The F? Virtual Window Manager (part 3)

That does works sometimes, but I have a very strange problem.

Sometimes this works and I get ncmpc opened in Eterm. But sometimes it opens en closes almost directly, do you know how this comes. It has nothing to do with the config I believe, because if I type this:

I found it myself.

there where a couple of ncmpc processes running and I think they caused the high cpu load.

So one more question. What options in fvwm are there for running a terminal without borders (Eterm in specific here)

And is rxvt better to use? Because I see a lot of fvwm user using this.

it's indeed .Xdefaults I use to change the things, but I found some urxvt configs myself. (but if you know any good places for changing .Xdefaults, I love to know)

Also, I found why ncmpc ate my cpu. I tried the command (Eterm -n test -e ncmpc) in a terminal and killed it with ctr+c, the terminal was killed but ncmpc stayed open, so this wasn't the correct way of closing it

As I am testing more it looks like maximize function does not work correctly

I have:

changed it, but I don't see any difference.

so do work but gvim and ncmpc work not

[tmske]

when I use xprop to see: I have ncmpc in command, icon_name, name. So I believe this is correct, In gvim this is also the same so I don't believe that is the problem

Edit: solved my problem, it was a very stupid problem actually. I just used the wrong functionname and so the fvwmEvent didn't do anything

Hi people. This might be interesting for many of you, I have been playing with a new right click menu that I did, it is dinamic and configurable in the same fashion that you can configure the "Open with" option of the rox file manager (by simply adding links, scripts or whatever you want into a folder), it can be used in conjunction with some kind of device panel to simply play a dvd or explore it with GQview, or mc, or open a folder with xmms (so all tracks into the folder and subs will be added to the playlist) or whatever you want it to do instead. It also can auto-add and use icons. Nothing great but too handy.

Hi all,

I have been trying to get rid of some fullscreen issues. Using

I was wondering if its possible to have scrolling desktops or the current page to act as a viewport onto one huge desktop with smooth sliding pixelwise movement between desktops (rather a sudden switch).

Eg. Bring your mouse to the bottom right corner edge, visiblle objects - icons and windows start to move north west as you drag the mouse against the south-east edge, your background - say, a map of your neighbourhood 2400x1800 moves under the pointer. Windows move across your screen.

I was thinking some new module may be required? I guess you grab all the windows and have them move on each edge event. But what about the background?

Am I alone in this?

I'd like to be able to resize a window using a keyboard shortcut, for exemple SomeKey would increase the width of a window by 100 pixels. However it seems the Resize command doesn't allow relative resizing (ie changing the size of a window relatively to its current size, rather than setting an absolute size). Is there a simple way to do this ? Or do I have to use some weird workaround using an environment variable to store the current window size ? The Move command for exemple permits relative movements by adding a + or - sign in front of the number (such as move +10 +10).

thank you it wasn't mentionned in the resize section of the man pages

I am terribly sorry for not reading the thread completely but I am very busy and I don't get hold of Internet too often. So any one please give me the configration file to make FVWM look like openbox or blackbox! I also have blackbox but it suxs.
