Quickly…

Stuff I like about it:

  • Colorsets (I think it was Ikaro’s mercx fluxbox theme that inspired me)
  • Desktop icons handled by ROX pinboard
  • an FVWM background menu can change the pinboard background using SOAP

Stuff I don’t like:

  • I should bite the bullet and use 16x16 icons for the iconmanager
  • I prefer svg icons, but it makes it confusing when I need to throw in an icon that isn’t
  • I haven’t decided on a color scheme for the pager
  • my imagemagick’s composite doesn’t seem to work like it used to… no little icon on top of the window (I haven’t put much time in it since I just switched back to PNG icons)

If you download the config, be careful not to write over your existing fvwm…

Thoughts?

Ah, OK. Is this better?

DestroyFunc StartFunction
AddToFunc StartFunction
+ I Module FvwmButtons FvwmPanel
+ I Module FvwmEvent
+ I Module FvwmCommandS
+ I Module FvwmButtons FvwmDock
+ I Exec exec rm -rf $[FVWM_USERDIR]/tmp/*
+ I Test (Init) Exec exec gnome-settings-daemon &
+ I Test (Init) Exec exec xset -b
+ I Test (Init) Exec exec rox --pinboard=Fvwm
+ I Test (Init) Function FuncEffectsOn
+ I Test (Restart) All (Iconic) ReThumbnail

Exit too? I guess it doesn’t really matter but does that mean it will execute my first five commands before exiting? It just seems a little odd… there’s probably something I’m missing.

Not without: + I Test (Exit) …
