Is there a way to put the title of an icon on top of the icon ?
Can we give different values for the SnapAttraction of Icons and Windows,
that is for example, Windows snap together if they are 8 pixels apart, whereas Icons snap only at 3 ?
Is it possible to add Modifier keys to the set S C M A N L ?
In order to start a window in a shaded state, I start the window far from the screen,
shade it and then move it on the current page. Is there a cleaner way to do that ?
IconAlpha seems to apply to both Icons and MiniIcons; is there a trick
to make it work only for Icons, or only for MiniIcons ?
I want a specific style or colorset to apply only to iconified windows (more generally to windows in some specific state);
Is there some simple way to achieve that ? I suppose this can be done with FvwmEvent.
But having three or four such modules working in the background is probably cpu consuming (overkill ?); any feedback on that point ?

Only use it in the colorset you apply to Icons.
How do I set colors or style for Icons only ?
My icons are on the rootwindow;I have seen nothing like IconStyle
in the man and the style command take names of windows as argument.

How do you mean?
something like :
Key F8 A Popup RootMenu
where special key may be the function key, the window key or else

Can you be more specific?
Here is how i start a terminal in a shaded state :
AddToFunc TermStartShaded
I exec xterm -name startshaded -geometry +100000+0
I wait startshaded
I Next (startshaded) windowshade
I Next (Startshaded) Move 0 0
It works, the window appears in a shaded state;
but there is probably a simpler way to do it, isn’t it ?
BTW is it possible to concatenate two instructions on the same line, for example:
+I Next (startshaded) windowshade; Move 0 0
(unfortunatly it is not the right syntax)
Well, that “special” key would have to be a modifier – so,
maybe, say, one of the windows key, if you have one on your
keyboard. Read the following to achieve that:
“Simpler” is a stupid term to use, as it’s meaningless in this
context. That function is fine, and I’d use something
similar myself, most likely. However, I would say that it
would be logical to “Move” your window before it is shaded, so
that when you unshade it, it’s not going to possibly unshade
off-screen.
No – this is why you would create a function, and call that
instead.
I Exec exec urxvtc -e mc /home/joanet/Dades/Documents /home/joanet/Dades
I Next (urxvt) Maximize [/code]
It was working if I passed the commands into FvwmConsole, but not when calling the function. I was feeling very silly! I clearly disregarded the importance of the wait command.
The function is inside a menu. I could write a function for each application I want to start maximized. Is there any other way to define a set of applications that start maximized?
I very much appreciate you mentioned it. I have been told in other forums about the virtues of reviving old threads because of learning/getting participants involved and creating a single source of information instead of individual threads. As it is said in English, ‘your house your rules’. I will start new threads and, if necessary, link old posts. My apologies for the misbehaviour.
