FvwmButtons icon alignment

[binglerchand]

The old FvwmTaskBar module had the StartIcon option, which, if used, would tell the taskbar to display an icon next to the start button’s title.
I’m using Fvwm3 and I’m trying to write my own taskbar following the example on the wiki, but FvwmButtons doesn’t seem to have an equivalent to this StartIcon option. The Icon option places the icon above the text, and there’s no way to specify where the icon should be. The Title option does allow you to align the text, but it keeps the text under the icon no matter how you align it.

Is what I’m looking for possible?

I had a similar issue with Fvwm3:

FvwmButtons: title and icon do not play well together

Using Fvwm 3.0.6a (released) compiled from the Arch Linux AUR package, I have found an apparent problem with FvwmButtons. To bring things down to a minimal example, I want a FvwmButton (called “BtnTracker”) with a title “BAT” and a battery icon. Here is my code: DestroyModuleConfig BtnTracker:* *BtnTracker: Geometry 100x28+272+10 *BtnTracker: Columns 100 *BtnTracker: Rows 28 *BtnTracker: Back #fffff8 *BtnTracker: Fore #000000 *BtnTracker: Frame 0 *BtnTracker: Padding 10 2 *BtnTracker: Font "x…

Eventually I decided to create separate buttons side by side, one with the icon, another one with text.

I thought about doing that too, using containers. But the shading makes it too noticeable.
