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  Nobutaka
       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 deter-
       mine which colors and font to use.

       If the FvwmIdent executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s  FvwmI-
       dent  MoreIdentify,  then  another  module  called  MoreIdentify can be
       started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmIdent, sim-
       ply by changing the keyword  FvwmIdent to MoreIdentify. This way multi-
       ple 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  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
              specified, the default behavior is restored. If layer is "none",
              FvwmIdent is placed as a normal window even if the target window
              is above it.
