Fvwm is lazy about applying styles to windows to reduce the number of useless updates. For example, if you read in a file that defines twenty new styles, you wouldn't want the windows to be updated twenty times. So, fvwm waits until no more commands are coming in and then updates all windows that need updates at the same time. The one situation where this is confusing is in complex functions. Styles will only be applied when the outermost function has completed. In your case, use the UpdateStyles command to apply style updates immediately. From the man page: > To force that all pending changes are applied immediately, use > the UpdateStyles, Refresh or RefreshWindow commands. (I'm not sure that the refresh commands would really do that.) Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt
