  I think it would be much more accurate to call FVWM mature.
 
 An even better word is useful (unlike many linux products under
 frenetic active development by folks who believe change is always
 good no matter how stupid it is :-).
 

I agree, GNU/linux is following a dangerous path those days,
I never understood the need for pulseaudio when we can do the same with
alsa + jack + the snd-aloop module, and that with a constant sound
latency, which is a must for any serious audio work.

I will not even talk about a completely idiotic
take_my_freedom_ware.tm and break_my_good_working_system.tm like
policykit. That was the drop that made me to begun to look for
alternatives.

rounded windows using fvwm

2012-12-01 Thread Ranjan Maitra
Hello,

I was wondering if it is yet possible to get rounded corners on
windows using fvwm. I know that there is an unofficial patch around for
this, but I was looking to hopefully avoid going out of the official
version. 

If it is not possible to get rounded corners on windows using fvwm, are
there any plans for adding this support? If so, soon? Longer? Why not
just adapt the patch?

On a somewhat related question: is it possible to have the window
title (the bar at the top of the window, right) not go entirely from
left to right, but only part on the left. So that it looks like kind of
a tab to the window. Would someone know how to do that ? 

Many thanks again for answering my questions and best wishes,
Ranjan

Generally Fvwm only adds frivolous things (like FvwmAnimate),
when they don't add bloat to the core of fvwm.

I found a file named

09-FluxRoundedCorners.patch

It doesn't qualify.

Nope.
