The function I've posted? Well the aim is to get something similar to
what MacOSX does. Let me explain the whole history. I borrowed the
idea from here:
http://zensites.net/fvwm/guide/advanced_functions.html
And combined it with what I've read in the fvwm.org FAQ:
http://www.fvwm.org/documentation/faq/#toc_7.18
Note that Thomas put two versions in the FAQ, the first using
DestrowWindowStyle and the second using SetEnv.
I got the thing working (the function I've pasted in my second message),
I simplified a bit the pipe commands (used just import) and instead of
icons like the guy of the first site did I used mini icons at the top of
the thumbnail. The result I got was:
http://roquesor.com/Downloads/fvwm_desktop.png
The problem came because, time ago I'd borrowed from some place (I don't
remember from where) a ShowDesktop function, I modified it a bit too:
DestroyFunc ShowDesktop
AddToFunc ShowDesktop
+ I SendToModule FvwmAnimate pause
+ I All (AcceptsFocus, CurrentPage, Iconic, State 1) RestoreDesktop
+ I TestRc (Match) Break
+ I All (AcceptsFocus, CurrentPage, !Iconic, !State 1) ThisWindow State 1 True
+ I All (AcceptsFocus, CurrentPage, !Iconic, State 1) Thumbnail
^^^^^^^^^
(replaced with Iconify)
+ I SendToModule FvwmAnimate play
DestroyFunc RestoreDesktop
AddToFunc RestoreDesktop
+ I SendToModule FvwmAnimate pause
+ I All (AcceptsFocus, CurrentPage, Iconic, State 1, !Focused) Iconify
+ I All (AcceptsFocus, CurrentPage, Iconic, State 1) Iconify
+ I All (AcceptsFocus, CurrentPage, State 1) ThisWindow State 1 False
+ I SendToModule FvwmAnimate play
Thumbnail was too slow for this function, the idea is ShowDesktop to be
instantaneous. Hence I put here "Iconify". I forgot DeThumbnail
function :-), FvwmEvent reseted the icon each time the application was
de-iconified that's why the icon setted in styles worked just the first
time and the IconOverride was ignored.
