–Taskbar w/ mpd, pager, applaunch icons, menu button, time/calendar
–Updated menu with icons (messing with this more this weekend)
–xcompmgr installed and executed on start up to give bad ass drop shadows and translucent fading effects when windows are closed and opened (requires accelerated graphics card w. appropriate drivers)
–Menu uses PEM’s wallpaper-menu-browser
–Thumbnail icon revisions
I am not posting the config because its a mess with some of the random stuff I have been messing with and I will be heavily modifying it on Saturday morning. I hope you like what you see in the screen shot.
In progress:
FVWM CLOSE BUTTON
FVWM THEME SELECTOR for menu
Hopefully figure out how to round the corners of my window decor
Creating a function using transset to make non-focused windows translucent
adding 2 more window decors (different min,max,close buttons)
redesigning menu to be more efficient
adding (Test)'s to test for a larger number of applications to make the menu more usuable for multiple users.
making the taskbar “fluid” with [vp.width/height]
revising window control placement
adding mount/eject usb disk feature
cleaning up config using more variables to make customization easier for different users
creating GDM
possibly using a splash screen
UPDATE VERSION 0.7.4
Features:
–AppLaunch Dock
–FvwmPager/ DateTime dock
–Irssi slides from the bottom when F1 is pressed.
–MPD Playlist slides out from the right side of the screen when F2 or the playlist control-button is clicked.
I have been using a personally modified version of Stonecrest’s clean and (can be) green config, but I decided that it was time that I created my own config.
This is a shot of the (very) alpha stage of my config. I will be going back for spring semester in a couple of days so I won’t be able to do as much tweaking as I would like but you can see where I am headed with this. I hope you like it.
I will post my config as soon as I clean it up and finish up my menu’s/AppLaunch bar. I am glad you guys like it so far. I am going for clean, functional, and fast.
Updates:
–added conky and a customized conifuration for conky
–added fvwm2rc.irc (which created a drop-down window of irssi)
–Windows key opens a console
Works-in-progress
–fvwm2rc.irc [I am working on centering the window on the bottom (centered) and have it unshade ‘up’ instead of dropping down from the top of the screen]
–A fvwmButton for mpd controls that will open with a specified key-action
–Adding mouse-over “highlights” to the dock icons in the AppLaunch dock.
-fvwmirc is working properly now Pressing F1 will toggle irssi from the bottom center of the screen and give it focus.
-New Time/Date script w/ Calendar
Works in progress
-A mpd playlist button that will slide in from the right side of the screen under the controls
-Mouse over highlights for the icons.
Updated
-A playlist for mpd opens from the right side under the screen under the mpd controls by clicking the playlist button on the mpd-controls or by pressing F2.

try to run xcompmgr from .xinitrc (before run fvwm) and try for examplexcompmgr -cC -fF
about the transset function i used transset-df and applied a 50% traslucency to not raised and not focused windows using FvwmEvent and windows id
I haven’t posted in a very long time because i have been too busy with school and work to have time to work on my config.
About the transset…i never got around to messing with that but i did install xgl and compiz to check it out. Its REALLY nice. I can’t wait until FVWM can utilize xgl. I switched quickly back to fvwm because i can’t function without it. When I switched back, transset stopped working for me. I haven’t had much time to try to solve the problem. So obviously I also haven’t been able to do what I wanted to do with the transset/window focus.
