But I at some moment I would like to end up with an fvwm config, that is completly fine. But if I then install a new application, I have to define a new icon ... I understand, firefox and co. have no obligation to define their icon. But it still amazes me, that they do not. Under other wms (or better under xfce i.E.) these apps have icons. Well, since they are pretty standard, it could of course be that xfce defines the icons for them. But midori is not so much a standard program and has a icon und xfce. How could xfce find the icon for midori and can I maybe "copy" that way? I am also wondering: Can you confirm that firefox,thinderbird,pidgin and chromium do not define an Icon? Otherwise something might be wrong with my installation ... Regards, Nathan

This is a little simpler than the other reply: First use FvwmIdent to look at the window's name(s). You want to look at the "name", "class" or "resource". Then assign an icon using any of the 3 names above: Style "name" Icon xyz.xpm I'm not sure about urxvt, (I use rxvt) but you may want to use different icons for each urxvt you have open. In that case, I start rxvt like this: rxvt -name xyz The "xyz" becomes the "resource". Than you can assign an icon base on that resource name. In some cases, you may need to add "OverrideIcon" to the style command.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by the "standard rotated square icon" If you're thinking about the icon representing it in your menu list, you can change it to whatever you would like, simply by adding your desired icon image ie: AddToMenu ProgramMenu "Programs" Title +%%"" Exec xterm & If you're thinking when you're minimizing a window and theres a icon displayed, then you can make it a miniturize of the window contence by adding a few hooks ie: AddToFunc StartFunction ... + I Test (Restart) All (Iconic) Test\ (f $[HOME]/.fvwm/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png) WindowStyle IconOverride, \ Icon $[HOME]/.fvwm/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png ... AddToFunc ExitFunction + I Test (!ToRestart) Exec exec rm -f $[HOME]/.fvwm/icon.tmp.* ... AddToFunc Thumbnail + I Raise + I Piperead "xwd -silent -id $[w.id] \ > $[HOME]/.fvwm/icon.tmp.$[w.id].xwd" + I Iconify + I Exec nice -19 convert -resize 32x27 -frame 1x1 -mattecolor black\ -quality 0 xwd:$[HOME]/.fvwm/icon.tmp.$[w.id].xwd\ png:$[HOME]/.fvwm/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png;\ FvwmCommand'WindowId $[w.id] WindowStyle IconOverride,\ Icon $[HOME]/.fvwm/icon.tmp.$[w.id].png, StaysOnBottom' DestroyFunc DeThumbnail AddToFunc DeThumbnail + I DestroyWindowStyle + I Exec rm -f $HOME/.fvwm/icon.tmp.$[w.id].* + I Iconify ... Then hook the Thumbnail function to your assigned minimize button on the window setup and hook the DeThumbnail function to the Iconify-and-Raise function aswell as the Move-or-Iconify I hope this gives some idears, else take a look at Chris fvwm configuration: http://www.adebenham.com/files/fvwm/config As I snagged it from there..

FVWM: Application icons in panel and icon man
Hi, I am using fvwm for not to much time, and I like it very much. Thanks for the great work! What is nagging me: besides urxvt and gvim, every application is shown with the standard rotatet square icon. How can I change it? I am on gentoo linux running gvwm 2.5.28 Regards, Nathan
