Hi
I use FvwmBacker to set the root backgrounds, on some of the desktops I
use a pixmap image that is tiled. I would like to be able to add a
colour of choice to the pixmap, to give it a tint-like effect.

I'd be very grateful if anyone could offer a solution or some help.

would you be able/willing to share the relevent section of your config file to
show how you did it?
jamie
ke to see how other people have configured
their window manager as well, it always amazes me to see how versatile it is
and some people achieve really fantastic results.
jamie
't yet looked at using it as a task bar
though so not sure how tricky will be.
jamie
suggested and use use those two other modules,
I used to use them anyway but in a slightly different way.
Thanks to you both for your help.
Jamie
if so, do you know
how I can fix it. I'm sorry but I do not know of any debugging technique to
provide more information.
The version of fvwm I am using is 2.7.0 built using the FreeBSD port process.
Jamie
does this mean that libstroke needs other dependencies that aren't on my
system? does anyone have a set-up with fvwm that uses this and who might
know what i need to do? also, is it worth it :-)
jamie
nfigure and the
line i posted it confused me - i thought it wasn't picking up something
it should.
Not to worry and thanks for clearing that up for me.
Best wishes, jamie.
t say.
After running configure, the relevent line reads this:
With GNOME libs support in FvwmGtk? no: Can't find working gnome-config
i'm sure i must be missing something simple, just wondering if anyone
can give me some help.
Thanks
jamie.
