You didn't read my last reply. I've gone and broken it and do not know how to fix it, unfortunately.

Could you give me the code for your thumbnails? Mine are pretty messed up

I've been taking care of a sick friend the last couple months so i'm rareyl on my comp, she is doing much better now so will probably be home tomorrow and can post my config. Sorry for such a late response.

Was told to post here so I am. I just discovered FVWM, here my shot and configs:

http://thinker-philosopher.deviantart.c … -115929381

The configs aren't really ready for general release (since I'm still tweaking them), but I suppose I can for others to mess around with. Don't worry, I'm trying to make things more efficient (I just discovered the "Swallow" command :-\).

Edit: "Was told ..." sentence

nice! can't believe you've only been using fvwm for a few days your config is good it only has a few redundant things but overall is great.

Thanks droog! I'm still toying with it and have done a lot of stuff since then :-D May post another shot in a day or two.

Thanks very much all :-D Here is my new config:

One day I'll edit my first config to be efficient :-\

You really want me to start messing around with my fvwm config again... But it's such a timesink

edit: timesink, not timesync

Can someone post me good working thumbnail code?

#### Thumbnails #####

DestroyFunc Thumbnail
AddToFunc Thumbnail

+ I ThisWindow (!Iconic) SetEnv Icon-$[w.id] $[w.iconfile]
+ I ThisWindow (!Shaded, Iconifiable, !Iconic) PipeRead \
"xwd -silent -id $[w.id] | convert -scale 100 -frame 1x1 \

&& echo WindowStyle IconOverride, Icon $[fvwm_home]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png \
|| echo Nop"
+ I Iconify

DestroyFunc DeThumbnail
AddToFunc DeThumbnail
+ I PipeRead "echo Test \\(i \\$\\[Icon-$[w.id]\\]\\) WindowStyle Icon \\$\\[Icon-$[w.id]\\]"
+ I TestRc (NoMatch) WindowStyle NoIconOverride, Icon

DestroyModuleConfig FvwmEvent:*
*FvwmEvent: Cmd
*FvwmEvent: deiconify DeThumbnail

But, you can surelly find something better on fvwm forum.

You will. The code you posted isn't even complete -- you don't even start FvwmEvent at any point. No, go see the forums, this implementation is old, and I am not prepared to waste my time fixing it.

Sorry Thomas
I did not said it was complete. I did not use anymore these function and I did not rewrite it for my new configuration. This is why you can see some error (like $[fvwm_home] ).
I think this post should be usefull heleos : http://fvwm.lair.be/viewtopic.php?f=38& … n&start=25

My FVWM config is almost complete (Complete means that I can start breaking it again ) But there are a couple snags I still have:

- Finally got thumbnails working, but I'd like to set a vertical size limit. On windows like pidgin's buddylist, the thumbnail is ~300px tall. Here is the code for thumbnailing... Maybe I can set a max height in here?

DestroyFunc Thumbnail
AddToFunc Thumbnail
+ I Raise
+ I SetEnv Icon-$[w.id] $[w.iconfile]
+ I ThisWindow (!Shaded, Iconifiable, !Iconic) PipeRead "xwd -silent -id $[w.id] | convert -scale $[fvwm_icon_size] -frame 1x1 -quality 0 xwd:- png:$[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png && echo WindowStyle IconOverride, Icon $[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png || echo Nop"
+ I TestRc (Match) Test (f $[HOME]/icons/$[w.miniiconfile]) PipeRead "composite -geometry +2+4 $[HOME]/icons/$[w.miniiconfile] $[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png $[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png && echo Nop || echo Beep"
+ I Iconify

- I cannot get a mouse function working properly. I want to be able to hold the titlebar to drag, but also doubleclick to maximize. I've tried, and it seems like I can't have both. Here is the code I have for the hold-to-move:

DestroyFunc UnMaximizeAndMove
AddToFunc UnMaximizeAndMove
+ H ThisWindow (Maximized, !Shaded) Maximize False
+ H Move

Trying to add "+ D Maximize $0 $1" to the above function didn't work. I'm guessing you can't have a hold and a doubleclick in the same function

Go read the options to "convert" -- it is possible.

You're wrong.

Why are you adding "$0" and "$1"? That's either going to do nothing, or put garbage to the Maximize command.

DestroyFunc UnMaximizeAndMove
AddToFunc UnMaximizeAndMove
+ H ThisWindow (Maximized, !Shaded) Maximize False
+ H Move
+ D Maximize

This doesn't work either. Attempting to double click just brings up the 'move' mouse icon for a split second

So increase your ClickTime then:

ClickTime 310

When I say it works, I mean, it works. If it doesn't for you, you've something else wrong, so using a pastebin for your entire config would help.

Hey... That works great. Thanks for the help and quick responses.

Here's mine - pixmaps ripped from Silent Night xfwm theme to suit GTK, no fancy buttons or menu things 'cause I'm still learning to configure fvwm and want to have my own config.

I don't have mine but am very curious about its look. From what I noticed - there are very few folks in the world who use FVWM... :-)
