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 fvwm2(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 .fvwmrc 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.
FvwmWinList must reside in a directory that is listed in the ModulePath
option of FVWM for it to be executed by FVWM.
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-
ListFore 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 FvwmWinListBack
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 FvwmWinListFore 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 FvwmWinListBack 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.
