FvwmWharf(1) FvwmWharf(1)
NAME
FvwmWharf - the AfterStep application "dock" module ported to Fvwm.
SYNOPSIS
FvwmWharf is spawned by Fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.
DESCRIPTION
The FvwmWharf module is a free-floating application loader that can
execute programs, "Swallow" running programs, and contain "Folders" of
more applications, among other things. The user can press the first
button at any time to trigger invocation of one of these functions, or
the user can press button two in order to cause the entire Wharf to
withdraw to the nearest corner in an iconified state. FvwmWharf only
works when Fvwm is used as the window manager.
COPYRIGHTS
The FvwmWharf module is copyright 1995 and 1996 by a variety of con-
tributors. They are, in alphabetical order, Beat Christen, Frank
Fejes, Alfredo Kenji Kojima, Dan Weeks, and Bo Yang
The GoodStuff program, and the concept for interfacing this module to
the Window Manager, are all original work by 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, FvwmWharf gets config info from fvwm's module
configuration database (see fvwm2(1), section MODULE COMMANDS) to
obtain a description of button panel geometry, color, icons, and
actions.
If the FvwmWharf executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s
FvwmWharf Pier, then another module called Pier can be started, with a
completely different configuration than FvwmWharf, simply by changing
the keywords FvwmWharf... to Pier.... This way multiple button-bars can
be used.
INVOCATION
FvwmWharf should be invoked in the same way as other Fvwm modules.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
*FvwmWharfAnimate
If specified, the opening and closing of Folders will be ani-
mated, rather than simply drawn in one frame.
*FvwmWharfAnimateMain
Designates that full-length Wharf windows will be animated.
*FvwmWharfBgColor color
If *FvwmWharfTextureType 0 is specified, FvwmWharf's buttons
will be filled with color.
*FvwmWharfColorset colorset
Tells the module to use colorset colorset for the background of
all buttons. This option disables the options 'BgColor', 'Tex-
tureType' and 'TextureColor' if specified after these and is
disabled by them if used before any of them in the configura-
tion. Please refer to the man page of the FvwmTheme module for
details about colorsets.
*FvwmWharfColumns columns
Specifies the number of columns of buttons to be created. If
unspecified, the number of columns will be set to 1. If the
columns are set to a number greater than 1 then there will be
that number of columns with enough rows to satisfy the requested
number of buttons.
*FvwmWharfForceSize
If specified, will force pixmaps larger than 64x64 to the
default size. Pixmaps smaller than 64x64 are not supported.
*FvwmWharfFullPush
If specified, the entire FvwmWharf button background will be
moved down and to the right when pushed. Especially useful with
*FvwmWharfNoBorder textures.
*FvwmWharfGeometry geometry
Specifies the FvwmWharf window location and/or size. If the size
is not specified, FvwmWharf will auto-size itself in a reason-
able manner. The geometry is a standard X11 window geometry
specification. This option is pre-set in the Nextstep(tm) style
section for a consistent look and feel with NEXTSTEP(tm). Sec-
ondary FvwmWharf invocations from links may have their own geom-
etry.
*FvwmWharfMaxColors number
Specifies the maximum number of colors to use on a gradient
fill.
*FvwmWharfNoBorder
Denotes that beveled borders should not be drawn around the
FvwmWharf button. Useful with textures that include their own
bevels.
*FvwmWharfPixmap pixmap
Sets the pixmap file to be used as FvwmWharf's button. To be
used with *FvwmWharfTextureType 128.
*FvwmWharfTextureColor from to
When used with a *FvwmWharfTextureType of 1 to 5, designates the
ends of the gradient range to be used on FvwmWharf's buttons.
*FvwmWharfTextureType type
Specifies the type of gradient fill to be used on FvwmWharf's
buttons. Valid values are:
0 - No texture - use FvwmWharfBgColor to set the desired color
1 - Gradient from upper-left to lower right
2 - Horizontal one way gradient from top to bottom
3 - Horizontal cylindrical gradient from top/bottom to center
4 - Vertical one way gradient from left to right
5 - Vertical cylindrical gradient from left/right to center
128 - User specified pixmap
The default is the builtin FvwmWharf texture pixmap.
*FvwmWharf label icon command
Specifies a window manager built-in command or folder to acti-
vate (folders will be discussed below), as described in the Fvwm
man page, which should be executed when a button is pressed. The
label field is an internal item that is still around from the
GoodStuff module. The icon field specifies an X11 bitmap file,
XPM color icon file, or a comma-delimited set of pixmaps con-
taining the icon(s) to display on the button. FvwmWharf will
search through the path specified in the ImagePath configuration
item to find the icon file.
NOTE: Icons must have one transparent pixel or the definition of
a transparent color in order to be valid.
If command is an Fvwm Exec command, then the button will appear
pushed in until the mouse button is released.
A single extension to the Fvwm built-in command set is provided.
A command of the form:
*FvwmWharf junk clock.xpm Swallow "Clock" asclock -shape -12
will cause FvwmWharf to spawn an asclock process, and capture
the first window whose name or resource is "Clock", and display
it in the button-bar. This is handy for applications like
xclock, xbiff, xload, asclock, and asmail.
Modules can be swallowed by specifying the word Module:
*FvwmWharf pager nil Swallow "Desktop" Module FvwmPager 0 0
NOTE: if you use xclock for this application, you will want to
specify xclock -padding 0.
Swallow option tries to force an application to be 48 by 48 pix-
els. A special option MaxSwallow can be used to leave an appli-
cation at its own size (but less then 64x64). MaxSwallow is
invoked the same way Swallow is. If you want an application to
fill all the button place, you should start it with a proper
geometry flag, like "xload -g 64x64" or, if you want to leave a
3d-look: "xload -g 60x60".
Note, not all applications are good for swallowing, some can't
be resized at all, some can't be resized exactly to 48x48 or
64x64, you are responsible for choosing suitable applications to
be swallowed.
To create folder "slide-outs" in FvwmWharf the following format
must be used:
*FvwmWharf files Folders.xpm Folder
*FvwmWharf xftp 3DRings.xpm Exec xftp
*FvwmWharf xdir FolderDeposit.xpm Exec xdir
*FvwmWharf moxfm FilingCabinet.xpm Exec moxfm
*FvwmWharf ~Folders
The first line of this set tells FvwmWharf that this button def-
inition will be a folder. All of the button definitions between
the Folder and the line with the definition of *FvwmWharf ~Fold-
ers will appear on the "files" folder when it is exposed. To
expose the "files" folder simply click on the FvwmWharf button
with the Folders.xpm icon showing. A button bar will appear
perpendicular to your FvwmWharf bar and toward the center of the
screen. On this smaller bar will be the three icons that were
configured between the Folder and ~Folder parts of the FvwmWharf
configuration. As many folder buttons may be configured as is
room on your screen. The only items that may not be configured
within folders are Swallowed applications and more folders.
DRAG AND DROP
FvwmWharf supports the OffiX Drag and Drop standard. In order to have
Drag and Drop enabled on a particular button, the following syntax must
be adhered to:
*FvwmWharf nil nil DropExec "program" program %s
*FvwmWharf program iconname Exec "program" program
The button will call program when pushed. If a file is dragged onto
into it, program will be called with %s being replaced by the dropped
filename.
