.SH NAME
FvwmIconBox \- the FVWM iconbox module
.SH SYNOPSIS
FvwmIconBox is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.
.SH DESCRIPTION
The FvwmIconBox module provides an icon manager. The user can do
operations, like iconify and deiconify, for each icon shown in the
module via mouse and keyboard.
FvwmIconBox reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up,
and looks for lines similar to "*FvwmIconBoxFore green".
.SH COPYRIGHTS
The FvwmIconBox program is original work of Nobutaka Suzuki.
Copyright 1994, Nobutaka Suzuki. No guarantees or warranties or anything
are provided or implied in any way whatsoever. Use this program at your
own risk. Permission to use this program for any purpose is given,
as long as the copyright is kept intact.
.SH INITIALIZATION
During initialization, \fIFvwmIconBox\fP will eventually search a
configuration file. The configuration file is the same file that fvwm
used during initialization.
If the FvwmIconBox executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s
FvwmIconBox MoreIconBox, then another module called MoreIconBox can be
started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmIconBox,
simply by changing the keyword FvwmIconBox to MoreIconBox. This way
multiple clutter-reduction programs can be used.
.SH INVOCATION
FvwmIconBox can be invoked by binding the action 'Module
FvwmIconBox' to a menu or key-stroke in the .fvwmrc file.
Fvwm will search directory specified in the ModulePath configuration
option to attempt to locate FvwmIconBox.
.SH CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
FvwmIconBox shows icons only if NoIcon is applied. Note that the
NoIcon attribute should be set after the Icon attribute specification.
Otherwise the icon-box module might become nothing but an empty-box
module. The module reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it
starts up, and looks for lines as listed below:
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxFore \fIcolor\fP"
Tells the module to use \fIcolor\fP instead of white for the window
foreground. This option affects only the foreground color of
background_bitmap specified in *FvwmIconBoxPixmap option described
below.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxBack \fIcolor\fP"
Tells the module to use \fIcolor\fP instead of black for the window
background.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxIconFore \fIcolor\fP"
Tells the module to use \fIcolor\fP instead of black for non-selected
icon text.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxIconBack \fIcolor\fP"
Tells the module to use \fIcolor\fP instead of white for the
non-selected icon background.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxIconHiFore \fIcolor\fP"
Tells the module to use \fIcolor\fP instead of black for selected icon
text.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxIconHiBack \fIcolor\fP"
Tells the module to use \fIcolor\fP instead of white for the selected
icon background.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxPixmap \fIpixmap\fP"
Tells the module to use \fIpixmap\fP for the window background_pixmap.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxFont \fIfontname\fP"
Tells the module to use \fIfontname\fP instead of fixed for text.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxSortIcons \fIoption\fP"
Tells the module to sort all icons in iconbox in alphabetical order.
\fIoption\fP can be \fIWindowName\fP, \fIIconName\fP, \fIResClass\fP,
and \fIResName\fP. For example, specifying \fIResClass\fP means that
icons are sorted by using their resource-class strings. If
\fIoption\fP is \fIResClass\fP or \fIResName\fP, an icon having no
XA_WM_CLASS property is considered to be the "smallest" element.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxPadding \fInumber\fP"
Specifies the number of pixels between icons. The default value is 5.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxSBWidth \fInumber\fP"
Specifies the width of horizontal and vertical scrollbars. The default
value is 9.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxPlacement \fIprimary\fP \fIsecondary\fP"
Specifies icon placement policy. \fIprimary\fP and \fIsecondary\fP can
be \fITop\fP, \fIBottom\fP, \fILeft\fP and \fIRight\fP. The following
eight combinations are available:
.nf
.sp
\fIprimary\fP \fIsecondary\fP
Left Top
Left Bottom
Right Top
Right Bottom
Top Left
Top Right
Bottom Left
Bottom Right
.sp
.fi
.B "\fITop\fP:"
Icons are placed from top to bottom.
.B "\fIBottom\fP:"
Icons are placed from bottom to top.
.B "\fILeft\fP:"
Icons are placed from left to right.
.B "\fIRight\fP:"
Icons are placed from right to left.
For example, when the placement is "Left Top", icons are placed from
left to right, and new rows are added from top to bottom. The default
vale is "Left Bottom".
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxLines"
Specifies the number of icons placed in a line. If \fIprimary\fP is
Left or Right, this value specifies the number of columns.
If \fIprimary\fP is Top or Bottom, this value specifies the number of
rows. For example, seven icons are placed in a row if
*FvwmIconBoxLines is 7 and *FvwmIconBoxPlacement is "Left Top".
The default value is 6.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxHideSC \fIdirection\fP"
Specifies the undisplayed scroll bar . \fIDirection\fP can be
either \fIHorizontal\fP or \fIVertical\fP.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxGeometry \fI<width>x<height>{+-}<X>{+-}<Y>\fP"
Specifies the location and/or size of FvwmIconBox.
\fIwidth\fP and \fIheight\fP are measured in icons, not pixels.
The default value is 6x1+0+0.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxMaxIconSize \fI<width>x<height>\fP"
Specifies the maximum size of icon bitmap. A bitmap larger than
this size is clipped to this size. The default value is 48x48. In
particular, if the height is 0, then icon bitmaps are not displayed and
only icon labels are drawn.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxMouse \fIButton\fP \fIAction\fP \fIResponse[, Response]\fP"
Tells the module to do \fIResponse\fP when \fIAction\fP is done on
button \fIButton\fP. Available \fIResponse\fPes are built-in commands
in Fvwm (e.g. Iconify, Delete, Focus) and available \fIAction\fPs
are Click and DoubleClick.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxKey \fIKey\fP \fIResponse[, Response]\fP"
Tells the module to do \fIResponse\fP when \fIKey\fP is pressed.
Available \fIResponse\fPes are, besides Fvwm built-in commands, the
following six FvwmIconBox built-in commands: \fINext\fP, \fIPrev\fP,
\fILeft\fP, \fIRight\fP, \fIUp\fP, and \fIDown\fP.
.B "\fINext\fP:"
Change the hilited-icon to the next.
.B "\fIPrev\fP:"
Change the hilited-icon to the previous.
.B "\fILeft\fP:"
Move the slider of the horizontal scrollbar to left. Icons move
to right accordingly.
.B "\fIRight\fP:"
Move the slider of the horizontal scrollbar to right. Icons move
to left accordingly.
.B "\fIUp\fP:"
Move the slider of the vertical scrollbar to up. Icons move to
down accordingly.
.B "\fIDown\fP:"
Move the slider of the vertical scrollbar to down. Icons move to
up accordingly.
.IP "*FvwmIconBox \fIwindowname\fP \fIbitmap-file\fP"
Specifies the bitmap to be displayed in iconbox for \fIwindowname\fP.
This option "overrides" bitmap files specified in Style command.
\fIWindowname\fP can be window name, class name, or resource name.
\fIWindowname\fP can contain "*" and "?" like Fvwm configuration
file. The \fIbitmap-file\fP is either the full path name to a bitmap
file, or a file in the IconPath or PixmapPath. If \fIbitmap-file\fP is
specified to be "-", the icon for a window corresponding to
\fIwindowname\fP is not shown in the iconbox.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxSetWMIconSize"
Tells the module to set XA_WM_ICON_SIZE property of the root window
at the size which the module want icon windows to have. If you show
icon windows on not the root window but the module, it would be
better to specify this option.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxHilightFocusWin"
Tells the module to hilight the icon of the window which has the
keyboard focus. The fore/back colors of the hilighted icon are those
specified in the *FvwmIconBoxIconHiFore and *FvwmIconBoxIconHiBack
commands, respectively.
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxResolution \fIresolution\fP"
If \fIresolution\fP is Desk, then the module shows only the icons on
the current desk. Currently, Desk is the only value \fIresolution\fP
can take :)
.IP "*FvwmIconBoxFrameWidth \fIwidth1\fP \fIwidth2\fP"
Specifies the frame-width of the module. \fIWidth1\fP corresponds to
the width from the outer-border to the scroll-bar, and, \fIwidth2\fP
corresponds to the width from the scroll-bar to the internal-window
displaying icons. The default values are 8 and 6, respectively.
