I built fvwm again with the rplay use flag
and I edited my .fvwm2rc file to look like this
| Code: |

#+ I Module FvwmPager
+ I Modules FvwmEvent
+ I Module FvwmBacker

Those would be 'Tear-off' menus. I usually just open the menu and press the BKSP key to create one -- but there's plenty of other ways to do it, as per 'man fvwm'.

hi,
i was wondering what the "c c" means in the key binding line...
Key Tab A M WindowList Root c c CurrentPage CurrentDesk NoGeometry
more importantly, when i press alt-tab, it takes me to the top left corner of the window. now, a mouse press might close it  . How do i change this, so that on a alt+tab, the mouse goes to the "middle" of the focissed window?
thanks,
Shrimp |

It starts the WindowList in the centre of the screen.

The WindowList activates a named function on operation (WindowListFunc), hence you'll just need to redefine it:
| Code: |
AddToFunc WindowListFunc
+ I Iconify off
+ I FlipFocus
+ I Raise
+ I WarpToWindow 50p 50p

thanks for the reply, but
>>It starts the WindowList in the centre of the screen.
actually no... it seems to start at all sorts of places... my guess where the mouse currently is
>> New AddToFunc WindowListFunc
ok. sorta works. but then it is still "50p,50p" not mid of the window. Not to be too pain in the a***, but, fvwm has gotten everything else for me, so this would make it 100% satisfaction

Never bothered to try it myself, but I think that the rplay program works in a daemon-like basis (can someone confirm this?), so you might need to start some kind of daemon or service to use it.
I prefer to use a normal program for that, for example "play" that comer with sox, and can play more formats. That way the fvwm support for rplay is not needed and fvwm is kept slightly more clean and a bit smaller (i think...).

From the man:
| Code: |
WarpToWindow x[p] y[p]
Warps the cursor to the associated window. The parameters x and
y default to percentage of window down and in from the upper
left hand corner (or number of pixels down and in if 'p' is
appended to the numbers). If a number is negative the opposite
edge is used and the direction reversed. This command works
also with windows that are not managed by fvwm. In this case
fvwm does not bring the window onto the screen if it is not vis-
ible. For example it is possible to warp the pointer to the
center of the root window on screen 1:
WindowId root 1 WarpToWindow 50 50

This looks as though you need to set your LocalePath within FVWM, as well as perhaps looking at $[gt.str]

Hi again all
I'm creating some kind of appbar and I would need some help from you Fvwm-gurus. I've manage too get the pager and some apps showing up as planned, but that's about it. If I add something after my apps section it'll get all screwed up, it breaks the rows and place itself under the app-buttons and not after them as I want it too. Also, the FvwmClock Module wont cooperate nicely, how do I swallow it and how do I edit it? 
Anyhow, this is how I want it too be:
| Code: |
starterbar space pager space appstarters space clock space
------------------------------------------------------------------
|| Some | |____|____|____| | | |App| |App| |App| | | Clock ||
||starterbar | |____|____|____| | | |App| |App| |App| | | Date ||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
This is what I have:
| Code: |
space pager space appstarters
----------------------------------------
|| |____|____|____| || |App| |App| |App|
|| |____|____|____| || |App| |App| |App|
----------------------------------------
|
With this code:
| Code: |
DestroyModuleConfig FvwmBar: *
Style "FvwmBar" !Borders, NoHandles, NoTitle, Sticky, NeverFocus, FixedSize
*FvwmBar: Font "Shadow=1 1 SE:xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:style=Roman:size=8"
*FvwmBar: Colorset 18
*FvwmBar: Frame 1
*FvwmBar: Padding 0 0
*FvwmBar: Rows 2
*FvwmBar: (1x2, Colorset 18, Frame 1)
*FvwmBar: (24x2, Frame 1, Swallow "FvwmPager" "FvwmPager 0 0"
*FvwmBar: (1x2, Colorset 18, Frame 1)
*FvwmBar: (8x1, Colorset 18, Frame 1, Icon web.png, Action(mouse 1) `Exec exec firefox &`)
*FvwmBar: (8x1, Colorset 18, Frame 1, Icon home.png, Action(mouse 1) `Exec exec rox &`)
*FvwmBar: (8x1, Colorset 18, Frame 1, Icon terminal.png, Action(mouse 1) `Exec exec urxvt &`)
*FvwmBar: (8x1, Colorset 18, Frame 1, Icon editor.png, Action(mouse 1) `Exec exec gvim &`)
Module FvwmButtons -g 164x64+520-0 FvwmBar |
So, how do I get it as I want without breaking the appstarters? If I put the clock or the starterbar as 24x2 they'll end up under the apps no matter what settings I use, all apps are instantly moved too the top row and the clock/starterbar too the bottom row. What do I need too add or remove too get it all working? I'm confused at the moment, please bring me to clarity
TIA

Does someone knows a good program for quick launching an program?
Like you have in Kde or fluxbox (maybe also in other programs) when you click alt+f2 (or other combination) you get a small program, you enter the name of the program and it launches.
I liked the one in kde, so if someone knows the name of that program that would be really useful,
but if you know an other app that does just the same, it's fine for me too.
Thanks! |

Not a guru, but will try to help. First thing you should do is to define Columns, this way you can fully control your layout, because you know the exact position of each element. For example, this layout:
| Code: |
starterbar space pager space appstarters space clock space
------------------------------------------------------------------
|| Some | |____|____|____| | | |App| |App| |App| | | Clock ||
||starterbar | |____|____|____| | | |App| |App| |App| | | Date ||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
Can be fullfilled by:
| Code: |
DestroyModuleConfig FvwmBar: *
Style "FvwmBar" !Borders, NoHandles, NoTitle, Sticky, NeverFocus, FixedSize
*FvwmBar: Font "Shadow=1 1 SE:xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:style=Roman:size=8"
*FvwmBar: Colorset 18
*FvwmBar: Frame 1
*FvwmBar: Padding 0 0
*FvwmBar: Rows 2
*FvwmBar: Columns 50
*FvwmBar: (1x2, Colorset 18, Frame 1)
*FvwmBar: (24x2, Frame 1, Swallow "FvwmPager" "FvwmPager 0 0"
*FvwmBar: (1x2, Colorset 18, Frame 1)
*FvwmBar: (8x1, Colorset 18, Frame 1, Icon web.png, Action(mouse 1) `Exec exec firefox &`)
*FvwmBar: (8x1, Colorset 18, Frame 1, Icon home.png, Action(mouse 1) `Exec exec rox &`)
*FvwmBar: (8x1, Colorset 18, Frame 1)
*FvwmBar: (8x2, Colorset 18, Frame 1, Swallow 'FvwmClockAndDate' `FvwmScript FvwmClockAndDate`)
###Here you reach 50 columns, so from here on, fvwm will split this to the next row
*FvwmBar: (8x1, Colorset 18, Frame 1, Icon terminal.png, Action(mouse 1) `Exec exec urxvt &`)
*FvwmBar: (8x1, Colorset 18, Frame 1, Icon editor.png, Action(mouse 1) `Exec exec gvim &`)
*FvwmBar: (8x1, Colorset 18, Frame 1)
Module FvwmButtons -g 164x64+520-0 FvwmBar |
[/code]
You need to specify the columns so you can control where exactly the applications are swallowed like in this example, make sure that the number of columns match the sum of all the X components of all the elements in a row. There is a fvwmscript example also here, of course, adapt it to match the name of your script. |

-- Thomas Adam |
Im not sure if I understand this correctly... I thought that the "spam" that fvwm throws thru my vt was related to fvwm not being capable to find some kind of predefined fonts (wich I may not have since I compile Xorg without all the bitmap fonts).
I looked into the LocalePath command, but Im not sure what is it supposed to point to:
| Code: |
LocalePath path
Specifies a colon separated list of "locale path" in which to
search for string translation. A locale path is constituted by a
directory path and a text domain separated by a ";". As an exam-
ple the default locale path is:
/install_prefix/share/locale;fvwm
where install_prefix is the fvwm installation directory. With
such a locale path translation is searched in
/install_prefix/share/locale/lang/LC_MESSAGES/fvwm.mo
|
I supposed that the default setting should work fine here since I installed using portage. But just to clear, wouldn't the right LocalePath be "/usr" on a default Gentoo install?
Other thing, you are right, I'm pretty interested in the purpose in that variable that you suggested me to look into, but for now I have some other things in mind. Localization is a cool long term goal, but for now I have a spanglish local that does fine
Thanks for all your attention. |

No, I use a self made launcher that uses urxvt as a base, so I dont need another programs and I get autocompletion and history, since it is based in the bash shell, if you are interested:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-394486-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-rxvt.html
About these three, I dont use any but would go with gmrun. It is gtk2 and no deps at all. grun is gtk1 and bbrun is gtk2 but needs you to install blackbox to run (and is a bit crappy). Gmrun does fine and has history and tab autocompletion, and is, of course, themeable thru gtk2. |

No, I use a self made launcher that uses urxvt as a base, so I dont need another programs and I get autocompletion and history, since it is based in the bash shell, if you are interested:

About these three, I dont use any but would go with gmrun. It is gtk2 and no deps at all. grun is gtk1 and bbrun is gtk2 but needs you to install blackbox to run (and is a bit crappy). Gmrun does fine and has history and tab autocompletion, and is, of course, themeable thru gtk2. |
I think I will stick with gmrun for now, but do you know how I could start it in the center of the screen.
Also, I want it to have focus when started so I don't have to move the mouse over it first. |

| Look into GrabFocus and CenterPlacement in the Style command. |

Now that you told me about that... Does someone remember how to take off the title buttons of the launcher window, and only from that window? I think there was an easy way (other than making a different deco for that window) but never bothered with that and now I cant remember. Looked into Style options but cant seem to find anything suitable. Ill continue looking, but any info is appreciated.
Thanks. |

[/code]I used FPgrabFocus because this is newer I believe.
I also wonder how I can know the exact name I should use with style
for example: I want gvim always started fullscreen and I have this
| Code: | | Style *gvim* Icon 48x48/gvim.png, MiniIcon mini/gvim.png, EWMHMiniIconOverride, Maximize |
but this doesn't work, but it does work for other programs, so I think I give the wrong name to Style, but I can't seem to find the correct name. |
