.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
FvwmScroll \- the FVWM scroll-bar module
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
FvwmScroll is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The FvwmScroll module prompts the user to select a target window, if
|
||
|
|
the module was not launched from within a window context in Fvwm.
|
||
|
|
After that, it adds scroll bars to the selected window, to reduce the
|
||
|
|
total desktop space consumed by the window.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FvwmScroll reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up,
|
||
|
|
and looks for lines similar to "*FvwmScrollFore green".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FvwmScroll should not be used with windows which move or resize
|
||
|
|
themselves, nor should it be used with windows which set the
|
||
|
|
WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS property. Operation is fine with windows that have
|
||
|
|
a private colormap.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH COPYRIGHTS
|
||
|
|
The FvwmScroll program, and the concept for
|
||
|
|
interfacing this module to the Window Manager, are all original work
|
||
|
|
by Robert Nation.

|
.SH INITIALIZATION
|
||
|
|
During initialization, \fIFvwmScroll\fP will eventually search a
|
||
|
|
configuration file which describes the colors to use.
|
||
|
|
The configuration file is the same file that fvwm used during initialization.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the FvwmScroll executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s
|
||
|
|
FvwmScroll MoreScroll, then another module called MoreScroll can be
|
||
|
|
started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmScroll,
|
||
|
|
simply by changing the keyword FvwmScroll to MoreScroll.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH INVOCATION
|
||
|
|
FvwmScroll can be invoked by binding the action 'Module
|
||
|
|
FvwmScroll x y' to a menu or key-stroke in the .fvwmrc file.
|
||
|
|
The parameter x and y are integers, which describe the horizontal and
|
||
|
|
vertical window size reduction.
|
||
|
|
Fvwm will search
|
||
|
|
directory specified in the ModulePath configuration option to attempt
|
||
|
|
to locate FvwmScroll. Although nothing keeps you from launching
|
||
|
|
FvwmScroll at start-up time, you probably don't want to.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
FvwmScroll reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up,
|
||
|
|
and looks for lines as listed below:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.IP "*FvwmScrollFore \fIcolor\fP"
|
||
|
|
Tells the module to use \fIcolor\fP instead of grey for scroll bars
|
||
|
|
themselves.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.IP "*FvwmScrollBack \fIcolor\fP"
|
||
|
|
Tells the module to use \fIcolor\fP instead of black for the window
|
||
|
|
background.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
||
|
|
When the scroll bars are removed by clicking on the button in the
|
||
|
|
lower right corner, the window does not restore its location
|
||
|
|
correctly.
