NAME

       FvwmDragWell - A XDND drag well

SYNOPSIS

       FvwmDragWell

       FvwmDragWell  is  a  Xdnd  drag  well.   The  user  sends  the  data and type to the drag well via a fvwm
       SendToModule command.  The drag well indicates that it received the information via  a  crude  animation.
       The  user  may  then  drag  the  information  from  the  well to other applications that support the Xdnd
       standard.  The fvwm module FvwmWharf accepts drops of type "text/uri-list".

INITIALIZATION

       During initialization, FvwmDragWell gets config info  from  fvwm's  module  configuration  database  (see
       fvwm(1),  section MODULE COMMANDS).  If the FvwmDragWell executable is linked to another name, i.e. ln -s
       FvwmDragWell OtherDragWell, then another module called OtherDragWell can be started,  with  a  completely
       different  configuration than FvwmDragWell, simply by changing the keyword FvwmDragWell to OtherDragWell.
       This way multiple FvwmDragWell programs may be used.

USE

       Data is sent to the module from fvwm using the SendToModule Command.  The form  of  the  send  to  module
       command is:

       SendToModule modulename dragtype type-string, dragdata data

       type-string  is  a quoted string that declares the type of "data" and how the data will be exported.  The
       "typestring" string is converted to an XAtom.  The user should use standard Mime  type  strings,  all  in
       lower case.  Note that the module does no data conversion.

       There  is  one exception to the above format.  If the datatype string is omitted, the module assumes that
       the user is passing a file or directory path.  In this case, the string "file://$hostname/" is  prepended
       to the data, and the data is exported as type "text/uri-list".

       Examples:

       SendToModule FvwmDragWell dragdata /usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.0

       On  hostname  saturn, the drag well will convert the data to "file://saturn/usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.0"
       and will export the data as type "text/uri-list".  The long form of this command would be

       SendToModule FvwmDragWell dragtype text/uri-list, \
            dragdata file://saturn/usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.3.8

INVOCATION

       FvwmDragWell must be invoked from fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       FvwmDragWell reads the same .fvwm2rc file as fvwm  reads  when  it  starts  up,  and  looks  for  certain
       configuration options:

       *FvwmDragWell: Geometry geometry
              Completely or partially specifies the Fvwm window location and geometry, in standard X11 notation.
              The default size is 48x48.

       *FvwmDragWell: DragWellGeometry geometry
              Specifies the geometry of the drag box in the FvwmDragWell window, in the standard  X11  notation.
              Default is 30x30+9+9

       *FvwmDragWell: Colorset  colorset
              The  colorset  is  used  for  the  background  and  shading of the drag well.  See the man page of
              FvwmTheme for a description of colorsets.

       *FvwmDragWell: Fore Color
              The foreground color.  The default foreground color is grey60.

       *FvwmDragWell: Back Color
              The background color.  The default background color is black.

       *FvwmDragWell: Shadow Color
              The shadow color of the button relief. The default foreground relief color is grey20.

       *FvwmDragWell: Hilite Color
              The hilight color of the button relief. The default background relief color is grey90.
