NAME
FvwmIconMan - an fvwm icon manager
SYNOPSIS
FvwmIconMan is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.
DESCRIPTION
FvwmIconMan is an icon manager modeled after the TWM icon manager. The user may have
multiple icon managers, each of which armed with a list of window types which it manages.
For example, the user may have one manager which lists only emacs windows, and another
which lists everything else. You may also specify what resolution each icon manager uses,
for example, one icon manager may manage windows on all desks, and another may manage only
those on the current desk, page or screen. FvwmIconMan can display the miniature icons
provided by fvwm for its managed windows. The managers may have a maximum number of
columns (and so grows vertically), a maximum number of rows (and then grows horizontally),
or stay at a fixed size, and adjust the size of the window buttons to fit (think win95's
Taskbar). And when support is compiled in for the X Shape extension, then the manager
windows may be shaped.
You can specify actions to be run when mouse, or key events are received. For example, you
could bind the first mouse button to iconify the selected window, and make bindings for
the arrow keys to navigate the manager window without the mouse.
FvwmIconMan can be set to display which window currently has the keyboard focus, and by
binding the select event (see below) to the fvwm Focus function, you can emulate the TWM
icon manager's behavior.
INITIALIZATION
During initialization, FvwmIconMan searches though the fvwm configuration file for the
options which are described below. It is highly recommended that you make FvwmIconMan be a
sticky window. And if you want to make use of the followfocus option, and/or binding an
action to Focus, then you should make FvwmIconMan clicktofocus. Also, when using the Shape
option, it's recommended that the FvwmIconMan window not be decorated at all by fvwm.
INVOCATION
FvwmIconMan can be invoked by inserting the line 'Module FvwmIconMan' in the .fvwm2rc
file. If FvwmIconMan is to be spawned during fvwm's initialization, then this line should
be placed in the StartFunction declarations, or it can be bound to a menu, mouse button,
or keystroke to invoke it later.
If you wish to run FvwmIconMan in a transient mode, such as with the built in window list,
then pass "-Transient" as an argument. The invocation "Module FvwmIconMan -Transient" will
do nicely. In this mode, FvwmIconMan will pop up one manager window directly under the
cursor. When the mouse button is released, it will execute the appropriate action, and
then exit. Things are somewhat complicated by the fact that you can specify that
FvwmIconMan creates multiple manager windows, behavior which is unsuitable when running
transiently. So, when running transiently, FvwmIconMan will only create one manager
window. Use the manager id 'transient' to specify options for this manager window.
FvwmIconMan may accept an alias name as an argument. For example, "Module FvwmIconMan
FvwmIconMan-Variant2".

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
With the exception of the nummanagers option, all of the options may be defined on a per-
manager basis. So, for example, the user may have his emacs manager with a red foreground,
and his xterm manager with a blue one. A configuration line may therefore have one of two
forms:
*FvwmIconMan: OptionName OptionValue
To specify that the OptionName takes the value OptionValue for all managers.
*FvwmIconMan: ManagerId OptionName OptionValue
To specify that the option OptionName takes the value OptionValue for manager
ManagerId. ManagerId may either be a positive integer, or the string "transient".
An integer id refers to managers which FvwmIconMan creates when running normally,
and an id of "transient" refers to the single manager which FvwmIconMan creates
when running transiently.
The old syntax, that uses an asterisk instead of white spaces before ManagerId and
OptionName, is supported too, but it is obsolete now.
The following options may be specified:
*FvwmIconMan: NumManagers num
num is a positive integer specifying the total number of icon managers. Since
FvwmIconMan would like to know how many managers there are before handling any
manager specific options, this should come first. The default is 1.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] Action type binding
Binds an FvwmIconMan command to an event. Type may be one of the values: Key,
Mouse, or Select. Actions are described in the following section ACTIONS.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] Background background
Specifies the default background color.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] ButtonGeometry geometry
Specifies the initial geometry of an individual button in pixels. If the specified
height is 0, then the button height is determined from the font size. X and Y
coordinates are ignored.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] Colorset colorset
The default colorset used. Overrides background and foreground. See FvwmTheme.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] DrawIcons value
If your version of fvwm is capable of using mini icons, then this option determines
if FvwmIconMan displays the mini icons. Otherwise, it generates an error message.
"true" means that mini icons are shown for iconified windows, "false" that mini
icons are never shown, and "always" that mini icons are shown for all windows.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] FocusAndSelectButton style [forecolor backcolor]
Same as the plainbutton option, but specifies the look of buttons which are both
selected, and have the keyboard focus.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] FocusAndSelectColorset colorset
Works like focusandselectbutton but uses colorsets instead. The style setting can
still only be applied with focusandselectbutton. See FvwmTheme.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] FocusButton style [forecolor backcolor]
Same as the plainbutton option, but specifies the look of buttons whose windows
have the keyboard focus.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] FocusColorset colorset
Works like focusbutton but uses colorsets instead. The style setting can still
only be applied with focusbutton. See FvwmTheme.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] FollowFocus boolean
If true, then the button appearance reflects which window currently has focus.
Default is false.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] Font font
Specifies the font to be used for labeling the buttons. The default is 8x13.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] Foreground foreground
Specifies the default foreground color.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] Format formatstring
A printf like format string which describes the string to be printed in the manager
window for each managed window. Possible flags are: %t, %i, %c, and %r for the
window's title, icon title, class, or resource name, respectively. The default is
"%c: %i". Warning: m4 reserves the word format, so if you use m4, take appropriate
action.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] IconName iconstring
Specifies the window icon name for that manager window. Iconstring may either be a
single word, or a string enclosed in quotes. The default is "FvwmIconMan".
*FvwmIconMan: [id] IconButton style [forecolor backcolor]
Same as the plainbutton option, but specifies the look of buttons whose windows are
iconified.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] IconColorset colorset
Works like iconbutton but uses colorsets instead. The style setting can still only
be applied with iconbutton. See FvwmTheme.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] ManagerGeometry geometry
Specifies the initial geometry of the manager, in units of buttons. If height is 0,
then the manager will use width columns, and will grow vertically once it has more
than width windows. Likewise, if width is 0, it will use height rows, and grow
horizontally. If both are nonzero, then the manager window will be exactly that
size, and stay that way. As columns are created, the buttons will narrow to
accommodate. If the geometry is specified with a negative y coordinate, then the
window manager will grow upwards. Otherwise, it will grow downwards.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] MaxButtonWidth width
Defines a maximum for the width of a button (in pixels). By default there is no
maximum. A value of 0 resets the default. The maximum is only used with a non
growing manager (the ManagerGeometry option specifies non zero width and height).
*FvwmIconMan: [id] MaxButtonWidthByColumns col
This is another way to set the button width. col is the number of columns of
icons. The button width is determined by dividing the total width of FvwmIconMan
by the number of columns. For example if the width of FvwmIconMan manager is 1024,
MaxButtonWidthByColumns is 4 then MaxButtonWidth is 256. This is useful when you
do not know, at config time, the width of the manager, for example, for a swallowed
FvwmIconMan.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] NoIconAction action
Tells FvwmIconMan to do action when a NoIcon style window is iconified or de-
iconified. Relevant coordinates are appended to action so that the icon can be
traced to an FvwmIconMan button. An example action is "*FvwwmIconMan: NoIconAction
SendToModule FvwmAnimate animate". A blank or null action turns this feature off.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] PlainButton style [forecolor backcolor]
Specifies how normal buttons look. style may be one of flat, up, down, raisededge,
or sunkedge, and describes how the button is drawn. The color options are both
optional, and if not set, then the default colors are used. If on a monochrome
screen, then the style option is ignored, but must still be set.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] PlainColorset colorset
Works like plainbutton but uses colorsets instead. The style setting can still
only be applied with plainbutton. See FvwmTheme.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] ReliefThickness num
num is an integer specifying the number of pixels thick that the relief at the edge
of non-flat buttons should be. Setting this to 0 will produce flat buttons, as if
the values for FocusAndSelectButton, FocusButton, IconButton, PlainButton,
SelectButton, and TitleButton were all set to flat. If num is negative, the button
will be inverted as if you had used Reverse for all classes.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] Resolution resolution
Specifies when the manager will display an entry for a certain window. resolution
may take one of the following values: global, desk, page, screen, !desk, !page, or
!screen. If global, then all windows of the appropriate type (see the show and
dontshow options below) will be shown. If desk, then only those windows on the
current desk are shown. If page, then only those windows on the current page are
shown. If screen, then only those windows on the current Xinerama screen are shown.
!desk reverses the sense of desk, displaying only those windows not on the current
desk. Likewise, !page shows only those windows not on the current page and !screen
shows only those windows not on the current Xinerama screen. The default is page.
If Xinerama is not active or only a single screen is used, page and screen are
equivalent.
This configuration line is respected when FvwmIconMan is running as well, the
resolution is changed dynamically.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] Reverse class
Causes certain classes of buttons to have their relief lines reversed so that up
and down styles are reversed. This has no affect on flat buttons. The class can be
icon, normal or none. The default is none.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] SelectButton style [forecolor backcolor]
Same as the plainbutton option, but specifies the look of buttons when the mouse is
over them.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] SelectColorset colorset
Works like selectbutton but uses colorsets instead. The style setting can still
only be applied with selectbutton. See FvwmTheme.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] Shape boolean
If True, then use make the window shaped. Probably only useful if you have multiple
columns or rows. If FvwmIconMan wasn't compiled to support the Shape extension,
this generates an error message. When using shaped windows, it's recommended that a
fvwm style is made for FvwmIconMan that has no borders. Otherwise, fvwm will get
confused.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] Sort value
If name, then the manager list is sorted by name. If namewithcase, then it is
sorted by name sensitive to case. If id, then the manager list is sorted by the
window id, which never changes after the window is created. If weighted, then the
manager list is sorted by weight (see the description of sortweight below). Or it
can be set to none, which results in no sorting. Default is name.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] SortWeight weight pattern-list
Assigns the specified weight to windows that match pattern-list. The list is made
up of patterns of the form type=pattern, where type is one of class, resource,
title, or icon, and pattern is an expression of the same format used in the fvwm
style command (minimalistic shell pattern matching). Multiple sort weights can be
given. Each window is matched against the list of sort weights, in order, and is
given the weight from the first match. Lower-weighted windows are placed first in
the manager list. For example:
*FvwmIconMan: Sort weighted
*FvwmIconMan: SortWeight 1 class=XTerm title=special*
*FvwmIconMan: SortWeight 10 class=XTerm
*FvwmIconMan: SortWeight 5
In this example, xterm windows whose titles start with "special" (weight 1) are
listed first, followed by everything but other xterms (weight 5), and the other
xterms (weight 10) are listed last. If no default weight (empty pattern list) is
given, the default weight is 0. Only relevant if the sort type is set to weighted.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] Title title-string
Specifies the window title string for that manager window. Titlestring may either
be a single word, or a string enclosed in quotes. The default is "FvwmIconMan".
This will be drawn in the title bar of the manager window, if any, and in the title
button, which is the button drawn when the manager is empty.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] TitleButton style [forecolor backcolor]
Same as the plainbutton option, but specifies the look of the title button (the
button drawn when the manager is empty). The manager's title is drawn in the title
button.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] UseWinList boolean
If true, then honor the WinListSkip style flag. Otherwise, all windows are subject
to possible management according to the show and dontshow lists.
The two following options control which windows get handled by which managers. A manager
can get two lists, one of windows to show, and one of windows to ignore. If only the show
list is given, then that manager will show only the windows in the list. If only the
DontShow list is given, then the manager will show all windows except those in the list.
If both lists are given, then a window will be shown if it is not in the DontShow list,
and in the Show list. And finally, if neither list is given, then the manager will handle
all windows. Each list is made up of patterns of the form type=pattern, where type is one
of class, resource, title, or icon, and pattern is an expression of the same format used
in the fvwm style command (minimalistic shell pattern matching). Quotes around the pattern
will be taken as part of the expression. If a window could be handled by more than one
manager, then the manager with the lowest id gets it.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] Show pattern list
If a window matches one of the patterns in the list, then it may be handled by this
manager.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] DontShow pattern list
If a window matches one of the patterns in the list, then it may not be handled by
this manager.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] ShowTransient boolean
Show transient windows in the list (default false).
*FvwmIconMan: [id] ShowOnlyIcons boolean
Only iconified windows are shown if boolean is true.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] ShowNoIcons boolean
Only windows that are not iconified are shown if boolean is true.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] ShowOnlyFocused boolean
Only window with the focus is shown if boolean is true.
The following two options control tips.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] Tips value
where value can be always, needed or false. Default is false, no tips are
displayed. With always, tips are enabled. With needed, a tip is displayed only if
either the button string is truncated or the tip string is not equal to the button
string. This configuration line is respected when FvwmIconMan is running as well.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] TipsDelays delay [mappeddelay]
where delay and mappeddelay are time out values in milliseconds. If no mappeddelay
is given delay is assumed. Default is 1000 300. When the cursor is on a button,
FvwmIconMan wait delay milliseconds before displaying the tip. In the case where a
tip is already mapped and the cursor goes to another button, FvwmIconMan waits
mappeddelay milliseconds before displaying the new tip.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] TipsFont fontname
Specifies the font to be used for tips. Default is the default fvwm font.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] TipsColorset colorset
Specifies the colors for tips window. Default is colorset 0. See FvwmTheme.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] TipsFormat formatstring
Similar to the Format option but for the tips window. The default is the format
string from the Format option.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] TipsBorderWidth pixels
Specifies the border width (in pixels) of the tips window. Default is 1.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] TipsPlacement value
where value can be up, down, right, left, updown or leftright. This value specifies
the position of the tips window relative to its button. Default is updown where
buttons on the top half of the screen get tips below the button, otherwise the tips
are above the button.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] TipsJustification value
where value can be leftup, rightdown or center. Specifies the justification
(direction) of the tips window relative to its button after the tips window has
been placed. Default is leftup which means that if a tip is placed above or below
its button, then the left border of the tip and of the button are aligned. If the
tip is placed on the left or on the right of its button, leftup aligns the top
borders. rightdown and center work like leftup but in different directions. The
alignment is adjusted by the TipsOffset option. See next option.
*FvwmIconMan: [id] TipsOffsets placementoffset justoffset
where placementoffset and justoffset are offsets in pixels for the TipsPlacement
and TipsJustification configuration option. Default is 3 2.
ACTIONS
Actions are commands which may be bound to an event of the type: a key press, a mouse
click, or the mouse entering a window manager button - denoted by the action types Key,
Mouse, and Select.
Normally, actions bound to a mouse click are executed when the button is pressed. In
transient mode, the action is executed when the button is released, since it is assumed
that FvwmIconMan was bound to some mouse event. A tip/warning: FvwmIconMan still keeps
track of the mouse button and any modifier keys in this case, so if you bind FvwmIconMan
to say, meta-button3, then it would be wise to ensure that the action you want to execute
will be executed when the meta-button3 event occurs (which would be the button release,
assuming you kept your finger on the meta key).
The syntax for actions are:
Key actions: Key Keysym Modifiers FunctionList
Keysym and Modifiers are exactly the same as for the fvwm Key command.
Mouse actions: Mouse Button Modifiers FunctionList
Button and Modifiers are exactly the same as for the fvwm Mouse command.
Select actions: Select FunctionList
A FunctionList is a sequence of commands separated by commas. They are executed in left to
right order, in one shared context - which currently only contains a pointer to the
"current" button. If a button is selected (typically by the mouse pointer sitting on it)
when the action is executed, then the current button is initialized to that button.
Otherwise, it points to nothing.
Most of the available commands then modify this "current" button, either by moving it
around, making it become the selected button, or sending commands to fvwm acting on the
window represented by that button. Note that while this current button is initialized to
be the selected button, the selected button does not implicitly follow it around. This
way, the user can send commands to various windows, without changing which button is
selected.
Commands take five types of arguments: Integer, Manager, Window, Button, and String. A
String is a string specified exactly as for fvwm - either in quotes or as a single word
not in quotes. Again, you may bind a sequence of commands to an event, by listing them
separated by commas.
Window and Button types look exactly the same in the .fvwm2rc file, but are interpreted as
either specifying a managed window, or a FvwmIconMan button representing a window. They
can either be an integer (which is interpreted module N where N is the number of buttons -
so 0 is the first and -1 is the last), or one of the strings: Select, Focus, Up, Down,
Right, Left, Next, Prev. Select and Focus refer to the currently selected or focused
button or window. Up, Down, Right, and Left refer to the button or window above, below, to
the right of, or to the left of the current button in the manager window, allowing
navigation around the manager window. Next and Prev designates the window, button, or
manager after or before the current button, allowing navigation of the one dimensional
list of windows which is drawn in the manager window. If the manager is sorted, Next and
Prev move through the windows in the sorted order.
The Manager type can either be an integer, Next, or Prev. The meaning is analogous to
that of the Button type, but in terms of the integral index of the managers, restricted to
managers which are nonempty.
The following functions are currently defined:
bif Button Integer/String
A relative branch instruction. If Button is Select or Focus, then take the branch
if there is a selected button or a focused button. If Button is an integer, then
branch if nonzero. If it is one of Up, Down, Right, Left, Next, Prev, then the
branch is taken when the current button can move in that direction. If the branch
is taken, then Integer commands are skipped. No backwards branches are allowed.
bifn Button Integer/String
The complement of bif. The branch is taken if Button evaluates to false, by the
criteria listed for bif.
gotobutton Button
Sets current button to Button. If Button is an integer, then the current button is
set to Button modulo the number of buttons, in the whichever manager contains the
selected button, if any.
gotomanager Manager
Sets button to button 0 of Manager. This will only go to a visible, nonempty
manager. So an integral argument is taken modulo the number of such managers.
jmp Integer/String
Executes a relative jump of Integer instructions. Backwards jumps are not allowed.
The jump is computed relative to the instruction following the jmp.
label String
Provides a label that previous instructions can jump to. It will not be visible to
subsequent jump instructions, and the same label can be used multiple times in the
same instruction list (though it would be perverse to do so.)
print String
Prints String to the console. Useful for debugging actions.
printdebug
Prints defined actions to the console. Should only be used by developers. To
enable this command, set CONFIG and FUNCTIONS variables to '1' in the
modules/FvwmIconMan/debug.h and recompile this module.
quit Quits FvwmIconMan.
refresh
Causes all manager windows to redraw themselves.
ret Stop executing the entire action.
searchback String
Sets button to button before the current one whose printed string in the manager
window matches specified String, which may contain wildcards.
searchforward String
Sets button to button after the current one whose printed string in the manager
window matches specified String, which may contain wildcards.
select Selects the current button, if any. If a select action has been specified, it will
then be run. Therefore, it is considered unwise to set the select button in the
select action.
sendcommand Command
Sends the fvwm command Command to the window represented by the current button, if
any.
warp Warps cursor to current button, if any.
Examples:
gotobutton select, gotobutton Down, select
Selects the button below the currently selected button. Since the current button is
already initialized to the selected button, this may be shortened to "gotobutton Down,
select".
gotobutton Up, select
Selects the button above the currently selected button.
gotobutton 0, select
Selects the first button of the current manager. If there is no current manager, which is
the case when no button is selected, then this does nothing.
gotobutton -1, select
Selects the last button of the current manager.
gotobutton focus, select
Selects the button corresponding to the focused window.
gotobutton focus, Iconify
Sends the fvwm command Iconify to the focused window. Note that this does not change the
selected button.
bif Next 3, gotobutton 0, select, ret, gotobutton Next, select
If a button is selected, and it's the last button, go to button 0. If it's not the last
button, go to the next button. Otherwise, do nothing. Basically, this action cycles
through all buttons in the current manager.
bif select 7, bif focus 3, gotomanager 0, select, ret, gotobutton focus, \
select, ret, gotobutton down, select
This is good for sending to FvwmIconMan with a SendToModule command. If there is a
selected button, it moves down. Otherwise, if there is a focused button, it is selected.
Otherwise, button 0 of manager 0 gets selected.
bif select Select, bif focus Focus, gotomanager 0, select, ret, label Focus, \
gotobutton focus, select, ret, label Select, gotobutton down, select
Same as previous, but using the label instruction.
In addition to being bound to keys and mice, actions can be sent from fvwm to FvwmIconMan
via the SendToModule command. Don't quote the command when using SendToModule. Also, due
to a bug in the current version of fvwm, don't quote FvwmIconMan either.
SAMPLE CONFIGURATIONS
This first example is of a the simplest invocation of FvwmIconMan, which only has one
manager, and handles all windows:

This example is the Reader's Digest version of my personal configuration. It has two
managers, one for emacs and one for everything else, minus things with no icon title. Only
windows on the current page are displayed. The use of the drawicons and shape options
requires that fvwm and FvwmIconMan we compiled with the correct options. Note how the

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
There is one bug that I know of. A honest to goodness solution to this would be
appreciated. When an icon manager is set to grow upwards or leftwards, on some machines it
may wander occasionally.
It doesn't handle windows without resource names as gracefully as it should.
