NAME

6       FvwmScroll - the fvwm scroll-bar module
7

SYNOPSIS

9       FvwmScroll is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.

11

DESCRIPTION

13       The  FvwmScroll  module  prompts the user to select a target window, if
14       the module was not launched from  within  a  window  context  in  Fvwm.
15       After  that,  it adds scroll bars to the selected window, to reduce the
16       total desktop space consumed by the window.
17
18       FvwmScroll should not be used with windows which move or  resize  them‐
19       selves,  nor  should  it  be  used  with  windows which set the WM_COL‐
20       ORMAP_WINDOWS property. Operation is fine with windows that have a pri‐
21       vate colormap.

INITIALIZATION

36       During  initialization,  FvwmScroll gets config info from fvwm's module
37       configuration database (see fvwm(1), section MODULE COMMANDS) to deter‐
38       mine which colors to use.
39
40       If  the FvwmScroll executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s Fvwm‐
41       Scroll  MoreScroll,  then  another  module  called  MoreScroll  can  be
42       started,  with  a  completely  different configuration than FvwmScroll,
43       simply by changing the keyword  FvwmScroll to MoreScroll.

INVOCATION

47       FvwmScroll can be invoked by binding the action 'Module FvwmScroll x y'
48       to  a  menu  or key-stroke in the .fvwm2rc file.  The parameter x and y
49       are either integers or integers immediately  followed  by  a  p,  which
50       describe  the  horizontal and vertical size modification of the window.
51       An integer describe a size  reduction.  An  integer  followed  by  a  p
52       describe  a  size  as a percentage of the height or the width of a full
53       screen but the size is never larger than the original window  size  (0p
54       will  do  nothing).  Fvwm  will  search directory specified in the Mod‐
55       ulePath configuration option to attempt to locate FvwmScroll.  Although
56       nothing keeps you from launching FvwmScroll at start-up time, you prob‐
57       ably don't want to.

BUGS
