FvwmScroll(1) 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 fvwm2(1), section MODULE COMMANDS) to
determine 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 .fvwmrc 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 inte-
ger 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 ModulePath con-
figuration option to attempt to locate FvwmScroll. Although nothing
keeps you from launching FvwmScroll at start-up time, you probably
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.
