fvwm-convert-2.4(1)		 FVWM Modules		   fvwm-convert-2.4(1)

NAME
       fvwm-convert-2.4	 -  convert  FVWM 2.2.x configuration file to FVWM 2.4
       syntax

SYNOPSIS
       fvwm-convert-2.4 [source] [dest]

DESCRIPTION
       fvwm-convert-2.4 converts an FVWM 2.2.x configuration file into an FVWM
       2.4 compatible syntax.  It is not suitable to convert older 1.x config‐
       uration files.  Please use fvwm-convert-2.2 to  convert	these  to  the
       2.2.x format first.

       By default, fvwm-convert-2.4 converts ~/.fvwm2rc, saving the results in
       ~/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc.  You must create the ~/.fvwm directory before running
       this  command.  Starting with the 2.4 release, the directory ~/.fvwm is
       the default location for	 fvwm  user  configuration  files.   Different
       source  and  destination	 files	may be given.  If the destination file
       already exists, this program exits.  While the  program	runs  it  will
       generate	 a  temporary  file with the same name as the destination file
       with the suffix ".pass1" added.

       fvwm-convert-2.4 makes the following changes:

       PixmapPath/IconPath
	   In fvwm 2.4, the PixmapPath and IconPath commands are  replaced  by
	   the	ImagePath command.  In addition, the ImagePath can be compiled
	   into fvwm.  fvwm-convert-2.4 changes the  PixmapPath	 and  IconPath
	   commands to ImagePath commands and removes any directories that are
	   compiled into fvwm.	Paths starting with a  dollar  sign  are  also
	   removed.

       ModulePath
	   In  fvwm  2.4,  the	ModulePath  is	compiled into fvwm.  fvwm-con‐
	   vert-2.4 removes any ModulePath commands  it	 finds.	  If  you  are
	   using  your	own  modules,  (not the ones that come with fvwm), you
	   will have to fix your  configuration	 file  after  using  fvwm-con‐
	   vert-2.4.

       HilightColor
	   In fvwm 2.4, the HighlightColor command is replaced by a Style com‐
	   mand using the HilightFore and  HilightBack	arguments.   fvwm-con‐
	   vert-2.4 makes these changes.

       HilightColorset
	   In fvwm 2.4, the HighlightColorset command that was present in some
	   of the 2.3.x beta releases is replaced by a Style command using the
	   HilightColorset style.  fvwm-convert-2.4 makes these changes.

       WindowShadeAnimate
	   In fvwm 2.4, the WindowShadeAnimate command is replaced by the Win‐
	   dowShadeSteps Style option.	fvwm-convert-2.4 makes this change.

       WindowFont
	   In fvwm 2.4, the WindowFont command is replaced by a Style  command
	   using the Font argument.  fvwm-convert-2.4 makes this change.

       ColorLimit
	   In  fvwm  2.4,  the ColorLimit command is automatic.	 If you have a
	   limited colormap, color limiting is the default.   fvwm-convert-2.4
	   removes any ColorLimit command that it finds.

       GlobalOpts
	   The	GlobalOpts  command  is	 converted  to	Style  options and the
	   BugOpts command.  Some options can not be converted	automatically,
	   though.

       Read
	   Prints  a  message  identifying any read commands found.  The files
	   being read may need to be converted also.

       Placement Styles
	   Any of the old placement Styles found in the file can not  be  con‐
	   verted  automatically.  Instead, fvwm-convert-2.4 prints a warning.
	   For details about the conversion, please refer to the "Window  man‐
	   ager placement" section of the fvwm man page.

       FvwmConfig and FvwmPipe
	   These modules are no longer a part of the fvwm distribution.	 fvwm-
	   convert-2.4 prints a warning if these  modules  are	found  in  the
	   file.

       FvwmButtons panels
	   The	syntax	of  panels in FvwmButtons has changed.	The conversion
	   can not be done automatically.  fvwm-convert-2.4 prints  a  message
	   when it encounters a potential panel definition.  For details about
	   the conversion, please refer to the "CONVERTING OLD PANEL  CONFIGU‐
	   RATIONS" section of the FvwmButtons man page.

BUGS
       You need Perl to be installed.

       WindowFont  and	HilightColor  commands	embedded  in functions are not
       found.  If you have either of these commands in functions, they are not
       detected.

       Known  bugs  can	 be  found in the fvwm bug tracking system (accessible
       from the fvwm home page).

       Bug reports can be sent to the fvwm-workers mailing list (see the FAQ).
