I have the following defined in my .fvwm2rc :
Mouse 0 1 A Menu Window-Ops2 Close
Mouse 0 2 A Close
Mouse 0 4 A Maximize
Mouse 0 6 A Iconify
# lightning bolt - system menu
ButtonStyle 1 8 35x15_at_1 20x50_at_1 40x50_at_0 30x80_at_1 75x40_at_0 50x40_at_1 75x15_at_0 35x15_at_1
# x - Close
ButtonStyle 2 17 20x20_at_1 30x20_at_1 50x40_at_1 70x20_at_1 80x20_at_1 80x30_at_0 60x50_at_0 80x70_at_1 80x80_at_0 70x80_at_0 50x60_at_0 30x80_at_0 20x80_at_0 20x70_at_0 40x50_at_1 20x30_at_0 20x20_at_1
# downward triangle - minimize
ButtonStyle 6 4 50x75_at_1 25x25_at_1 75x25_at_1 50x75_at_0
# large square - maximize
ButtonStyle 4 5 25x25_at_1 25x75_at_1 75x75_at_0 75x25_at_0 25x25_at_1
# small square - restore
#ButtonStyle 4 5 40x40_at_1 60x40_at_1 60x60_at_0 40x60_at_0 40x40_at_1
(swiped straight from the website and sample files, obviously)
What I want to do is use the small square for button 4 if the window is
fullscreen and the large square if it's neither fullscreen nor
iconified. I feel certain this is in the man pages somewhere, but I've
yet to come across it. I have no idea how to approach this.
I'd still like to work on (which may or may not be doable) :
* How to make windows resizable by dragging on the borders, in
addition to the corner handles (and disabling moving via borders)
* How to make a window truly maximize, rather than stop a few pixels
short of fullscreen; a nice touch would be to make it _really_
maximize, with no border showing and no movement possible while
maximized
* How to either get FvwmTaskBar to swallow FvwmPager, or remove the
border from FvwmPager (there is also some difficulty in getting focus
to return to a window after using the pager)
* How to remove the biff applet and clock from FvwmTaskBar
* How to remove the title and geometry info from the WindowList menu but
still have it pop up centered on the screen
* How to prevent the menu selection from automatically following the
mouse pointer and vice-versa
* How to get vector buttons to appear in a different color than the
titlebar
* How to make the handles thicker than the border
...but I'll work on these personal preferences as time allows. :)
Thanks for any advice on my first (real) question. Any input on the
subsequent wish list is appreciated (particularly if something is known
not possible).
