That doesn't work as you think. The buttons are counted from left to right, top to bottom: Regardless if I use *FvwmButtons(5x1+0+0, Action `Menu RootMenu`) *FvwmButtons(5x1+5+0, Action `Menu ModuleMenu`) or *FvwmButtons(5x1+5+0, Action `Menu ModuleMenu`) *FvwmButtons(5x1+0+0, Action `Menu RootMenu`) the RootMenu button always gets 0 and the ModuleMenu button gets 1. I think the numbering is based on the position of the button. My FvwmButtons looks like this: -------------------------------------------------- | | | | || || | | ------------------| |----------| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ------------------| | | | | | | | | | | |----------| | | | | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------- It can be quite difficult to find ot the correct button numbers. > It only works with buttons that have a title Do buttons inside containers count too? > in the config file (could be " ") and I haven't tested it with anything > other than a simple button (just a title, no icon or swallows). > > I've stuffed the new code into FvwmButtons.c which is probably the wrong > place. I lika that patch :-) Consider it applied. The next logical thing to do would be to change the pixmap of a button. > PS I think I can get rid of all my swallowed (non-fvwm) apps except > xload with this.
