Can't allign buttons Left and Right (FvwmButtons)

Configuration General Questions
1

The man pages says you just need to type Left or Right to allign the contents of a button:

*FvwmDock: (60x5, Title Start, Frame 1, Left, Action (Mouse 1) Menu MenuFvwmRoot Rectangle +0+840 0 0m)

But it is still just placed in the center.

Any ideas?

What you have listed above doesn’t show anything being swallowed into the button. If you mean you want the title aligned to the left, try:

FvwmDock: (60x5, Title Left "Start", Frame 1, Left, Action (Mouse 1) Menu MenuFvwmRoot Rectangle +0+840 0 0m)

If I type what you wrote:

*FvwmDock: (60x5, Title Left "Start", Frame 1, Left, Action (Mouse 1) Menu MenuFvwmRoot Rectangle +0+840 0 0m)

Left is just typed in the center of the button.

That’s my fault. I forgot the brackets:

*FvwmDock: (60x5, Title (Left) "Start", Frame 1, Left, Action (Mouse 1) Menu MenuFvwmRoot Rectangle +0+840 0 0m)

But you never said whether you actually meant the title to be justified, or a swallowed window in the button. I’m assuming the former.
