QNX Decoration Example

This example will configure your windows to look like the following

image

This decor makes use of the MultiPixmap option to place transitional images between the button locations and titles to get the above effect.

This decor requires a collection of images for the buttons you can download here. This will extract into a directory called ‘qnx’. Put the directory your ImagePath. If unsure you can copy put the directory in $HOME/.fvwm.

To use this decor first configure the Colorsets

#   1 - Inactive Windows
#   2 - Active Window
#   3 - Inactive Windows Borders
#   4 - Active Windows Borders
Colorset 1 fg rgb:00/00/00, bg rgb:80/80/80
Colorset 2 fg rgb:00/00/00, bg rgb:90/90/90
Colorset 3 fg rgb:00/00/00, bg rgb:80/80/80
Colorset 4 fg rgb:00/00/00, bg rgb:90/90/90

Next Bind actions to the window buttons. This decor uses use locations 1, 6, 4 and 2

# Window Button Locations [1 Title 642]
Mouse 1 2 A Close
Mouse 1 4 A Maximize
Mouse 1 6 A Iconify
Mouse 1 1 A Menu MenuWindowOps

Then define the Decor:

        LeftEnd  qnx/title-leftend-active.png, \

Last we need the Styles for the windows to use QNXDecor, the Colorsets and some other settings.
