How to install fvwm themes

The root image is from slackart. You may be able to see conky executing in a way that makes it look like it is part of the image. This is the config file for conky and see above for weather information. Note, conky uses the Neo Trash font, you will have to configure these files for your on use. Pixmaps for this look is here and this is it's md5sums.

Current xplanet looks, configs: Earth config and Mars config. As you can see from here , here , here and you get some interesting root windows. I got the map files from JPL and this , this and this are my marker files.

These are prints of the original looks, old earth and old mars. The new versions use colors that try and match the planet shown. The root image is from a blackbox theme called 'null' on themes. The null theme was created by cthulhain , who knows, maybe it is still there.

All the conkyrc does is cat output files created by some cron jobs, this allows me to avoid having a complex conkyrc file. See above for notes on weather information. Another script writes the days events to a file.

Those scripts are quite customized, but should be easy enough to create. The clock is dclock. Git stats 1, commits. Failed to load latest commit information. View code. This is a release of fvwm-themes based on the stable fvwm 2. The development continues. See the section on "How to Install" in this document on how to install fvwm-themes in the usual way. How To Install Note, starting from 0. In the past 0. In short, after untarring fvwm-themes package you should execute:.

To install it, execute: fvwm-themes-config --site --install fvwm-themes-extra. Any part of FVWM that uses a particular colorset will be affected if that colorset is changed. All colorsets are identified by a number.

Any numbering convention can be used; the fvwm-themes project documents one such convention that uses the first 40 colorsets See [5]. Colorsets can be created with the ColorSet command - syntax: ColorSet number options.

See fvwm 1 - the Colorsets section - for more information. For styles such as Font , use xorg-xfontsel to determine the correct font names for X11 fonts - see X Logical Font Description and Font configuration for more information. Windows in FVWM can be iconified minimized.

This means that the window will disappear from view and be replaced by an icon on the desktop, similar to the behavior in Microsoft Windows 3. The program itself will supply the icon. This means that the window will simply disappear when iconified. The positioning of icons can be controlled using the IconBox style - note that this is not the same thing as the FvwmIconBox module - along with the IconFill style.

This means that icons will be placed at the position of the top left corner of the window. These arguments should be the number of pixels away from the screen edge that the IconBox edge should be. When the first IconBox overflows, icons will then be placed in the second IconBox. Note that if the last IconBox overflows then the default IconBox will be used which covers the entire screen and fills from top to bottom - left to right.

Use the IconFill style to control how icons will be filled. Note that the IconFill style should be defined on the same line as the IconBox style, for instance:. The sizing of icons is not regular as different programs provide icons of differing sizes. Note that icons larger than the given size will be clipped. By default, icons also have no background. You can use the IconBackgroundColorset style to force icons to have a background. See Colorsets. To disable scrolling to the next viewport when moving the mouse pointer to the screen edge, use the following command: EdgeScroll 0 0.

Ensure that perl-tk and perl-xprotocol are installed. See fvwm 1 for other focus behaviors. The following functions can tile a window to the left half, right half, top half or bottom half of the screen, or to each corner of the screen, when called and return the window to its original position and size when called again. If you are using ClickToFocus, you might wish to automatically transfer keyboard focus when switching pages or desks to the previously focused window in that page or desk.

Otherwise, you will have to click on the window you wish to interact with on every page or desk switch. This behaviour is useful when switching desks but must be disabled when switching pages because windows can span more than one page. With the function appropriately configured, ensure that FvwmEvent is started and then bind it to the required events as show below:. Window decorations borders and titlebars can be toggled on or off for a selected window using the function defined below.

Some applications, such as XTerm, supply a maximum size to the window manager that might be smaller than the screen size. This means that if such an application is maximized, it will not cover the whole screen.

To disable this behavior, use the following command: IgnoreModifiers L You may find that with some programs the starting position of its window changes every time the program is launched.

Similarly some windows automatically resize themselves which can also affect their position. For troublesome windows, you can configure FVWM to ignore the hints that are causing the problem.

The first step is to get the class name or resource name of the window in question - use the FvwmIdent module for this. For example:. For windows whose position is affected by resizing this can typically be fixed by setting the FixedPPosition style on the window which causes FVWM to ignore attempts by the window to change its position.

This can be set in conjunction with ignoring USPosition hints if necessary, see below:. Namespaces Page Discussion. Views Read View source View history. Related articles Window manager. Note: It is recommended that you only use the StartFunction and make use of the Test command - explained below.

Tip: You can split up your configuration into multiple files and then source those files from the main configuration file using the read command. Note: To give the buttons the same background as the title, use the UseTitleStyle flag. Alternatively, specify your button backgrounds using the ButtonStyle command and then follow this with an AddButtonStyle command to specify the vector or pixmap image. AddButtonStyle takes the same syntax as ButtonStyle.

Note: The AddToMenu command is cumulative, meaning that if it is used twice on the same menu, the items specified in the second command will be appended to the menu in its current state instead of overwriting the previous menu configuration. This can be alarming if it's your first try. If twm does hang, try to get a different virtual console by using Alt-Fn where 'Fn' indicates the various numbered function keys.

Sometimes you need to do ctrl-alt-Fn. In the virtual console, log in and, as root sudo do:. Then try it I would very much suggest not running X as root. Run it from your user login.
