Pager loose transparent colorset

Configuration General Questions
1

Hello,

I’m trying to build a nice FVWM config. I have a little problem with my pager. It uses a Transparent colorset. When I click on one of my workspace, the HilightColorset comes in and doesn’t leave after I change workspace again. So after a moment, I end up with all my workspace being HilightColorset.

Another thing, if I open the menu by clicking near the pager, the menu print inside the pager and stays there.

Any idea?

Thanks

Are you using RootTransparent? And how are you setting your background?

I’m using Transparent. RootTransparent doesn’t work at all. My distro is Debian Sarge.

Settings:
…
Colorset 1 Transparent, IconAlpha 50
…
Style FvwmPager StaysOnTop
…
########################### Pager #########################################
DestroyModuleConfig FvwmPager: *

mmm… it all depends on how you set the background. If you use FvwmBacker you’ll be ok. xsetbg won’t work properly with transparency. fvwm-root will, but you need to use the --retain-pixmap option. Esetroot and wmsetbg are ok, as are a few others.

THANKS!

fvwm-root --retain-pixmap did it and RootTransparent works now!

Thanks again :slight_smile:
