NAME

       FvwmScroll - the fvwm scroll-bar module

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  FvwmScroll  module  prompts  the user to select a target window, if the module was not launched from
       within a window context in Fvwm.  After that, it adds scroll bars to the selected window, to  reduce  the
       total desktop space consumed by the window.

       FvwmScroll  should  not  be used with windows which move or resize themselves, nor should it be used with
       windows which set the WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS property. Operation is fine with windows that  have  a  private
       colormap.

COPYRIGHTS

       The  FvwmScroll  program,  and  the  concept  for  interfacing this module to the Window Manager, are all
       original work by Robert Nation.

       Copyright 1994, Robert Nation. No guarantees or warranties or anything are provided or implied in any way
       whatsoever.  Use  this program at your own risk. Permission to use this program for any purpose is given,
       as long as the copyright is kept intact.

INITIALIZATION

       During initialization, FvwmScroll gets  config  info  from  fvwm's  module  configuration  database  (see
       fvwm(1), section MODULE COMMANDS) to determine which colors to use.

       If  the  FvwmScroll  executable  is  linked to another name, ie ln -s FvwmScroll MoreScroll, then another
       module called MoreScroll can be started, with  a  completely  different  configuration  than  FvwmScroll,
       simply by changing the keyword  FvwmScroll to MoreScroll.

INVOCATION

       FvwmScroll  can  be  invoked by binding the action 'Module FvwmScroll x y' to a menu or key-stroke in the
       .fvwm2rc file.  The parameter x and y are either integers or integers immediately followed by a p,  which
       describe  the  horizontal  and  vertical  size  modification  of  the window.  An integer describe a size
       reduction. An integer followed by a p describe a size as a percentage of the height or  the  width  of  a
       full  screen  but  the size is never larger than the original window size (0p will do nothing). Fvwm will
       search directory specified in the ModulePath  configuration  option  to  attempt  to  locate  FvwmScroll.
       Although nothing keeps you from launching FvwmScroll at start-up time, you probably don't want to.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       *FvwmScroll: Colorset n
              Tells the module to use colorset n. See FvwmTheme.

       *FvwmScroll: Back color
              Tells  the  module  to  use  color  instead  of  black for the window background. Switches off the
              Colorset option.

BUGS

       When the scroll bars are removed by clicking on the button in the lower right corner, the window does not
       restore its location correctly.
