Heres how to create an XPM with a hotspot (from the XPM docs): The Values-string is a single string that must contain four integers that correspond to the width and height of the pixmap, the number of colors in the pixmap, and the number of characters per pixel in the color specification. The string can optionally specify the hotspot coordinates and the word XPMEXT if the pixmap includes an Extensions-string. The format of the string is as follows: width height ncolors cpp [x_hotspot y_hotspot] [XPMEXT] The hotspot is available to the program thru the XpmAttributes structure. -- Dan Espen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 444 Hoes Lane Room RRC 1C-214 Phone: (732) 699-5570 Piscataway, NJ 08854 -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
