What version of FVWM are you using?
2.5.30
It used to be the case long ago that the Style command didn't apply immediately; the window had to be recaptured. But this doesn't happen anymore. Styles are applied as soon as they're encountered for the matched window(s), even if they're running.
I checked again that it's not the case for me. The changes are applied only after killing and restarting xclock Let's clarify one point: what I call "restarting fvwm" is using the fvwm command "restart", (which takes a fraction of second), not of course restarting the programm. Do we agree for that definition? If yes, I dont understand why using the restart function is bad: it's so easy to save the config file before doing changes, or to save the lines to modify by adding a #. It is a litle easier than copying the modified lines from an other file. Anyway, I tried FvwmConsole with "read debug", with half success: some changes ware taken into account (Pager geometry for example), but not the xclock style line, even after restarting xclock. -- Pierre Frenkiel
