NAME

       FvwmWinList - the FVWM window list module

SYNOPSIS

       FvwmWinList is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.

DESCRIPTION

       The  FvwmWinList  module provides a widow list made up of buttons, each corresponding to a
       window that FVWM is managing.  Clicking on the buttons with any of the three mouse buttons
       will  either  do  a  default  action  or  can be user configured.  Like the other modules,
       FvwmWinList only works when fvwm is used as the window manager.

COPYRIGHTS

       The FvwmWinList module is the original work of Mike Finger.

       Copyright 1994, Mike Finger. The author makes no guarantees  or  warranties  of  any  kind
       about the use of this module.  Use this modules at your own risk.  You may freely use this
       module or any portion of it for any purpose as long as the copyright is kept intact.

INITIALIZATION

       During initialization, FvwmWinList will scan the same configuration file  that  FVWM  used
       during  startup  to find the options that pertain to it.  These options are discussed in a
       later section.

INVOCATION

       FvwmWinList can be invoked by fvwm during initialization by  inserting  the  line  'Module
       FvwmWinList' in the .fvwmrc file.

       FvwmWinList  can  also be bound to a keystroke, mouse button, or menu option to be invoked
       later, in this case using 'Transient' as an argument will cause  FvwmWinList  to  resemble
       the built in window list.

       FvwmWinList must reside in a directory that is listed in the ModulePath option of FVWM for
       it to be executed by FVWM.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       The following options can be placed in the .fvwmrc file

       *FvwmWinListGeometry {+-}<X>x{+-}<Y>
              Specifies the location and gravity of the FvwmWinList window.  At the current time,
              size  is not supported and FvwmWinList will resize itself as buttons are added.  If
              the NoAnchor option is not specified  then  the  windows  gravity  corner  will  be
              anchored,  and  the  window  will  grow  in  the  opposite direction.  (i.e. If the
              geometry is specified -5-5, that is SoutEastGravity.  This will cause the window to
              draw up and to the left as windows are added)

       *FvwmWinListFont font
              Specifies the font to be used for labeling the buttons.

       *FvwmWinListFore color
              Specifies the color to use for the button names.

       *FvwmWinListBack color
              Specifies the color for the buttons.

       *FvwmWinListUseSkipList
              Tells  FvwmWinList to not show the windows that are listed on a WindowListSkip line
              if the configuration file.

       *FvwmWinListNoAnchor
              By default, FvwmWinList will anchor the gravity corner so the window will  grow  in
              the opposite direction.  This undoes that option.

       *FvwmWinListUseIconNames
              Tells  FvwmWinList  to  use  the icon name of the window instead of the full window
              name.  This is useful to keep the width of the window small.

       *FvwmWinListAction action response[,reponse...]
              Tells FvwmWinList to do response when action  is  done.   The  currently  supported
              actions  are:  Click1,  Click2,  Click3.  The currently supported responses are any
              fvwm built-in commands, including modules and functions.
