Re: FVWM: [Draft] New Configuration Format

2016-09-23 Thread Ethan Raynor
Hi, I have been using fvwm for a while and I think that this idea of changing the config format is ill thought out and silly. Why does this need changing now after all these years? I can't see how you expect a script to convert to this new format easily - its a very lofty goal. Don't do this at a

FVWM: fvwm3???

Hi, I was just browsing the fvwm git repository and saw that things have been busy this weekend - I hope this means fvwm development is happening again? It has been really slow for years - nothing happening. https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm/blob/ta/next/FVWM3.md Does this mean fvwm2 is dead? Does

2020-02-05 Thread Ethan Raynor
Hi, Does fvwm have XRandR support yet? What I'm hoping for is: 1. Independent monitors (desks per monitor) 2. rotation & reflection Is this possible in fvwm yet? many other WM's out there offer RandR support. Ta!

FVWM: multiple monitors with fvwm

2020-06-12 Thread Ethan Raynor
Hi everyone, Can i please get some advise about how to make fvwm work well with multiple monitors? i'm after the following: - separate workspaces per monitor - this would allow monitor independence from each other, which is important to me with lots of graphics design - fvwmpager - i have a very

FVWM: Move windows to a new desk preserving pages

Hi, I'm trying to understand how I can move all windows from desk X to desk Y without losing where the windows on desk X are in terms of their pages. I know I can do something like: All (Desk 1) MoveToDesk 2 But all this does is take every window on desk 1 (regardless of page) and move those wi

FVWM: fvwm2 vs fvwm3

2021-03-20 Thread Ethan Raynor
Hi everyone, I've been using fvwm3 for a few months, and have realised that its config file is the same as fvwm2. On the fvwm2's github repo README, I note that it has been put in maintenance mode and that use of fvwm3 is preferred. I'm OK with that, but can anyone here tell me what the plan is
