6 FvwmScroll \- the fvwm scroll-bar module
8 FvwmScroll is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.
11 The FvwmScroll module prompts the user to select a target window, if
12 the module was not launched from within a window context in Fvwm.
13 After that, it adds scroll bars to the selected window, to reduce the
14 total desktop space consumed by the window.
16 FvwmScroll should not be used with windows which move or resize
17 themselves, nor should it be used with windows which set the
18 WM_COLORMAP_WINDOWS property. Operation is fine with windows that have
22 The FvwmScroll program, and the concept for
23 interfacing this module to the Window Manager, are all original work

34 During initialization, \fIFvwmScroll\fP gets config info from \fBfvwm\fP's
35 module configuration database (see
38 .BR "MODULE COMMANDS" )
39 to determine which colors to use.
41 If the FvwmScroll executable is linked to another name, ie ln -s
42 FvwmScroll MoreScroll, then another module called MoreScroll can be
43 started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmScroll,
44 simply by changing the keyword FvwmScroll to MoreScroll.
47 FvwmScroll can be invoked by binding the action 'Module
48 FvwmScroll x y' to a menu or key-stroke in the .fvwm2rc file.
49 The parameter x and y are either integers or integers immediately followed by
50 a p, which describe the horizontal and vertical size modification of the
51 window. An integer describe a size reduction. An integer followed by a
52 p describe a size as a percentage of the height or the width of a full screen
53 but the size is never larger than the original window size (0p will do
54 nothing). Fvwm will search directory specified in the ModulePath
55 configuration option to attempt to locate FvwmScroll. Although nothing
56 keeps you from launching FvwmScroll at start-up time, you probably don't
59 .SH CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
60 .IP "*FvwmScroll: Colorset \fIn\fP"
61 Tells the module to use colorset \fIn\fP. See FvwmTheme.
63 .IP "*FvwmScroll: Back \fIcolor\fP"
64 Tells the module to use \fIcolor\fP instead of black for the window
65 background. Switches off the Colorset option.
68 When the scroll bars are removed by clicking on the button in the
69 lower right corner, the window does not restore its location
