FvwmWinList(0.4g)				FvwmWinList(0.4g)

NAME
       FvwmWinList - the FVWM window list module

SYNOPSIS
       FvwmWinList is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invoca-
       tion will work.

DESCRIPTION
       The FvwmWinList module provides a widow list  made  up  of
       buttons, each corresponding to a window that FVWM is man-
       aging.  Clicking on the buttons	with  any  of  the  three
       mouse  buttons  will  either do a default action or can be
       user configured. Like the other modules, FvwmWinList only
       works when fvwm is used as the window manager.

COPYRIGHTS
       The  FvwmWinList module is the original work of Mike Fin-
       ger.

       Copyright 1994, Mike Finger. The author makes  no  guaran-
       tees  or warranties of any kind about the use of this mod-
       ule.  Use this modules at your own risk. You  may  freely
       use  this  module  or any portion of it for any purpose as
       long as the copyright is kept intact.

INITIALIZATION
       During initialization, FvwmWinList will scan the same con-
       figuration  file that FVWM used during startup to find the
       options that pertain to it.  These options  are	discussed
       in a later section.

INVOCATION
       FvwmWinList  can be invoked by fvwm during initialization
       by inserting the line 'Module FvwmWinList' in the  .fvwmrc
       file.

       FvwmWinList  can also be bound to a keystroke, mouse but-
       ton, or menu option to be  invoked  later,  in  this  case
       using 'Transient' as an argument will cause FvwmWinList to
       resemble the built in window list.

       FvwmWinList must reside in a directory that is  listed  in
       the  ModulePath	option	of  FVWM for it to be executed by
       FVWM.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       The following options can be placed in the .fvwmrc file

			  May 9th, 1994				1

FvwmWinList(0.4g)				FvwmWinList(0.4g)

       *FvwmWinListGeometry {+-}<X>x{+-}<Y>
	      Specifies the location and gravity of the FvwmWin-
	      List window.  At the current time, size is not sup-
	      ported and FvwmWinList will resize itself as  but-
	      tons  are added.	If  the	 NoAnchor option is not
	      specified then the windows gravity corner will  be
	      anchored, and the window will grow in the opposite
	      direction.  (i.e. If  the	 geometry  is	specified
	      -5-5, that is SoutEastGravity.  This will cause the
	      window to draw up and to the left as  windows  are
	      added)

       *FvwmWinListFont font
	      Specifies the font to be used for labeling the but-
	      tons.

       *FvwmWinListFore color
	      Specifies the color to use for the button names.

       *FvwmWinListBack color
	      Specifies the color for the buttons.

       *FvwmWinListUseSkipList
	      Tells FvwmWinList to not show the windows that  are
	      listed  on  a WindowListSkip line if the configura-
	      tion file.

       *FvwmWinListNoAnchor
	      By default, FvwmWinList  will  anchor  the  gravity
	      corner  so  the  window  will  grow in the opposite
	      direction.  This undoes that option.

       *FvwmWinListUseIconNames
	      Tells FvwmWinList to use the icon name of the  win-
	      dow  instead of the full window name.  This is use-
	      ful to keep the width of the window small.

       *FvwmWinListAction action response[,reponse...]
	      Tells FvwmWinList to do  response when  action  is
	      done.  The currently supported actions are: Click1,
	      Click2, Click3.  The currently supported	responses
	      are  any	fvwm built-in commands, including modules
	      and functions.
