That's OK. You can also drop my email address from the Cc list, and just use "fvwm@fvwm.org" -- I don't do private FVWM consultancy. > I just know the window name and it is not necessary that the window is the > same window which I am currently working on so I am not sure if ThisWindow > would help. It won't, but you've given me a piece of information you did not before. Plus, my examples are just that. I am expecting you to know enough of what I tell you to apply it to your situation. I can see now this is something you're struggling with. > > I tried the command which you gave for one of the windows(I tried being in > the same as well as different window also), it ran with no output but I > didn't get any result. > > FvwmCommand 'ThisWindow "abc" Echo $[w.id]' Aside from anything else, that's not the example I gave you, nor is it valid FVWM syntax. I'm fine with you asking for clarification on something, but I do not like it when you don't put the effort in. You have some options: Next (WindowName) Echo $[w.id] This would take the next window in the ring and echo its window id. I am expecting you to replace "Echo" with something that uses "$[w.id]" -- the point of the example is to show you that "$[w.id]" expands to the ID of the specified window. Incidentally, the output from FVWM's Echo command will go to stderr, so you should check something like ~/.xsession-errors file to see it. -- Thomas Adam
