Icons don't appear at start

Configuration General Questions
1

Hi, when i start fvwm the icons in my fvwmbuttons modules don’t appear, they are in .png format, when i restart fvwm then they appear, is it something in my .fvwm2rc config file or a bug of fvwm?

Thanks :smiley:

It might be the manner you load your FvwmButtons module (i.e. on Restart, as opposed to Init). If fvwm logs to ~/.xsession-errors, it would be worth looking there. Failing that, post your config file somewhere for us to take a look at.

Is your ImagePath command below the module command the brings FvwmButtons?

A nice idea, but the order of one’s fvwm2rc file can be just that – in any order. Putting the ImagePath before or after a Module call, makes no odds.

Hi, thanks for answering me, here’s the part of my config about the fvwmbuttons

[code]AddToFunc StartFunction

  • I Module FvwmButtons -g 300x60+5+5 FvwmDock

DestroyModuleConfig FvwmDock: *

ImagePath $[fvwm_icon]+
[/code]

For the images i use another path no the one in the ImagePath part could that be the problem?

That config looked OK. I’d be inclined to add the path of these other images to the ImagePath for now, to see.
