 AF> Hello to everyone.
 AF> I wonder if there is any clock applet available to use it with
 AF> FvwmButtons. It should be capable of xft as fvwm 2.5.8 does.

  I use FvwmScript for it (you can see screenshot on
  http://www.grundik.gribok.net/?theme=myclock.php, in Russian only,
  sorry):

  ChangeTitle 1 $NHour

  ChangeTitle 3 $AHour
 End

  If (RemainderOfDiv (GetTime) 60)==0 Then

        ChangeTitle 1 $NHour

    ChangeTitle 3 $AHour

  Some time ago I use shell-script and FvwmButtons:

---8<-----------------------------------------------------
*FvwmButtons: (Id clock, Title "clock", \
font xft:"Verdana":pixelsize=19:bold:minspace=true)
*FvwmButtons: (Id date, Title "date", \
font xft:"Verdana":pixelsize=19:bold:minspace=true)
----------------------------------------------------->8---
---8<-----------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

while true; do
  TIME=`date +'%R'`
  DATE=`date +'%a, %d %b/%m'`
  if [ "x$OLD_TIME" != "x$TIME" ]; then
        OLD_TIME=$TIME
    FvwmCommand "SendToModule FvwmButtons ChangeButton clock Title \"$TIME\""
  fi
  if [ "x$OLD_DATE" != "x$DATE" ]; then
        OLD_DATE=$DATE
    FvwmCommand "SendToModule FvwmButtons ChangeButton date Title \" $DATE\""
  fi
  sleep 60
done
----------------------------------------------------->8---

 AF> Xft works fine with my configuration, but so far the clock (I use
 AF> a swallowed xclock) does get displayed the old style. Of course
 AF> it should be a digital clock, much same way as one could see in
 AF> MS Windows taskbars. Any hints?

  You can use two ways described above (FvwmScript or any script and
  FvwmCommand), instead of swallowing applications into FvwmButtons.

PS: sorry for bad English.
