I do. But that doesn't seem to change anything (I also played with the icon styles as shown below). By trial and error, I figured out that FvwmAnimate depends (at least on my machine) on the following lines in the config: Style * NoIcon Style * NoIconTitle You need to have one or both of these lines uncommented, or the animations are not available. Which is bad for me, cause I don't need minimized apps as icons cluttering my desktop. When I started out with fvwm, I used Tavis' thumbnail function, with these lines uncommented, which gave me my window snapshots on desktop, without the accompanying icons and without icon titles. I do remember perfectly well that FvwmAnimate worked with that config, and with either 'Style * NoIcon' or 'Style * NoIconTitle', or any enabled/disabled combination of the two. Then I switched to gnome-panel + appropriate applet, and FvwmAnimate also worked like expected. I guess I never used those plain icons on desktop without either Thumbnail Func or gnome-panel, so I noticed the problem with FvwmAnimate just now. PS: don't know if it was a move in the right direction, but I also tried smth like the following (to no avail, though): AddToFunc MyIconify + I Iconify on + I SendToModule FvwmAnimate animate $[w.x] $[w.y] $[w.width] $[w.height] 0 400 0 0 ... and used this Func instead of plain Iconify. No good. Thanks to everyone who tried to help, especially Olivier. I guess it's not a big deal that FvwmAnimate behaves this way, I just liked it a lot for its versatility, especially in comparison with poor Windoze animations, which I switch off at all times =) -- WBR, Andrei Popov Using FVWM 2.5.12
