forget, i actualy did it :slight_smile: thanks anyway :smiley:

Hello Forum,

first of all, this is my first post here and and I want to send Greetings to all of you!

O.K., Im trying out FVWM since a few days and I like it! To learn how it works Ive installed PEMs Theme, a very nice one, Congratulations for it! But I have one little questions : In the Theme the Icons are Pics from the Apps but I have changed it here to use Thumbnails/Screenshots. This works fine but I would like to draft (hmmm, my very bad Englich...I hope its right :slight_smile: )
the Icons with my Mouse. In the Theme Icons are placed at one Point and I cant draft them over the Desktop. How can I change this? Thats all,
thx for all answers!

You can add

[code]DestroyFunc DeiconifyOrMove
AddToFunc DeiconifyOrMove

  • M Move
  • C Iconify false

Mouse 1 I N Function DeiconifyOrMove[/code]

to move icon dragging (I think that what you meant by draft) with button 1, and uniconify them by clicking on them with button 1.

hy, pem can i apply your mail script on FvwmRootMenu ?
thanks.

Thanks, now it works!

And yes, I meant “move” :slight_smile:

@Slackman:
No prob for your english. We got a lot of non-english guys around there (and count me in :wink: ). So, welcome in our little Fvwm’s space :smiley:

@UltraDiabos:
Well of course you can though it needs some enhancement. Just for a try, you could replace the weather_menu.plx call by this new one that you will call mail_menu.plx:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Net::POP3; use Env qw(HOME); open(POP3FILE, $HOME . "/.secret_pop3") or print "file!" and exit; my $var; my $varVal; my %allVar; while (<POP3FILE>) { chomp; ($var,$varVal) = split(/ /); $allVar{$var} = $varVal; } my $pop = Net::POP3->new($allVar{server}, Timeout=>5) or print "net!" and exit; $pop->apop($allVar{login}, $allVar{passwd}) or print "account!" and exit; my ($undeleted) = $pop->popstat; print "+ \"Number of mails: $undeleted\""; $pop->quit;

hmm i’ve been tried to put the mail on fvwmrootmenu. my question is, the module Net :: Pop3 suports SSL ? because my email acount is gmail, and the POP3 server is pop.gmail.com port 995 SSL. And the file .secret_pop3 i’m not sure how i put the info on it, it’s something like this:
server
user
passwd

Am I right? if i’m not correct, correct me please :smiley:
thanks

forget, the /.secret_pop3 is for log right ?
like /dev/shm/weather.log or i’m wrong ?

Humm, I think that it’s for regular POP3 account. I think that the SSL authentication is not supported in this old PERL module. Don’t know if it’s gonna work. :confused: Before integrate it into Fvwm, you should try mail.plx on command line.

For the info in the ~/.secret_pop3, you’re correct. It’s not the most academic way to hold password on a unix box but for a simple mail account that does its job.

BTW, this file is not a log, it’s more a configuration file :wink:

hmm the result of perl mail.plx is net!
… :S

It just means that the command at line 12 in my script has failed. This failure may occur for 2 reasons: either there’s a mistake in the first line of the ~/.secret_pop3 (the server address) or the server that you are using is not compatible with POP3. From my point of view, gmail is not a POP3 compatible mail server and thus it does not provide a polling capability via POP3 :frowning:

hahahaha , UltraDiabos , ve la se começas mas e a fazer as cenas por ti !!!
Quando e pa fuderes tb pedes ajuda aos outros ???

Eu não compreendi o que você disse mascanho :confused: (meaning in Portuguese: I haven’t understood what you said)

I’ve found this for GMail on wikipedia:

It seems that you need to configure your GMail account to grant a POP3 access to it. Even with this setting on, I’m still not sure that the old PERL module I use is able to use SSL to open the account :frowning:

yes, i have the option enable, but these perl module doen’s support SSL, i guess… but i’m going to check it better… thanks

hy, pem, i have some problems to configure mrxvt, i change the options, but takes no effect on mrxvt, i put your mrxvt configuration on ~/.Xdefaults … so i not understand… if you can give me some tip, i woul apreciate, thanks!

There are multiple options set at compile time. Getting the value under the ~/.Xdefaults is one among the others. Thus, this option may have been unset in your mrxvt binary.

Fortunately, mrxvt accepts also its configuration option under ~/.mrxvtrc. Give it a try. If it does not work, I recommend a recompilation with a different option set in the “configure” phase :wink:

thanks, i recompile mrxvt with a different option set in ./configure and now it works perfectly, thanks again…
