Hi, folks,
I would think this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find it anywhere...
I want to change the Icon of a window based on its name and/or icon
name. Simple, right? Well, it *almost* works for XEmacs.
In XEmacs, I have
(setq frame-title-format "%S: %b")
(setq frame-icon-title-format "%b")
which sets the name and icon name to "emacs: buffername" and
"buffername" respectively. In my .fvwm2rc, I have
Style "emacs" Icon gnu-animal.xpm
Style "emacs*INBOX*" Icon xmail.xpm, StickyIcon
Style "emacs* Summary$" Icon xmail.xpm, StickyIcon
Style "emacs*mail*" Icon xmail.xpm, StickyIcon
Style "emacs: *Group*" Icon news212.xpm
Style "emacs*Summary *" Icon news212.xpm
The idea is for a normal xemacs icon to be gnu-animal, a mail window to
be xmail, and a news window to be news212. It doesn't quite work: it
seems that the icon is determined by the name of the frame that
"created" the frame in question (since, I think, the new frame-name
isn't assigned until later in the process, after fvwm determines the
icon).
Does this make sense? Is there a fix? I can fix it now by creating new
frames (C-x 5 b) and destroying old ones (C-x 5 0), but that's
considerably less than automatic.
Thanks,
Andrew
