FVWM-THEMES-START(1) General Commands Manual FVWM-THEMES-START(1)NAME
fvwm-themes-start - FVWM Themes starter
SYNOPSIS
fvwm-themes-start [ --session|-s name ] [ --no-start|-n ] [ --fvwm-exe|-e ] [ -- fvwm-args ]
DESCRIPTION
This script runs fvwm with FVWM Themes. It should be run under X. Put a call to this script as the last line of your .Xclients, .xinitrc
or .xsession file.
OPTIONS --session name - name of the FVWM Themes session. By default it is "main". This allows to have and run different FVWM Themes configuration.
--no-start - do not start fvwm, just do preparation for starting it. This is useful to start FVWM Themes with a session manager, see FAQ.
--fvwm-exe - changes the default executable, which is fvwm or whatever fvwm-config --fvwm-exe returns.
-- everything after -- is passed to FVWM. See the fvwm(1) man page for the fvwm options.
EXAMPLES
Most users just should put:
fvwm-themes-start
as the last line of their .Xclients, .xinitrc or .xsession file. If you want to use FVWM Themes with a real session manager, say GNOME,
you need to use the --no-start option and put:
fvwm-themes-start --no-start
gnome-session
as the last lines of your .Xclients, .xinitrc or .xsession file. The session option allows to use FVWM Themes with different configura-
tions. Say, you want to use 3 different configurations under a normal FVWM session when FOO test is false, under gnome-session and under a
normal FVWM session when FOO test is true. Then, your .xinitrc/.xsession file may look as follows (where $1 is the "first" argument given
by startx, or by kdm or gdm ...):
...
case $1 in
fvwm)
if FOO; Then
fvwm-themes-start --session special
else
fvwm-themes-start
fi
;;
gnome)
fvwm-themes-start --session gnome --no-start
gnome-session
;;
... other cases ...
esac
Note that with most session managers (e.g., GNOME or XSM) it is preferable to give "fvwm -f themes-rc" as the starting window manager com-
mand in the session manager.
