I’ve only been using fvwm since yesterday (I’m already so addicted ) but I thought I’d show what I’ve got so far. Mostly everything is stolen from someone else and then hacked away until it’s how I want it.
- adesklets calendar at the top right
- thumbnails at the top left
- Metabox window decoration
- dock with “mouseover” feel
- time script in dock
- musicpd controls at bottom right in dock
Nice. Simple in appearance, nicely co-ordinated. I like it
How did you get the neat little icons over your thumbnails???!!! That is so awsome.

You need to define a MiniIcon for your applications, i.e.
Style Firefox-bin EWMHMiniIconOverride, MiniIcon $[FVWM_USERDIR]/images/icons/firefox32.png
Then change your thumbnail code to say:
SetEnv fvwm_icon_size 90
DestroyFunc Thumbnail
AddToFunc Thumbnail
+ I Raise
+ I ThisWindow (!Shaded Iconifiable !Iconic) PipeRead \
"xwd -silent -id $[w.id] | convert -scale x60 -frame 1x1 \
-mattecolor black -quality 0 xwd:- png:$[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png \
&& echo Nop"
+ I TestRc (Match) Test (f $[w.miniiconfile]) \
PipeRead "composite -geometry +2+4 $[w.miniiconfile] $[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png \
$[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png && echo WindowStyle IconOverride, Icon \
$[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png || echo Nop"
+ I TestRc (NoMatch) WindowStyle IconOverride, Icon $[FVWM_USERDIR]/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png
+ I Iconify
That is aswome thanks alot for that neat little trick.

Alright, I had a couple requests for my config so here it is. I’ve modified the layout a bit and haven’t gotten around to coding up a right-click menu or anything so do with it what you want.

Where did you get the window decoration? Could you post the images? (last screenshot) Nice work.
Thanks The window decoration is my port of the clearlooks theme. I actually posted it on the forum over here: viewtopic.php?t=355
