NAME
FvwmScroll - the FVWM scroll-bar module
SYNOPSIS
FvwmScroll is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation
will work.
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.
COPYRIGHTS
The FvwmScroll program, and the concept for interfacing this
module to the Window Manager, are all original work by
Robert Nation.
Copyright 1994, Robert Nation. 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.
INITIALIZATION
During initialization, FvwmScroll 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 con-
figuration than FvwmScroll, simply by changing the keyword
FvwmScroll to MoreScroll.
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 hor-
izontal 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.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
FvwmScroll reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it
starts up, and looks for lines as listed below:
*FvwmScrollFore color
Tells the module to use color instead of grey for
scroll bars themselves.
*FvwmScrollBack color
Tells the module to use color instead of black for the
window background.
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.
