Specifying a direction, instead of an origin, would be far more intuitive (although of course changing it now will be a problem, again I was just noting it). - The manual defines the syntax as: "IconFill Bottom Right". With the above change, it should be changed to something like "IconFill " (well, you use an italic style in the manual for parameter names, but it can be confusing...).

FVWM: Various notes on my experience with FVWM

2012-02-08 Thread Mathieu Bonnet
g it a bit more, although I don't like the idea losing immediate dragging precision... There should probably at least be some option to limit this to focusing/raising clicks... == 71) Option for per-page focus, so we don't risk doing things in an application we do not see, and so we don't have to focus back applications everytime we do something in another page. - Another issue with the normal behavior of pages, is that even with page switching deactivated, when an application creates a window leaking maybe more than 50% to another page (or we move it similarly), and we focus it, we are switched to the other page, which is most confusing, frustrating, and anti-usable. - I want to use your two-level workspace system for easier pager management (e.g., showing the current desk in a taskbar pager, with three pages, simply by calling the pager with "Module FvwmPager *"), and easier navigation using a 2D space (Win+Left/Right for pages, Win+Top/Bottom for desks), instead of a single row or line of desks (of course I still could implement the 2D space with only desks, but this would require much more work), considering I need 18 pages (6 desks of 3 pages), but it is apparently difficult, if not impossible, to make pages behave more like independent desks, except for the pager and shortcuts. == 72) I have 4px window borders. If I click on a pixel closer to the content to resize the window to a page/screen border, it will hide all or part of the window border outside the page/screen, which is not clean. It should probably not be possible. It goes with the snapping option suggestion for resizing windows. - If using diagonal resizing, and clicking farther below, on a side, it can even hide the titlebar almost completely... (same for status bars on the bottom). I don't want having the be precise when resizing. And I don't want having to move the window for snapping, after each resize... == 73) I'm using "Style * IconBox none", without any other IconBox style definitions, nor any use of FvwmIconBox, yet, after even a complete FVWM restart (I mean computer restart in-between), when I iconify windows, they still show as icons on my workspace. As I'm using a taskbar, I don't want icons at all on my desktop (catches the attention, risks of clicking on them when trying to unfocus a window, etc.). Nothing about icons in my session log. -- Mathieu Bonnet
