FVWM: fvwm2 vs fvwm3

2021-03-20 Thread Ethan Raynor
Hi everyone, I've been using fvwm3 for a few months, and have realised that its config file is the same as fvwm2. On the fvwm2's github repo README, I note that it has been put in maintenance mode and that use of fvwm3 is preferred. I'm OK with that, but can anyone here tell me what the plan is

FVWM: Move windows to a new desk preserving pages

2021-02-28 Thread Ethan Raynor
Hi, I'm trying to understand how I can move all windows from desk X to desk Y without losing where the windows on desk X are in terms of their pages. I know I can do something like: All (Desk 1) MoveToDesk 2 But all this does is take every window on desk 1 (regardless of page) and move those wi

FVWM: multiple monitors with fvwm

Hi everyone, Can i please get some advise about how to make fvwm work well with multiple monitors? i'm after the following: - separate workspaces per monitor - this would allow monitor independence from each other, which is important to me with lots of graphics design - fvwmpager - i have a very

FVWM: RandR Support

2020-02-05 Thread Ethan Raynor
Hi, Does fvwm have XRandR support yet? What I'm hoping for is: 1. Independent monitors (desks per monitor) 2. rotation & reflection Is this possible in fvwm yet? many other WM's out there offer RandR support. Ta!

FVWM: fvwm3???

2016-10-23 Thread Ethan Raynor
Hi, I was just browsing the fvwm git repository and saw that things have been busy this weekend - I hope this means fvwm development is happening again? It has been really slow for years - nothing happening. https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm/blob/ta/next/FVWM3.md Does this mean fvwm2 is dead? Does

2016-09-23 Thread Ethan Raynor
Hi, I have been using fvwm for a while and I think that this idea of changing the config format is ill thought out and silly. Why does this need changing now after all these years? I can't see how you expect a script to convert to this new format easily - its a very lofty goal. Don't do this at a
