Well, the GSFR was a great success! maybe a trial is on order: * Write a WindowStyle command that just understands Sticky/Slippery, copy/paste from the Style command. * Write a NewStyle command that manipulates the StyleFunction function, don't worry about DestroyStyle and optimizing the function yet. * Write a wrapper for Style that strips out any Sticky/Slippery options and passes them to a NewStyle command, Pass the other options to the old style command (this may be quite hard and will be thrown away later so maybe just a really simple version would be OK e.g. only pass to NewStyle if the command is just "Style <pattern> Sticky") * Add the dynamic update of Sticky/Slipppery to the NewStyle command. This should result in the Style commands with Sticky/Slippery bahaving exactly as the old way. If nothing unexpected turns up then we can proceed as follows: * Add all the other style flags to the WindowStyle command. * Add multiple comma-seperated options to the WindowStyle command. * Remove the old Style command. * Remove the Style wrapper and rename NewStyle to Style. * Work out a method for DestroyStyle. * Use the above method to optimize the StyleFunction. * Test it to bits. I'm sure I've missed out something important, hopefully doing a simple trial will make it obvious. Cheers, Tim. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
