This might need some modifications to FvwmIconMan, because the last time I tried to do this only one FIM instance at a time could manage a given window. If not changed, that would mean that the FIM instance used as a pop-up list of all windows would not include any windows already managed by a persistent FIM instance. - cks

Yes. This is what "tweaks" refers to here.

The nice thing fvwmtaskbar did was to share the button, so that it was a mail icon when you had mail, and "xclock" otherwise. > fvwmtaskbar colorset colors show up lighter than the same colorset in > FvwmIconMan or elsewhere.. I'm using the same colorsets for FvwmTaskbar and FvwmIconMan. Maybe one module uses more of the colorset parameters than another. Colorset 4 fg black, bg orange, fgsh black, sh black, hi orange Colorset 5 fg black, bg #d8ffa0,fgsh black, sh tan , hi tan Colorset 6 fg black, bg #90,fgsh black, sh #90, hi #90 *FvwmIconMan: Colorset 5 *FvwmIconMan: FocusColorset 4 *FvwmIconMan: IconColorset 6 *FvwmTaskBar: Colorset 5 *FvwmTaskBar: IconColorset 6 *FvwmTaskBar: FocusColorset 4

Which you can do in FvwmButtons anyway.

Nope. This is not how programming works.

These look the same according to my tired eyes, and also what gcolor2 made
of them. So I'll trust gcolor2.

Re: FVWM: Task Bar Disappearing
My FvwmIconMan buttons for iconified windows are always flat, whether I set IconButton or not. My non-iconified window buttons react to the settings just fine. I'm running 2.7.0.
FVWM: ButtonPress, ButtonRelease propagation
Hello, I have question about ButtonPress, ButtonRelease release propagation. FVWM version 2.5.1 We have a mouse and a trackball attached to our system. We have applications interested in processing the trackball event in a special way so it's interested in the ButtonPress and ButtonRelease events. We found that in add_window.c fvwm unconditionally turns of the event propagation of these events attributes.do_not_propagate_mask = ButtonPressMask | ButtonReleaseMask; XChangeWindowAttributes(dpy, FW_W(fw), valuemask, &attributes); Could you help us what's the reason behind it? And what consequences it might have if we remove this limitation? Thanks a lot for your help! Best regards, Lorinc
