While I'm not having any big difference in screenshots since last time, I wanted to share my new experience with FVWM
for last 2 days I've been playing with FvwmM4 module, and I'm amazed.
I rewrote my entire config so it's now preprocessed with FvwmM4 and then loaded in Fvwm, this way I can make more portable (and easier to port) configuration, replace lots of sh, with m4, speed up, loading/reloading.
If all that sounds great, then check this out:
my config, can adjust to different screen sizes without need of editing it. All parameters are calculated with m4 during load/reload :d
It even calculates size for terminal, when you want to run it across entire screen
http://github.com/killasmurf86/ks86-dotfiles/blob/master/.fvwm/config.m4
to use this config, in
~/.xinitrc you need to change
to
Code:
[B]exec fvwm -cmd "FvwmM4 -m4-prefix-defines config.m4" > $HOME/.fvwm/log 2>&1[/B]
like
this
you can check out my entire config at
http://github.com/killasmurf86/ks86-dotfiles
NOTE: it's still pretty new config, it probably have bugs, and is not well tested on different shapes and sizes of monitors, but it should work.
NOTE: to test FvwmM4 generated fvwm2rc result, press
super_l+shift+mouse1 on desktop (super_l is the one with windows icon), and pick
Check m4 result
NOTE on NOTE: for some PC's it might not work, because Editor (in my case vim) doesn't wait for Fvwm4M to finish, but on my pc so it happens, that by the time vim loads the file, it's already fully generated
Fvwm Rocks
EDIT:
oh, and if you think that my current fvwm config is big, (1173 lines) it used to be
much bigger and uglier (1431 lines)
