Perhaps a sample of FvwmButtons/FvwmIconMan fvwmtaskbar replacement code can be put into the wiki so that everyone currently using fvwmtaskbar doesnt have to dumpster dive thru the forum.

Well, i got the FvwmIconMan/FvwmButtons pair looking like my fvwmtaskbar. Two differences: fvwmtaskbar had a shared mail checker/date display. I dont know of an easy way to get both, so now it's just an xclock display. fvwmtaskbar colorset colors show up lighter than the same colorset in FvwmIconMa

Speaking of 2.6.3, I'd found what I think is a bug ((Icon)TitleFormat doesnt quite work like IndexedWindowName for one window) and reported it to fvwm_workers, but i don't see it on that list's archive. If it doesnt show up on the archive, does that mean that the msg didnt go thru?

Version 2.6.3: Previous versions only added the "(%t)" when there was a repeated name. The new code always adds it. I worked around the %t in add_window.c by checking if count was non-zero, tho that wouldnt kill the parens, which i changed to a space in my fvwmrc.

fvwm is a more of a window manager toolkit. You use it to build your own window manager. That used to be more obvious when the default config was really uselessly minimal.

I'm guessing it's 1.0.6 as borders.c is a few days old. borders.c was changed so that mwmborder no longer creates a minimal button relief. It's either no border or raised/sunk. Removing mwmborder from config restores the minimal window border, but not button border. I changed the 2 : 2 to 1 ; 1
