About MwmDecor

Configuration Decorations and bindings

Hi

I am using the MwmDecor style option for every window, so that I don’t have to cope with titlebars on xmms and others!

I defined some MwmDecor* buttons but there is something that I find annoying as a hell, on certain transient windows (i.e. the font color in ooffice) the close button is not displayed, only window menu button is displayed. This is definitively annoying and I do not know how to force it to be displayed (what is what I would like). Moreover, no MwmDecor* button style has been defined for this button…

Any idea?

Best regards, Brice

Are you referring to this:

Style * DecorateTransient

There are conditions where a transient window (even with the above supplied) will set various hints for a window NOT to show buttons that a DecoratedTransient window normally would.

Hi

I am not referring to this my transient windows have titlebar but they miss the close button.

Here is my config:

[code]Style * Font “Shadow=0 1 SE:xft:Sans:style=Bold:pixelsize=11”, OLDecor, HandleWidth $[HW]
Style * Colorset 0, HilightColorset 1, MwmDecor, MwmFunctions, BorderWidth $[BW], HintOverride
Style * IconBox 84 80 884 100, IconGrid 80 80, IconFill right top, IconBox 264 660 884 680, IconGrid 80 80, IconFill right top
Style * WindowShadeSteps 0, DecorateTransient

  • ButtonStyle 1 - MwmDecorMenu
  • ButtonStyle 3 - MwmDecorMax
  • ButtonStyle 4 - MwmDecorMax
  • ButtonStyle 5 - MwmDecorMax
  • ButtonStyle 6 - MwmDecorMin
    [/code]

Button 1: menu, 2: close, 3: max vertically, 4: max, 5: max horizontally, 6: iconify

Only the menu button is displayed on certain transient window (another example is the about window of xmms). I tried to put MwmDecorMenu for the second button but it didn’t change something.
Moreover if I removed this definitions (MwmDecor* buttonstyle), the buttons 2 and 4 are not displayed, the others are.

I am definitively getting headaches…

Can you be a little more specific? That is, post your whole config, and a screenshot?

Hi

eeeuuuuhhhhhhhhh how to say that, my config is a monolithic file (more than 1800 lines with the comments), so eventually I can cut and paste it but for the screenshot, I don’t have any way of putting something online… so no idea for that!

Best regards, Brice

It’s amazing what sleep does. As Tavis mentioned look at the NoFuncHint option.

the trick of taviso do not work…

NoFuncHint is the opposite of MwmFunctions, but the buttons are managed by MwmDecor.

So at the moment, I don t see the purpose of MwmFunctions.

I try to post a screenshot this evening.

Here it is:

when the MwmDecor are activated as well as the MwmFunctions:

when I comment out the MwmDecor* button style I get

:blush: I was too fast… sorry

If I remove the style MwmFunctions, MwmDecor I get the 6 buttons on these windows but of course I will have to defined thousands of custom states for specific applications.

If either MwmDecor or MwmFunctions is specified I have the first example.

Best regards,

Brice

I got it!!! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I took time to look at the default Fvwm95 config, and the trick is:

[code]+ ButtonStyle 1 - Clear MwmDecorMenu

  • ButtonStyle 2 - Clear
  • ButtonStyle 3 - Clear MwmDecorMax
  • ButtonStyle 4 - Clear MwmDecorMax
  • ButtonStyle 5 - Clear MwmDecorMax
  • ButtonStyle 6 - Clear MwmDecorMin
    [/code]

so add this “clear” style to the buttonstyle! Now, I have this menu button and the close button on the windows subject to MwmFunctions, so so so cool!!!

Cheers, Brice

I’m having the same issue:

Style * MWMFunctions, MWMDecor
Style * DecorateTransient

Transient windows don’t have the decor buttons (close). The problem is with transient windows that don’t have a close/ok button.

How do I add the Clear flag to these settings?

DestroyDecor Default
AddToDecor Default
+ TitleStyle LeftJustified Height 32
+ TitleStyle Colorset 3 -- Flat
+ ButtonStyle 1 AllActive (MiniIcon) AllInactive (MiniIcon)
+ ButtonStyle 2 ActiveUp (Pixmap $[infostore.mDecors]/$[infostore.mDecor]/close_active_up.png) \
                ActiveDown (Pixmap $[infostore.mDecors]/$[infostore.mDecor]/close_active_down.png) \
                Inactive (Pixmap $[infostore.mDecors]/$[infostore.mDecor]/close_inactive.png) \
+ ButtonStyle 4 ActiveUp (Pixmap $[infostore.mDecors]/$[infostore.mDecor]/max_active_up.png) \
                ActiveDown (Pixmap $[infostore.mDecors]/$[infostore.mDecor]/max_active_down.png) \
                Inactive (Pixmap $[infostore.mDecors]/$[infostore.mDecor]/max_inactive.png)
+ ButtonStyle 6 ActiveUp (Pixmap $[infostore.mDecors]/$[infostore.mDecor]/min_active_up.png) \
                ActiveDown (Pixmap $[infostore.mDecors]/$[infostore.mDecor]/min_active_down.png) \
                Inactive (Pixmap $[infostore.mDecors]/$[infostore.mDecor]/min_inactive.png)
+ ButtonStyle All -- Flat UseTitleStyle
+ BorderStyle Colorset 3 -- Flat HiddenHandles NoInset

Thanks!

Edit: this works

+ ButtonStyle 2 - Clear
