Window Styles
Styles are options that can be applied to one, many or all windows. Fvwm has hundreds of Styles, and this page is only going to describe the syntax. See the manpage for a list and description of all the different Styles.
The syntax for Styles is:
A Style is applied to all windows whose name, title, class or resource matches the stylename (the module /Modules/FvwmIdent can be used to find this info). Stylenames can include the wildcards * and ? to match differnt groups of windows. After the stylename, list as many styles as you want to apply separating them with commas.
To apply a style to all windows, use the wild card *. Here are some examples of styles applied to all windows I use in my config file.
You can also apply styles to windows by matching their class/resource/name. For example the follow styles are for specific windows.
In general I try to use the class or resource of a window to match for the style names. These usually will not change like a title or name can.
If you have multiple conflicting stylenames that match the same window, the last one read will be the one that used. In this case you should always generalize (list the * styles first) before you specialize. See /Config/StyleTips/ for a more details on working with styles.
