FvwmScroll - the FVWM scroll-bar module
</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
FvwmScroll is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invoca-
tion will work.
</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The FvwmScroll module prompts the user to select a target
window, if the module was not launched from within a win-
dow context in Fvwm. After that, it adds scroll bars to
the selected window, to reduce the total desktop space
consumed by the window.
FvwmScroll reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when
it starts up, and looks for lines similar to "*FvwmScroll-
Fore green".
FvwmScroll should not be used with windows which move or
resize themselves, nor should it be used with windows
which set the WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS property. Operation is
fine with windows that have a private colormap.
</PRE>
<H2>COPYRIGHTS</H2><PRE>
The FvwmScroll program, and the concept for interfacing
this module to the Window Manager, are all original work
by Robert Nation.
Copyright 1994, Robert Nation. No guarantees or warranties
or anything are provided or implied in any way whatsoever.
Use this program at your own risk. Permission to use this
program for any purpose is given, as long as the copyright
is kept intact.
</PRE>
<H2>INITIALIZATION</H2><PRE>
During initialization, <I>FvwmScroll</I> will eventually search a
configuration file which describes the colors to use. The
configuration file is the same file that fvwm used during
initialization.
If the FvwmScroll executable is linked to another name, ie
ln -s FvwmScroll MoreScroll, then another module called
MoreScroll can be started, with a completely different
configuration than FvwmScroll, simply by changing the key-
word FvwmScroll to MoreScroll.
</PRE>
<H2>INVOCATION</H2><PRE>
file. The parameter x and y are integers, which describe
the horizontal and vertical window size reduction. Fvwm
will search directory specified in the ModulePath configu-
ration option to attempt to locate FvwmScroll. Although
nothing keeps you from launching FvwmScroll at start-up
time, you probably don't want to.
</PRE>
<H2>CONFIGURATION OPTIONS</H2><PRE>
FvwmScroll reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when
it starts up, and looks for lines as listed below:
*FvwmScrollFore <I>color</I>
Tells the module to use <I>color</I> instead of grey for
scroll bars themselves.
*FvwmScrollBack <I>color</I>
Tells the module to use <I>color</I> instead of black for
the window background.
</PRE>
<H2>BUGS</H2><PRE>
When the scroll bars are removed by clicking on the button
in the lower right corner, the window does not restore its
location correctly.
