Hi!
Im using fvwm 2.4.6 on Debian Woody. There are three Buttons on the right
hand side with the following functions:
2 Close
4 Maximise
6 Iconify
I wondered about the strange way Buttons were left out on transient windows,
which made no sense and furthermore did the Close-Button look pressed on
maximized windows. I tried changing this with
ButtonStyle 6 - MwmDecorMin
ButtonStyle 4 - MwmDecorMax
ButtonStyle 2 - Clear
without luck. I temporarily work around this problem by putting the
Minimize- and Maximize-Buttons to the rightmost position, what seems to be
what everyone is expecting. But I really want Iconify, Maximize, Close in
that order from left to right. Ill attach my fvwm2rc and post.hook, which
gets included after all command in fvwm2rc, to this mail.
BTW, is there a way to _always_ show all Buttons on every window (except
ones without a border at all, eg. xmms etc.)?
Regards
lal

#
# This file can be used both as the system.fvwmrc and the per-user
# ~/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc
# It uses certain `hooks' (files stored in /etc/X11/fvwm or ~/.fvwm) to allow
# the system administrator and user to modify menus, colors, and so on without
# having to change this file.
#
# The defaults that this file sets up follow my own taste. They attempt to set
# up a nice, easy, comfortable environment for the "ordinary" user. However,
# using the hooks, it should be possible to change anything.
#
# Please read /usr/share/doc/fvwm/README.sysrc.gz for more information.
#
# Hopefully, you will never have to modify this file.
#
#
# Section: pre.hook
#
# Use pre.hook for things that need to be done before anything else.
# For example, various paths (IconPath, PixmapPath, ModulePath) might
# be defined here.
#
ImagePath
/usr/local/share/icons:/usr/share/icons:/usr/share/pixmaps:/usr/include/X11/pixmaps:/usr/local/share/icons:/usr/share/icons:/usr/include/X11/bitmaps:/usr/X11R6/include/bitmaps

# Section: Various global settings
#
# These settings are personal.
# If you need to modify them, do so in post.hook.
#
#
# DeskTopSize sets the size of the desktop in units of physical screen
# `pages'. I prefer to use a single desktop with multiple pages,
# but many people like having multiple desktops. I thinks its confusing.
#
DeskTopSize 3x3
#
# I like to be able to move between pages or desks simply by moving
# the mouse against the screen border. I find it very useful. The
# following command enables this behaviour. To disable it, the
# command EdgeScroll 0 0 could be placed in the post.hook.
#
EdgeScroll 100 100
#
# When moving a window against the edge of the screen, it is
# nice to have a small resistance before the window is moved outside
# the screen. This makes it easier to line windows against the
# edges. I have also added some resistance to scrolling at the edges
# of the screen
#
EdgeResistance 250 100
#
# Section: Styles, colors, fonts, and related things
#
# This section defines the looks, behavior, and other attributes of windows.
# These are also quite personal. Modify them in post.hook.
#
#
# The following sets window colors. This is highly personal,
# of course, and I (jdg) have changed it to something I like!! Feel

# Section: Init and restart functions
#
# This section defines the functions InitFunction and RestartFunction.
# InitFunction is executed automatically when fvwm first starts.
# RestartFunction is executed automatically when fvwm restarts itself.
# They share a common hook, init-restart.hook, and two specific hooks,
# init.hook and restart.hook.
#
# init-restart.hook should be used for starting fvwm modules, such as the
# button bar. init-hook should be used to start other applications; they
# should not be started again, when fvwm is restarted, since they don't
# die like fvwm modules do. restart.hook exists mostly for completeness;
# tell me if you find any use for it.
#
# InitFunction runs the script setup-background, which looks in
# ~/.fvwm to see if the user wants some specific background color or
# image.
#
# The init.hook, init-restart.hook and restart.hook files should
# contain continuation lines, eg:
# + "I" Exec xterm

# Section: Menus
#
# This section defines a small menu structure. The main menu contains

# This section binds some actions to keys. The bindings have been inspired
# by MWM, Windows, and nightmares. Everything that these key bindings do,
# can be done without them. Therefore they should not be too much of a
# burden on new users, but it definitely _can_ be confusing to press a
# key by accident and have it do something completely unexpected.
