NAME
FvwmPager - the FVWM Pager module
SYNOPSIS
FvwmPager is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation
will work. From within the .fvwmrc file, FvwmPager is
spawned as follows:
Module FvwmPager 0 3
or
Module FvwmPager * *
or from within an fvwm pop-up menu:
AddToMenu Module-Popup "Modules" Title
+ "Audio" Module FvwmAudio
+ "Auto" Module FvwmAuto 200
+ "Buttons" Module FvwmButtons
+ "Ident" Module FvwmIdent
+ "Banner" Module FvwmBanner
+ "Pager" Module FvwmPager 0 3
or
+ "Pager" Module FvwmPager * *
where "0" is the first desktop to show, and "3" is the last
and "*" is the current dektop. In the second format (with
two asterisks) the current desk is always visible in the
pager (and it is also the only one).
DESCRIPTION
The FvwmPager module shows a miniature view of the Fvwm
desktops which are specified in the command line. This is a
useful reminder of where your active windows are. Windows in
the pager are shown in the same color as their fvwm decora-
tions.
The pager can be used to change your viewport into the
current desktop, to change desktops, or to move windows
around.
Pressing mouse button 1 in the pager will cause you viewport
to change to the selected page of the selected desk. If you
click with button 1 in the desk-label area, you will switch
desks but not pages within the desk.
Dragging mouse button 2 on a miniature view of a window will
cause that window to be move to the location where you
release the mouse button, but your viewport will not change.
If you drag the window out of the pager and onto your desk-
top, a full size image of the window will appear for you to
place. There is no way to pick up a full size image of the
window and move it into the pager, however. Since some mice
do not have button 2, I have made provisions to drag windows
in the pager by using pressing modifier-1 (usually Alt) and
dragging with button 3.
Clicking mouse button 3 on a location will cause the
viewport to move to the selected location and switch desks
if necessary, but will not align the viewport to a page
boundary. Dragging button 3 will cause the viewport to move
as you drag but not switch desktops, even if the pointer
moves to another desktop.
When iconified, the pager will work as a fully functional
current page only pager. Windows and viewports can be moved
within the icon of the pager. Users will want to make sure
that they have no lines similar to
Icon "Fvwm Pager" whatever
in their .fvwmrc files.
COPYRIGHTS

module to the Window Manager, are all original work by
Robert Nation.

INITIALIZATION
During initialization, FvwmPager will eventually search a
configuration file which describes the time-outs and actions
to take. The configuration file is the same file that fvwm
used during initialization.
If the FvwmPager executable is linked to another name, ie ln
-s FvwmPager OtherPager, then another module called Other-
Pager can be started, with a completely different configura-
tion than FvwmPager, simply by changing the keyword
FvwmPager to OtherPager. This way multiple pager programs
can be used.
KEYBOARD FOCUS CONTROL
You can direct the keyboard focus to any window on the
current desktop by clicking with button 2 on its image in
the pager. The window does not need to be visible, but it
does need to be on the current page.
INVOCATION
The invocation method was shown in the synopsis section
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
FvwmPager reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it
starts up, and looks for certain configuration options:
*FvwmPagerGeometry geometry
Completely or partially specifies the pager windows
location and geometry, in standard X11 notation. In
order to maintain an undistorted aspect ratio, you
might want to leave out either the width or height
dimension of the geometry specification
*FvwmPagerRows rows
Tells fvwm how many rows of desks to use when laying
out the pager window.
*FvwmPagerColumns columns
Tells fvwm how many columnss of desks to use when lay-
ing out the pager window.
*FvwmPagerIconGeometry geometry
Specifies a size (optional) and location (optional) for
the pager's icon window. Since there is no easy way for
FvwmPager to determine the height of the icon's label,
you will have to make an allowance for the icon label
height when using negative y-coordinates in the icon
location specification (used to specify a location
relative to the bottom instead of the top of the
screen).
*FvwmPagerStartIconic
Causes the pager to start iconified.
*FvwmPagerNoStartIconic
Causes the pager to start normally. Useful for cancel-
ling the effect of the StartIconic option.
*FvwmPagerFont font-name
Specified a font to use to label the desktops. If
font_name is "none" then no desktop labels will be
displayed.
*FvwmPagerSmallFont font-name
Specified a font to use to label the window names in
the pager. If not specified, the window labels will be
omitted. Window labels seem to be fairly useless for
desktop scales of 32 or greater. If font_name is
"none" then no window names will be displayed.
*FvwmPagerFore color
Specifies the color to use to write the desktop labels,
and to draw the page-grid lines.
*FvwmPagerBack color
Specifies the background color for the window.
*FvwmPagerHilight color
The active page and desk label will be highlighted by
using this background pattern instead of the normal
background.
*FvwmPagerWindowColors fore back hiFore hiBack
Change the normal/highlight colors of the windows. fore
and hiFore specify the colors as used for the font
inside the windows. back and hiBack are used to fill
the windows with.
*FvwmPagerLabel desk label
Assigns the text label to desk desk (or the current
desk if desk is "*") in the pager window. Useful for
assigning symbolic names to desktops, i.e.
*FvwmPagerLabel 1 Mail
*FvwmPagerLabel 2 Maker
*FvwmPagerLabel * Matlab
*FvwmPagerDeskColor desk color
Assigns the color color to desk desk (or the current
desk if desk is "*") in the pager window. This replaces
the background color for the particular desk. This
only works when the pager is full sized. When Iconi-
fied, the pager uses the color specified by
*FvwmPagerBack.
TIP: Try using *FvwmPagerDeskColor in conjunction with
FvwmCpp (or FvwmM4) and FvwmBacker to assign identical
colors to your various desktops and the pager represen-
tations.
*FvwmPagerDeskTopScale number
If the geometry is not specified, then a desktop reduc-
tion factor is used to calculate the pager's size.
Things in the pager window are shown at 1/number of the
actual size.
*FvwmPagerMiniIcons
Allow the pager to display a window's mini icon in the
pager, if it has one, instead of showing the window's
name.
*FvwmPagerBalloons [type]
Show a balloon describing the window when the pointer
is moved into a window in the pager. Currently only the
window's icon name is shown. If type is Pager balloons
are just shown for an uniconified pager; if type is
Icon balloons are just shown for an iconified pager. If
type is anything else (or null) balloons are always
shown.
*FvwmPagerBalloonFore color
Specifies the color for text in the balloon window. If
omitted it defaults to the foreground color for the
window being described.
*FvwmPagerBalloonBack color
Specifies the background color for the balloon window.
If omitted it defaults to the background color for the
window being described.
*FvwmPagerBalloonFont font-name
Specifies a font to use for the balloon text. Defaults
to fixed.
*FvwmPagerBalloonBorderWidth number
Sets the width of the balloon window's border. Defaults
to 1.
*FvwmPagerBalloonBorderColor color
Sets the color of the balloon window's border. Defaults
to black.
*FvwmPagerBalloonYOffset number
The balloon window is positioned to be horizontally
centered against the pager window it is describing. The
vertical position may be set as an offset. Negative
offsets of -n are placed n pixels above the pager win-
dow, positive offsets of +n are placed n pixels below.
Offsets of 0 are not permitted, as this would permit
direct transit from pager window to balloon window,
causing an event loop. Defaults to +2. The offset will
change sign automatically, as needed, to keep the bal-
loon on the screen.
