Use window variables to select Style details?

I’m given the window ID; is there a way within the FVWM modules ecosystem to use that window ID to obtain all information about that window?

I’d say the windowlist tracker. That seems to be its purpose. But only a limited range of information is available. For example, is a certain window titled or untitled? The tracker does not tell us.

@porcupine

When I try to create a tracker by calling “track” on the FVWM::Module object before telling it to enter the event loop, things just stop working at all.

I mostly use the windowlist tracker instead of using event_loop, and it works just fine. But I recall attempting to use the windowlist tracker and event_loop together, and being surprised by some problem. But that was a long time ago, and I didn’t investigate further.

@porcupine

Am I supposed to entirely replace the use of the FVWM::Module “addHandler” and “eventLoop” with “observe” calls to an FVWM::Tracker::WindowList object?

Not sure. Someone else may know.
