FvwmScroll(1)                    FVWM Modules                    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  should  not be used with windows which move or resize them-
       selves, nor should it be  used  with  windows  which  set  the  WM_COL-
       ORMAP_WINDOWS property. Operation is fine with windows that have a pri-
       vate 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 gets config info from  fvwm's  module
       configuration database (see fvwm(1), section MODULE COMMANDS) to deter-
       mine which colors to use.

       If the FvwmScroll executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s  Fvwm-
       Scroll  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 .fvwm2rc file.  The parameter  x  and  y
       are  either  integers  or  integers  immediately followed by a p, which
       describe the horizontal and vertical size modification of  the  window.
       An  integer  describe  a  size  reduction.  An  integer followed by a p
       describe a size as a percentage of the height or the width  of  a  full
       screen  but  the size is never larger than the original window size (0p
       will do nothing). Fvwm will search  directory  specified  in  the  Mod-
       ulePath  configuration option to attempt to locate FvwmScroll. Although
       nothing keeps you from launching FvwmScroll at start-up time, you prob-
       ably don't want to.


CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       *FvwmScroll: Colorset n
              Tells the module to use colorset n. See FvwmTheme.


       *FvwmScroll: Back color
              Tells  the  module  to use color instead of black for the window
              background. Switches off the Colorset option.


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.
