Your FvwmButtons’s LaunchTime could be animated with ActiveIcon. It’s really trendy! :wink:

Hi, 6thpink, Thank you for your fvwm configuration file.

I copied them to my .fvwm. But it didn’t work as I imaged.

Here’s the first problems:

  1. There’s no transparency effect. All fvwmbutton(top one and right one) shows grey. Nothing on it. What may cause it?

Cos I’m new with fvwm config, Thank you for your patient. I’m struggle with it right now.

PS: I’ve seen one of your screenshot, It’s fabulous. IT’s the grey left bar with black bottom bar, and black theme. It’s really amazing.

I got the reason. I didn’t patch the transparent patch.

Here’s another problem:

I got some icons from fvwm-crystal. It contain 22x22 32x32 48x48 sizes icons, how can I add it to fvwm? just add it’s path? the directory structure is below:

$[fvwm_icons]/22x22/
$[fvwm_icons]/32x32/
$[fvwm_icons]/48x48/

If I mere add it as this, then how to use different size of icon? Would please give me one simple example? Thanks a lot.

I’m confused now. I’m using fvwm-2.5.21 in ubuntu. but the patch is for 2.5.8.

And I downloaded a fvwm-2.5.24 package. Is there any necessary to patch for translucent?

Well, this is really really old stuff. I posted this on Jan 2005, three years ago, wow.

Are you using a wallpaper? If you don’t have one then everything will be grey just like the background for X. Or maybe your wallpaper is too uniform, and you don’t notice the transparence. Try locating the Colorsets for those fvwmbuttons on the config and changing the colours and the tint value.

It’s been 3 years since I made this stuff, but it should work nonetheless.

Mmmmm, don’t know what do you mean. There is a translucency patch, but it is only menu related stuff. Tinting in fvwmbuttons should work without any patch.

Fvwm will search for icons on any dir that is on your ImagePath. Look the fvwm man page to know what ImagePath is.

I am not sure what do you mean. Icon in png or xpm format have a proper size, and you can’t change it. If you are using the latest fvwm, you can use svg icons as well. Svg icons are resizable. All the details are in the man page, but a simple example would be:

[code]image.svg:60x60
[/quote]
Instead of image.png or whatever in the correct place (menu item declaration, fvwmbuttons icons…).

As said above, you don’t need anything special for panels on any recent version. You still need a patch for translucent menus. But the old patches do not work with recent versions. Visit my site, there are some fvwm files around there:

jesgue.homelinux.org/fvwm-files/index.php

In the latest patchsets you should find the translucency patch for newer fvwm versions. But, again: this is just for menus. You don’t need anything for panels.

To tell the truth, I did not forget it because, in first place, I never knew it existed :laughing:

Hi,6thpink, Thank you for your patient reply. I’ve been studied on these config files–which structure are great–for hours. Many problems were gone. I got some ideas about how fvwm works, the difference between transparent and translucency.

Now, I’m using translucency menu now. I’ve downloaded and install a patched fvwm, it works fine. The next step is make it eye-candy.

I can not visit your website. I dont know the reason. Do you have other site?

thanks again

No idea. I just asked someone else to try it remotely and it seems to work. I can acess it from the intranet using local names and internet ones… Maybe it is just some DNS issue, some server in the middle must be acting weirdly. You can try later and see if it works.

I got that bored I decided to try for myself. It’s dead.

Well, that is normal, since my firewall will block pings.

I am completely sure the web is accessible since other people from a completely different network on my country can view it normally.

Useful.

It’s intermittent here – the routing to it is utterly buggered for some server in Spain it seems. It’s also incredibly slow to reach. Nevermind though.

I finally got yours through tor. :slight_smile: It’s really good.

Hi,6thpink,I’m using your config now, It’s really amazing and I love it.thanks a lot.

Here’s some problems:

1.wine emule doesn’t run, I’ve install wine and emule well and the path is right. I can run it under command line from xterm(terminals).

I guess maybe some error exists in follow instructions.

Test (r "$[HOME]/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/eMule/emule.exe") + "eMule%mldonkey.svg:$[icon_size]%" parse_menu "p2p" "wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/eMule/emule.exe"
2.Icon size problem , each time I restart fvwm, the icon becomes huge,maybe 64x64 or larger, but other setting eg:language selection are working.

16

AS long as the paths are ok it should run. This config is very old and the panel stuff was way too complex for me to look at it right now. If it doesn’t run, look at the logs and examine the value of the variables, I don’t have that config at hand right know and can’t be any more concrete right now. Probably the problem is in some quotation.

If you took the config from my repositories at jesgue.homelinux.org, make sure you picked the latest version of that config… Even then, there is absolutely no guarantee that it will be bug free. This is old stuff and it is long since I stopped maintaining it.

Icons for…? panels, menus or what?

Maybe it is some problem with the icon_size variable. Track the config files and make sure that that var is initialized before it is used, and that the value is correct. I think that its value was stored into a file somewhere in a subdirectory under ~/.fvwm/, the name of the file should be icon_size or something like that, but I don’t really remember about this stuff anymore.

17

Menu Icons problem, I’ve solved it.

I’m becoming familiar with these config files even there still many pazzles, it’s really amazing.

I tried your newest ng versatile one, But I supposed that it’s not mature enough to the last one(black theme) which is my favor, it’s really cool. There are some new features of new ng got my attention, I’ll keep eye on it.

Last, thank you for your endless efforts to provide us such fvwm arts.

18

I don’t know if you are still active, but I want to thank you for this config. I think I would have given up on fvwm without it.

We appreciate you your fvwm configuration file.

I copied the crooks to my .fvwm. But it really didn’t are I imaged.

Here’s the primary problems:

  1. There is not any transparency effect. All fvwmbutton(top one and right one) shows grey. Nothing thereon. What might cause it?

Cos I’m new with fvwm config, I appreciate you for your patient. I’m battle with it at this time.

PS: I have seen one of the screenshot, It’s fabulous. It is the grey left bar with black bottom bar, and black theme. This is amazing.
