FvwmWinList(1)                   FVWM Modules                   FvwmWinList(1)



NAME
       FvwmWinList - the FVWM window list module

SYNOPSIS
       FvwmWinList [name]

       FvwmWinList  is  spawned  by  fvwm,  so no command line invocation will
       work.


DESCRIPTION
       The FvwmWinList module provides a window list made up of buttons,  each
       corresponding  to a window that FVWM is managing.  Clicking on the but-
       tons with any of the three mouse  buttons  will  either  do  a  default
       action  or can be user configured.  Like the other modules, FvwmWinList
       only works when fvwm is used as the window manager.


COPYRIGHTS
       The FvwmWinList module is the original work of Mike Finger.

       Copyright 1994, Mike Finger. The author makes  no  guarantees  or  war-
       ranties  of any kind about the use of this module.  Use this modules at
       your own risk.  You may freely use this module or any portion of it for
       any purpose as long as the copyright is kept intact.


INITIALIZATION
       During  initialization, FvwmWinList gets config info from fvwm's module
       configuration database (see fvwm(1), section MODULE COMMANDS).   Avail-
       able options are discussed in a later section.


INVOCATION
       FvwmWinList  can  be invoked by fvwm during initialization by inserting
       the line 'Module FvwmWinList' in the .fvwm2rc file.

       FvwmWinList can also be bound to a keystroke,  mouse  button,  or  menu
       option  to be invoked later, in this case using 'Transient' as an argu-
       ment will cause FvwmWinList to resemble the built in window list.


CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       *FvwmWinList: Geometry {+-}<X>{+-}<Y>
              Specifies the location and gravity of  the  FvwmWinList  window.
              At  the current time, size is not supported and FvwmWinList will
              resize itself as buttons are added.  If the NoAnchor  option  is
              not  specified then the windows gravity corner will be anchored,
              and the window will grow in the opposite  direction.   (i.e.  If
              the  geometry  is specified -5-5, that is SoutEastGravity.  This
              will cause the window to draw up and to the left as windows  are
              added)


       *FvwmWinList: Font font
              Specifies the font to be used for labeling the buttons.


       *FvwmWinList: Colorset n
              Specifies  the  colorset  to use for the buttons. See FvwmTheme.
              Defaults to 0.


       *FvwmWinList: Fore color
              Specifies the  color  to  use  for  the  button  names.  Cancels
              *FvwmWinList: Colorset.


       *FvwmWinList: Back color
              Specifies  the color for the buttons. Cancels *FvwmWinList: Col-
              orset.


       *FvwmWinList: FocusColorset n
              Specifies the colorset to use for the button for the window that
              has the input focus. Defaults to 1.


       *FvwmWinList: FocusFore color
              Specifies  the  color to use for the button names for the window
              that has the input focus. If omitted, the color  from  *FvwmWin-
              List: Fore is used. Cancels *FvwmWinList: FocusColorset.


       *FvwmWinList: FocusBack color
              Specifies  the  color  to use for the button for the window that
              has the input focus. If omitted, the  color  from  *FvwmWinList:
              Back is used. Cancels *FvwmWinList: FocusColorset.


       *FvwmWinList: IconColorset n
              Specifies  the  colorset to use for buttons for windows that are
              iconified. Defaults to 0.


       *FvwmWinList: IconFore color
              Specifies the color to use for the button names for windows that
              are  iconified. If omitted, the color from *FvwmWinList: Fore is
              used. Cancels *FvwmWinList: IconColorset.


       *FvwmWinList: IconBack color
              Specifies the color to use for the button for windows  that  are
              iconified.  If  omitted,  the  color  from *FvwmWinList: Back is
              used. Cancels *FvwmWinList: IconColorset.


       *FvwmWinList: DontDepressFocus
              By default FvwmWinList will show the button for the window  that
              has  the  input  focus  as pressed in. This option disables that
              feature.


       *FvwmWinList: ButtonFrameWidth width
              Specify the width of  the  3D  borders  around  the  buttons  in
              FvwmWinList.


       *FvwmWinList: FollowWindowList
              Specifies  that FvwmWinList will keep its list in the same order
              as FVWM.   This  is  the  order  displayed  by  the  "WindowList
              NoDeskSort" FVWM command.  This is not the default as it is more
              visually disturbing when the focus changes.


       *FvwmWinList: UseSkipList
              Tells FvwmWinList to not show the windows that are listed  on  a
              WindowListSkip line in the configuration file.


       *FvwmWinList: ShowCurrentDesk
              Specifies that only windows on the current desk are displayed.


       *FvwmWinList: NoAnchor
              By  default,  FvwmWinList  will anchor the gravity corner so the
              window will grow in the opposite direction.   This  undoes  that
              option,  i.e. the window will always grow down.  Do not use this
              option if a negative geometry was specified.


       *FvwmWinList: UseIconNames
              Tells FvwmWinList to use the icon name of the window instead  of
              the  full  window name.  This is useful to keep the width of the
              window small.


       *FvwmWinList: LeftJustify
              By default, FvwmWinList will center the icon text in  the  icon.
              This  option  causes it to be justified flush with the left edge
              of the icon. This option is turned on when MiniIcons are used.


       *FvwmWinList: MinWidth width

       *FvwmWinList: MaxWidth width
              Specify the minimum and maximum widths  that  the  buttons  will
              shrink  or  grow  to.  The buttons will normally size to fit the
              longest name, but certain applications produce icon titles  that
              can easily fill the screen.  Setting these parameters constrains
              the size of the buttons to be between the two  values.   Setting
              them  identically will fix the size of the buttons.  Setting Max
              < Min will have unpredictable results.


       *FvwmWinList: TruncateLeft
              If names get truncated because of the  setting  of  FvwmWinList:
              MaxWidth, they will normally get truncated on the right, so only
              the start of the names are visible. Setting this  resource  will
              cause  them  to  get  truncated  on the left, so that the end of
              names are visible. This is useful when the window title contains
              a directory and file name, for example.


       *FvwmWinList: Action action response
              Tells  FvwmWinList to do response when action is done.  The cur-
              rently supported actions are: Click1, Click2, Click3 and so  on.
              By  default  the  module supports 3 mouse buttons, but it can be
              compiled to support more.  The currently supported responses are
              any  fvwm  built-in  commands,  including modules and functions.
              Warning: The use of the former syntax that allowed to use  comma
              separated  lists of commands is strongly discouraged due to syn-
              chronization problems with fvwm.  Please use complex fvwm  func-
              tions instead (defined with the 'AddToFunc' command of fvwm).


       *FvwmWinList: NoIconAction action
              Tells  FvwmWinList to do action is when a NoIcon style window is
              iconified or de-iconified. Relevant coordinates are appended  to
              action  so that the icon can be traced to an FvwmWinList button.
              An example action is  "*FvwmWinList:  NoIconAction  SendToModule
              FvwmAnimate  animate". A blank or null action turns this feature
              off.
