Hello all,
after ditching the last effort to use a "Destop Environment" on my
Linux box (XFCE, after trying KDE, after trying GNOME), I went back to
use fvwm. It seems to be in my way less than anything else.
Anyway, as I'm tweaking and configuring, there's some things that I
would like to achieve.
Is there a way to enforce a specific icon size? So that all the icons
align nicely. Some applictions have really big icons, and some have
really small icons (apps written for desktops that have some sort of
taskbar). I am not using an icon box, never been able to make
the icon box work anyway, and I'm not too interested in using one on
top of that. I prefer my icons "on the loose".
Icons show up at the bottom of my screen now, is there a way to make
them line up at the top?
If I raise a window, by clicking on the titlebar or window frame, it
takes fvwm some time to redraw the frame, titlebar and the application
window. Actually, it takes time for the window to actually raise.
Around a second or two on my 700+ MHz pIII with nvidia. (It's an SGI
230) Is this normal? Or am I doing something that makes it slow. I've
noticed this behaviour on other machines also.
Thank you all very much for any pointers.
Ian.
PS. my config is at
http://apache.dataloss.nl/~ian/fvwm2rc
The machine runs red hat 7.2, with the stock fvwm2 rpm: fvwm2-2.2.5-4
