FvwmScroll(1) Fvwm Modules FvwmScroll(1) 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 should not be used with windows which move or resize themselves, nor should it be used with windows which set the WM_COL- ORMAP_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 gets config info from fvwm's module configuration database (see fvwm(1), section MODULE COMMANDS) to determine which colors to use. 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 configuration 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 .fvwm2rc file. The parameter x and y are either integers or integers immediately followed by a p, which describe the horizontal and vertical size modification of the window. An integer describe a size reduction. An integer followed by a p describe a size as a percentage of the height or the width of a full screen but the size is never larger than the original window size (0p will do nothing). Fvwm will search directory specified in the Mod- ulePath 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: Colorset n Tells the module to use colorset n. See FvwmTheme. *FvwmScroll: Back color Tells the module to use color instead of black for the window background. Switches off the Colorset option. 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. AUTHOR

FvwmDragWell(1) Fvwm Modules FvwmDragWell(1) NAME
FvwmDragWell - A XDND drag well SYNOPSIS
FvwmDragWell FvwmDragWell is a Xdnd drag well. The user sends the data and type to the drag well via a fvwm SendToModule command. The drag well indi- cates that it received the information via a crude animation. The user may then drag the information from the well to other applications that support the Xdnd standard. The fvwm module FvwmWharf accepts drops of type "text/uri-list". INITIALIZATION
During initialization, FvwmDragWell gets config info from fvwm's module configuration database (see fvwm(1), section MODULE COMMANDS). If the FvwmDragWell executable is linked to another name, i.e. ln -s FvwmDragWell OtherDragWell, then another module called OtherDragWell can be started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmDragWell, simply by changing the keyword FvwmDragWell to OtherDragWell. This way multiple FvwmDragWell programs may be used. USE
Data is sent to the module from fvwm using the SendToModule Command. The form of the send to module command is: SendToModule modulename dragtype type-string, dragdata data type-string is a quoted string that declares the type of "data" and how the data will be exported. The "typestring" string is converted to an XAtom. The user should use standard Mime type strings, all in lower case. Note that the module does no data conversion. There is one exception to the above format. If the datatype string is omitted, the module assumes that the user is passing a file or directory path. In this case, the string "file://$hostname/" is prepended to the data, and the data is exported as type "text/uri-list". Examples: SendToModule FvwmDragWell dragdata /usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.0 On hostname saturn, the drag well will convert the data to "file://saturn/usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.0" and will export the data as type "text/uri-list". The long form of this command would be SendToModule FvwmDragWell dragtype text/uri-list, dragdata file://saturn/usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.3.8 INVOCATION
FvwmDragWell must be invoked from fvwm, so no command line invocation will work. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
FvwmDragWell reads the same .fvwm2rc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for certain configuration options: *FvwmDragWell: Geometry geometry Completely or partially specifies the Fvwm window location and geometry, in standard X11 notation. The default size is 48x48. *FvwmDragWell: DragWellGeometry geometry Specifies the geometry of the drag box in the FvwmDragWell window, in the standard X11 notation. Default is 30x30+9+9 *FvwmDragWell: Colorset colorset The colorset is used for the background and shading of the drag well. See the man page of FvwmTheme for a description of colorsets. *FvwmDragWell: Fore Color The foreground color. The default foreground color is grey60. *FvwmDragWell: Back Color The background color. The default background color is black. *FvwmDragWell: Shadow Color The shadow color of the button relief. The default foreground relief color is grey20. *FvwmDragWell: Hilite Color The hilight color of the button relief. The default background relief color is grey90. BUGS
