.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
FvwmBacker \- the FVWM background changer module
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
FvwmBacker is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The FvwmBacker module provides functionality to change the background
|
||
|
|
when changing desktops. Any command can be executed to change the
|
||
|
|
backgrounds. Actually, any arbitrary command can be sent to fvwm to
|
||
|
|
execute, so you could also do things such as changing window border
|
||
|
|
colors, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH COPYRIGHTS
|
||
|
|
The FvwmBacker module is the original work of Mike Finger.

Copyright 1994, Mike Finger. The author makes no guarantees or
|
||

||

|

|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH INITIALIZATION
|
||
|
|
During initialization, \fIFvwmBacker\fP will scan the same
|
||
|
|
configuration file that FVWM used during startup to find the options
|
||
|
|
that pertain to it. These options are discussed in a later section.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH INVOCATION
|
||
|
|
FvwmBacker can be invoked by fvwm during initialization by inserting
|
||
|
|
the line 'Module FvwmBacker' in the .fvwmrc file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FvwmBacker must reside in a directory that is listed in the ModulePath
|
||
|
|
option of FVWM for it to be executed by FVWM.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
The following is the only supported option at present:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.IP "*FvwmBackerDesk \fIDeskNumber command\fP"
|
||
|
|
Specifies the \fIcommand\fP to execute when the specified
|
||
|
|
\fIDeskNumber\fP becomes active.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the command begins with \fI-solid\fP FvwmBacker uses the next
|
||
|
|
argument as a color in the X database and sets the background to that
|
||
|
|
color without generating a system call to xsetroot (only single word
|
||
|
|
color names may be used). Otherwise the command is sent to fvwm to
|
||
|
|
execute.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH SAMPLE CONFIGURATION

||
