FvwmScroll(1) General Commands Manual FvwmScroll(1) NAME
FvwmScroll - the FVWM scroll-bar module SYNOPSIS
FvwmScroll is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work. DESCRIPTION
The FvwmScroll 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 adds scroll bars to the selected window, to reduce the total desktop space consumed by the window. FvwmScroll reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for lines similar to "*FvwmScrollFore green". FvwmScroll should not be used with windows which move or resize themselves, nor should it be used with windows which set the WM_COL- ORMAP_WINDOWS property. Operation is fine with windows that have a private colormap. COPYRIGHTS
The FvwmScroll program, and the concept for interfacing this module to the Window Manager, are all original work by Robert Nation. Copyright 1994, Robert Nation. 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, FvwmScroll will eventually search a configuration file which describes the colors to use. The configuration file is the same file that fvwm used during initialization. If the FvwmScroll executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s FvwmScroll MoreScroll, then another module called MoreScroll can be started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmScroll, simply by changing the keyword FvwmScroll to MoreScroll. INVOCATION
FvwmScroll can be invoked by binding the action 'Module FvwmScroll x y' to a menu or key-stroke in the .fvwmrc file. The parameter x and y are integers, which describe the horizontal and vertical window size reduction. Fvwm will search directory specified in the ModulePath configuration option to attempt to locate FvwmScroll. Although nothing keeps you from launching FvwmScroll at start-up time, you probably don't want to. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
FvwmScroll reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for lines as listed below: *FvwmScrollFore color Tells the module to use color instead of grey for scroll bars themselves. *FvwmScrollBack color Tells the module to use color instead of black for the window background. BUGS
When the scroll bars are removed by clicking on the button in the lower right corner, the window does not restore its location correctly. AUTHOR

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
