FvwmBacker(1)						      General Commands Manual						     FvwmBacker(1)

NAME

       FvwmBacker - the FVWM background changer module

SYNOPSIS

       FvwmBacker is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.

DESCRIPTION

       The  FvwmBacker	module	provides functionality to change the background when changing desktops.  Any command can be executed to change the
       backgrounds.  The commands used to change the backgrounds must exit after changing the root window, (i.e.  'xv  -root  zzz.gif'	does  not,
       without the -quit option) otherwise FvwmBacker will hang.

COPYRIGHTS

       The FvwmBacker module is the original work of Mike Finger.

       Copyright  1994,  Mike  Finger. The author makes no guarantees or warranties of any kind about the use of this module.  Use this modules at
       your own risk.  You may freely use this module or any portion of it for any purpose as long as the copyright is kept intact.

INITIALIZATION

       During initialization, FvwmBacker will scan the same configuration file that FVWM used during startup to find the options that  pertain	to
       it.  These options are discussed in a later section.

INVOCATION

       FvwmBacker can be invoked by fvwm during initialization by inserting the line 'Module FvwmBacker' in the .fvwmrc file.

       FvwmBacker must reside in a directory that is listed in the ModulePath option of FVWM for it to be executed by FVWM.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       The follow option is the only only support at present

       *FvwmWinListDesk DeskNumber command
	      Specifies the command to execute when the specified DeskNumber becomes active.

	      If  the  command	begins	with -solid FvwmBacker uses the next argument as a color in the X database and sets the background to that
	      color without generating a system call to xsetroot. Only single word color names may be used.

SAMPLE CONFIGURATION

       The following are excepts from a .fvwmrc file which describe FvwmBacker initialization commands:

       ####
       # Set Up Backgrounds for different desktops.
       ####
       *FvwmBackerDesk 0 -solid steelblue
       *FvwmBackerDesk 1 -solid midnightblue
       *FvwmBackerDesk 2 -solid yellow
       *FvwmBackerDesk 3 xpmroot /usr/include/X11/pixmaps/background2.xpm
