I’m trying to decorate / undecorate windows using Devil’s Pie, i.e. remove their title bar and resize handles. Example script:
(if (is (window_class) "Firefox")
(begin (undecorate)
(geometry "2592x1620-0+0")))
The geometry command works, but undecorate is ignored by FVWM.
Any workaround?
Background: I want to script window decoration and placement depending on some complex rules. For example, I want to have the first Firefox window be full screen, and without decorations, and all subsequent Firefox windows should be floating on top, with decorations. I think with FVWM alone this cannot be done.
Well, I think it can all be done with FVWM.
Only I ran into what looks like a bug. Here’s a simple configuration, that makes a new xterm window stay on top, and only if there are not already any windows on top:
Module FvwmEvent
AddToFunc MyUpdate
+ I WindowStyle StaysOnTop
AddToFunc MyUpdateIfXterm
+ I Current ("XTerm") MyUpdate
AddToFunc MyUpdateIfLayer6Empty
+ I None (Layer 6) MyUpdateIfXterm
*FvwmEvent: Cmd
*FvwmEvent: add_window MyUpdateIfLayer6Empty
Style * ClickToFocus
This works fine, until I also remove the title bar by changing line 4:
+ I WindowStyle StaysOnTop, NoTitle
Now, the window is not moved to the top anymore.

Can anyone confirm the problem?
Found a workaround, by adding a second event handler:
AddToFunc MyRemoveTitleInLayer6
+ I All (Layer 6) WindowStyle NoTitle
*FvwmEvent: raise_window MyRemoveTitleInLayer6
