FvwmAnimate doesn't care about the NoIconTitle setting. It doesn't directly look at the NoIcon setting either. The NoIcon setting is necessary to get the modules to take over iconification. When a window is iconfied that has 'Style Icon' the fvwm main program puts the icon directly on the desktop and notfies FvwmAnimate about the event. Since you don't want desktop icons, you must convince one of the modules to send iconfication events to FvwmAnimate. That's what the NoIconAction settings do. They only work when there is no desktop icon, that's why you need 'Style NoIcon' in combination with the module. > 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. If Tavis' thumbnail function is in any way similar to the one described in the FAQ, the thumbnails are desktop icons. You need 'Style Icon'. -- Dan Espen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
