NAME

       fbrun - display run dialog window

SYNOPSIS

       fbrun [options]

DESCRIPTION

       fbrun(1) is basically equivalent to the "Run..." dialog in other desktop environments. This means that it is an easy way to start a program
       that isn't contained in the menu (or needs a special set of parameters for this particular invocation).

       Pressing "Enter" will close the window and execute the command in your present $SHELL. Pressing "Esc" will close the window and does not
       execute anything.

       Another way fbrun can be useful is to be called from the menu with a preloaded command line that you can edit and then execute. An example
       might be sshing to a very long host name with lots of options of which one changes all the time. In this case, you could add an entry for
       fbrun to your menu that contains all the options and the host name. When you use said entry, you could edit the line as necessary and
       execute it.

OPTIONS

       -title title
	   Set title

       -text text
	   Text input

       -w width
	   Window width in pixels

       -h height
	   Window height in pixels

       -display display
	   Display name, defaults to $DISPLAY

       -pos x y
	   Window position in pixels

       -nearmouse
	   Position the window under the mouse cursor

       -fg color
	   Foreground text color. The default is black

       -bg color
	   Background color. The default is white

       -font name
	   Text font name
