6 FvwmDragWell \- A XDND drag well
10 FvwmDragWell is a Xdnd drag well. The user sends the data and type to
11 the drag well via a fvwm SendToModule command. The drag well
12 indicates that it received the information via a crude animation. The
13 user may then drag the information from the well to other applications
14 that support the Xdnd standard. The fvwm module FvwmWharf accepts
15 drops of type "text/uri-list".
18 During initialization, \fIFvwmDragWell\fP gets config info from
19 \fBfvwm\fP's module configuration database (see
22 .BR "MODULE COMMANDS" ).
23 If the FvwmDragWell executable is linked to another name, i.e. ln -s
24 FvwmDragWell OtherDragWell, then another module called OtherDragWell
25 can be started, with a completely different configuration than
26 FvwmDragWell, simply by changing the keyword FvwmDragWell to
27 OtherDragWell. This way multiple FvwmDragWell programs may be used.
30 Data is sent to the module from fvwm using the SendToModule Command.
31 The form of the send to module command is:
34 SendToModule modulename dragtype type-string, dragdata data
37 type-string is a quoted string that declares the type of
38 "data" and how the data will be exported. The "typestring" string is
39 converted to an XAtom. The user should use standard Mime type
40 strings, all in lower case. Note that the module does no data
43 There is one exception to the above format. If the datatype string is
44 omitted, the module assumes that the user is passing a file or
45 directory path. In this case, the string "file://$hostname/" is
46 prepended to the data, and the data is exported as type
52 SendToModule FvwmDragWell dragdata /usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.0
56 On hostname saturn, the drag well will convert the data to
57 "file://saturn/usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.0"
58 and will export the data as type "text/uri-list". The long form of
62 SendToModule FvwmDragWell dragtype text/uri-list, \\
63 dragdata file://saturn/usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.3.8
68 FvwmDragWell must be invoked from fvwm, so no command line invocation
72 .SH CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
73 FvwmDragWell reads the same .fvwm2rc file as fvwm reads when it starts up,
74 and looks for certain configuration options:
77 .IP "*FvwmDragWell: Geometry \fIgeometry\fP"
78 Completely or partially specifies the Fvwm window location and
79 geometry, in standard X11 notation. The default size is 48x48.
81 .IP "*FvwmDragWell: DragWellGeometry \fIgeometry\fP"
82 Specifies the geometry of the drag box in the FvwmDragWell window, in
83 the standard X11 notation. Default is 30x30+9+9
86 .IP "*FvwmDragWell: Colorset \fIcolorset\fP"
87 The colorset is used for the background and shading of the drag well.
88 See the man page of FvwmTheme for a description of colorsets.
90 .IP "*FvwmDragWell: Fore \fIColor\fP"
91 The foreground color. The default foreground color is grey60.
93 .IP "*FvwmDragWell: Back \fIColor\fP"
94 The background color. The default background color is black.
96 .IP "*FvwmDragWell: Shadow \fIColor\fP"
97 The shadow color of the button relief. The default foreground relief
100 .IP "*FvwmDragWell: Hilite \fIColor\fP"
101 The hilight color of the button relief. The default background relief
