d/9d 60 rgb:31/49/69

# Active window borders
Colorset 3 VGradient 255 2 rgb:98/a5/b5 40 rgb:7c/89/99 60 rgb:68/75/85

+ BorderStyle    Inactive Colorset 2 -- HiddenHandles NoInset
+ BorderStyle    Active Colorset 3 -- HiddenHandles NoInset

But the vector buttons ... no chance. I've tried these variants:
+ ButtonStyle    All Active (VGradient 255 2 rgb:98/a5/b5 40 rgb:7c/89/99 60 
rgb:68/75/85 -- flat) Inactive (VGradient 255 2 rgb:82/9a/ba 40 rgb:65/7d/9d 60 
rgb:31/49/69 -- flat)
+ ButtonStyle    All Active (Colorset 3 -- flat) Inactive (Colorset 2 -- flat)

but without success ...

Any suggestions?

>ButtonStyle All -- UseTitleStyle
I've used it ... see above ...

Ok, again ... why doesn't Gradients work with the style command for 
inactive/active window decoration? Why appears a white decoration?

Thomas
