MiniWallpaper in the Pager

Hello!
Before opening this post I’ve serched the forum without finding an answer…I would like to have my Pager showing ( in all the three pages of my only Desk ) a miniature of my Wallpaper…Some help? :smiley:

Thanks :wink:

*FvwmPager: Pixmap pixmap

Which uses pixmap as background for the pager.

– Thomas Adam

Thanks ThomasAdam!
I’m not sure I have understood the right way to get this layout :unamused: …I have added that line but the Pager is still the same…

Post your config, if you can. Essentially, it will probably look like this:

DestroyModuleConfig FvwmPager: *
*FvwmPager Pixmap mypixmap.png
[...etc...]

Where the file “mypixmap.png” resides in one of the directories specified along with your ImagePath setting.

– Thomas Adam

I think you didn’t understand wel. You need to create a pixmap with your pager page dimmenssion and call it with The pixmap command. There is not command to simply display the wallpaper, you need to create your own pixmap.

Ok I have created a 75x65 Music_girl.png of My Wallpaper and I have put it in the ImagePath:

ImagePath ${HOME}/.fvwm/images:+

but this line doesn’t work:

*FvwmPager: Pixmap Music_girl.png

These are the lines containing FvwmPager code:

The link posted in the previous reply has an unintentional parenthesis in it. The working link is:

I don’t see much differences between your FvwmPager config and mine…except that yours works :frowning:
Maybe it has to do with my KDE+Fvwm solution…
