I would like to use the Kbiff emailnotification program in FvwmButtons.
I have tried:
*FvwmButtons: (1x1, Swallow(Respawn) “kbiff” “Exec exec kbiff”)
But then some of the program just appears over the button.
I would like only the dynamic icon to appear (letter when new mail has arried, empty box when I have read the mail).
But how do I make this kind of Dynamic icon as a FvwmButton?
Isn’t this how kbiff works, normally?
What do you mean? Kbiff is subject to the use of EWMH and as such, you probably need to supply one of the many EWMH* style options to it. Maybe:
style kbiff EWMHIgnoreStateHints
Although if your question is how do you emulate the behaviour of kbiff in FVWM, then you can use FvwmScript – searching these forums for “mail” will help you as there have been some posted that act similar to it. There’s also ‘xbiff’, ‘coolmail’, as I have already mentioned to you in another post.
