Useful Things You Can Do with FVWM    Monday, January 03 2005 @ 03:18 PM EST Contributed by: glosser Ok, so I was feeling nostalgic today and decided to include this Linux Journal article. :) FVWM is a window manager used with the X Window System, which is the standard GUI for UNIX. This article explains a few useful things you can do with FVWM, including how to take screenshots conveniently, how to easily change a window's title and how to reconfigure easily a running FVWM instance. This article is aimed at fairly knowledgeable UNIX users. A little programming experience would be helpful, but you probably can manage without it. No knowledge of X or FVWM is assumed. The ideas presented in this document were tested with FVWM 2.4.16. They should work with any FVWM 2 version, however. Scripts presented in this document are written in Bash; I used the 2.05a.0(1)-release, but they should work in any version. Finally, I run Debian Linux 3.0. This means the utilities invoked from the shell scripts are assumed to be the standard Linux ones or to behave like them. Full tutorial   [ Views: 1358 ]
