FvwmIdent(1) Fvwm Modules FvwmIdent(1) NAME
FvwmIdent - the Fvwm identify-window module SYNOPSIS
FvwmIdent is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work. DESCRIPTION
The FvwmIdent module prompts the user to select a target window, if the module was not launched from within a window context in Fvwm. After that, it pops up a window with information about the window which was selected. COPYRIGHTS
The FvwmIdent program, and the concept for interfacing this module to the Window Manager, are all original work by Robert Nation and Nobu- taka Suzuki. Copyright 1994, Robert Nation and Nobutaka Suzuki. No guarantees or warranties or anything are provided or implied in any way whatsoever. Use this program at your own risk. Permission to use this program for any purpose is given, as long as the copyright is kept intact. INITIALIZATION
During initialization, FvwmIdent gets config info from fvwm's module configuration database (see fvwm(1), section MODULE COMMANDS) to determine which colors and font to use. If the FvwmIdent executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s FvwmIdent MoreIdentify, then another module called MoreIdentify can be started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmIdent, simply by changing the keyword FvwmIdent to MoreIdentify. This way mul- tiple clutter-reduction programs can be used. INVOCATION
FvwmIdent can be invoked by binding the action 'Module FvwmIdent' to a menu or key-stroke in the .fvwm2rc file. Fvwm will search directory specified in the ModulePath configuration option to attempt to locate FvwmIdent. Although nothing keeps you from launching FvwmIdent at start-up time, you probably don't want to. Clicking into the FvwmIdent window or pressing a key while it has focus closes FvwmIdent. Pressing mouse button 2 in the window restarts FvwmIdent and asks for a new window to select. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
FvwmIdent reads the same .fvwm2rc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for lines as listed below: *FvwmIdent: Colorset n Tells the module to use colorset n. See FvwmTheme. *FvwmIdent: Fore color Tells the module to use color instead of black for text. Switches off the Colorset option. *FvwmIdent: Back color Tells the module to use color instead of white for the window background. Switches off the Colorset option. *FvwmIdent: Font fontname Tells the module to use fontname instead of fixed for text. *FvwmIdent: MinimalLayer layer FvwmIdent places its window on the layer of a target window. But not below the minimal layer. By default, the minimal layer is 4 just like the fvwm default layer. If layer is 0, the layer of the target window is always used. If layer is "default" or not speci- fied, the default behavior is restored. If layer is "none", FvwmIdent is placed as a normal window even if the target window is above it. AUTHOR

FvwmIconBox - the FVWM iconbox module SYNOPSIS
FvwmIconBox is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work. DESCRIPTION
The FvwmIconBox module provides an icon manager. The user can do operations, like iconify and deiconify, for each icon shown in the module via mouse and keyboard. FvwmIconBox reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for lines similar to "*FvwmIconBoxFore green". COPYRIGHTS
The FvwmIconBox program is original work of Nobutaka Suzuki. Copyright 1994, Nobutaka Suzuki. No guarantees or warranties or anything are provided or implied in any way whatsoever. Use this program at your own risk. Permission to use this program for any purpose is given, as long as the copyright is kept intact. INITIALIZATION
During initialization, FvwmIconBox will eventually search a configuration file. The configuration file is the same file that fvwm used dur- ing initialization. If the FvwmIconBox executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s FvwmIconBox MoreIconBox, then another module called MoreIconBox can be started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmIconBox, simply by changing the keyword FvwmIconBox to MoreIconBox. This way multiple clutter-reduction programs can be used. INVOCATION
FvwmIconBox can be invoked by binding the action 'Module FvwmIconBox' to a menu or key-stroke in the .fvwmrc file. Fvwm will search direc- tory specified in the ModulePath configuration option to attempt to locate FvwmIconBox. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
FvwmIconBox reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for lines as listed below: *FvwmIconBoxFore color Tells the module to use color instead of white for the window foreground. This option affects only the foreground color of back- ground_bitmap specified in *FvwmIconBoxPixmap option described below. *FvwmIconBoxBack color Tells the module to use color instead of black for the window background. *FvwmIconBoxIconFore color Tells the module to use color instead of black for non-selected icon text. *FvwmIconBoxIconBack color Tells the module to use color instead of white for the non-selected icon background. *FvwmIconBoxIconHiFore color Tells the module to use color instead of black for selected icon text. *FvwmIconBoxIconHiBack color Tells the module to use color instead of white for the selected icon background. *FvwmIconBoxPixmap pixmap Tells the module to use pixmap for the window background_pixmap. *FvwmIconBoxFont fontname Tells the module to use fontname instead of fixed for text. *FvwmIconBoxSortIcons Tells the module to sort all icons in iconbox in alphabetical order. *FvwmIconBoxPadding number Specifies the number of pixels between icons. The default value is 5. *FvwmIconBoxPlacement primary secondary Specifies icon placement policy. primary and secondary can be Top, Bottom, Left and Right. The following eight combinations are available: primary secondary Left Top Left Bottom Right Top Right Bottom Top Left Top Right Bottom Left Bottom Right Top: Icons are placed from top to bottom. Bottom: Icons are placed from bottom to top. Left: Icons are placed from left to right. Right: Icons are placed from right to left. For example, when the placement is "Left Top", icons are placed from left to right, and new rows are added from top to bottom. The default vale is "Left Bottom". *FvwmIconBoxLines Specifies the number of icons placed in a line. If primary is Left or Right, this value specifies the number of columns. If primary is Top or Bottom, this value specifies the number of rows. For example, seven icons are placed in a row if *FvwmIconBoxLines is 7 and *FvwmIconBoxPlacement is "Left Top". The default value is 6. *FvwmIconBoxHideSC direction Specifies the undisplayed scroll bar . Direction can be either Horizontal or Vertical. *FvwmIconBoxGeometry <width>x<height>{+-}<X>{+-}<Y> Specifies the location and/or size of FvwmIconBox. width and height are measured in icons, not pixels. The default value is 6x1+0+0. *FvwmIconBoxMaxIconSize <width>x<height> Specifies the maximum size of icon bitmap. A bitmap larger than this size is clipped to this size. The default value is 48x48. *FvwmIconBoxMouse Button Action Response[, Response] Tells the module to do Responce when Action is done on button Button. Available Responsees are built-in commands in Fvwm (e.g. Iconify, Delete, Focus) and available Actions are Click and DoubleClick. *FvwmIconBoxKey Key Response[, Response] Tells the module to do Response when Key is pressed. Available Responcees are, besides Fvwm built-in commands, the following six FvwmIconBox built-in commands: Next, Prev, Left, Right, Up, and Down. Next: Change the hilited-icon to the next. Prev: Change the hilited-icon to the previous. Left: Move the slider of the horizontal scrollbar to left. Icons move to right accordingly. Right: Move the slider of the horizontal scrollbar to right. Icons move to left accordingly. Up: Move the slider of the vertical scrollbar to up. Icons move to down accordingly. Down: Move the slider of the vertical scrollbar to down. Icons move to up accordingly. *FvwmIconBox windowname bitmap-file Specifies the bitmap to be displayed in iconbox for windowname. Windowname can be window name, class name, or resource name. Win- downame can contain "*" and "?" like Fvwm configuration file. The bitmap-file is either the full path name to a bitmap file, or a file in the IconPath or PixmapPath. If bitmap-file is specefied to be "-", the icon for a window corresponding to windowname is not shown in the iconbox. SAMPLE CONFIGURATION
