Hi,

In my config, I have this :

Style * IconBox 5 5 150 -5, IconGrid 200 200, IconFill bottom left

and *FvwmIconBoxPlacement Bottom

And the thumbnails are starting from top / left …

Woudl you know how it can be changed ?

Thank you,

Change the IconFill command to read:

IconFill bottom top

… in your style line above.

The parts of your config you posted don’t really concern me. Can you post
all of it in its entirety – preferrably into a pastebin, or uploaded to a
webserver somewhere, rather than just pasting it directly as a reply to
this, please.

I suspect there’s something in your Thumbnail functions.

I see what the problem is. The order of your “Style” lines is very important (to read more about this see here:

edulinux.homeunix.org/~n6tadam/f … styles.txt )

Essentially you have:

Style * IconBox screen w 130 5 -130 -200, IconGrid 74 10, IconFill left top

defined after the line you want which is:

Style * IconBox 5 5 150 -5, IconGrid 200 200, IconFill bottom top

The order is such that Style lines are logically ANDed together – the last line cancels the previous one out in effect. This is not want you want. So comment it out.

Not to mention that (and I mean no disrespect), your config file is a mess. You have massive amounts of code duplication – and I can already see “Style” lines embedded in functions that ought not to be there. Depending on how and when they’re called, they too might override your settings.
