Hi, I maintain a very inofficial Debian package of unstable FVWM, and I was asked (by one of its around 5 *G* users) to put the "Translucency patch mentioned in the FAQ" into the 2.5.9 deb.
So I did it ;) - not the whole patch, just the Translucency and XTransparency parts of code. And because I think the Translucency feature should be part of the official FVWM distribution, I made a patch for 2.5.9: http://noxa.de/~sbeyer/tmp/transl2.5.9.diff.gz If /usr/src/fvwm/fvwm-2.5.9/ is the directory of the original FVWM 2.5.9 source, do: cd /usr/src/fvwm/fvwm-2.5.9/ GET http://noxa.de/~sbeyer/tmp/transl2.5.9.diff.gz | gzip -dc | patch -p1 # or download file, gunzip and 'patch -p1 < file.diff' autoconf # Use the right version! autoconf --version -> 2.5x automake # Use the right version! automake --version -> 1.6.x and compile... (./configure && make && make install) To use it, do, for example: Colorset 5 Translucent blue 70 MenuStyle * MenuColorset 5 greetings, sbeyer -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
