NAME

fvwm-menu-xlock - builds xlock menu definition for fvwm  

SYNOPSIS

fvwm-menu-xlock [ --help|-h|-? ] [ --version|-V ] [ --name|-n name ] [ --title|-t title ] [ --item format ] [ --icon-title icon ] [ --icon-item icon ] [ --special-first|-s ] [ --- xlock params ]  

DESCRIPTION

A simple perl script which parses xlock's output to build an fvwm menu definition of all xlock's modes.  

OPTIONS

--help
show the help and exit
--version
show the version and exit
--name name
define menu name in the following argument. Default is ``XLockMenu''
--title title
define menu title in the following argument. Default is ``XLock Modes''.
--item format
define menu item format in the following argument, default is '%n\t(%d)'. TAB can be specified as '\t', but in .fvwm2rc you should specify a double backslash or a real TAB.

Format specifiers:

  %n - mode name
  %d - mode description
  %D - mode description without "Shows " prefix if any

These specifiers can receive an optional integer size, positive for right adjusted string or negative for left adjusted, example: %8x; and optional *num or *-num, which means to leave only the first or last (if minus) num of chars, the num must be greater than 3, since the striped part is replaced with ``...'', example: %*30x. Both can be combined: %-10*-20x, this instructs to get only the 20 last characters, but if the length is less then 10 - to fill with up to 10 spaces on the right.

--icon-title icon
--icon-item icon
define menu icon for title and regular item accordingly. Default is no menu icons (equivalent to an empty icon argument).
--wm-icons
define icon names suitable for use with wm-icons package. Currently this is equivalent to: --icon-title '' --icon-item menu/lock.xpm.
--special-first
instructs to include special modes (usually black, bomb and random) first.

Option parameters can be specified either using '=' or in the next argument. Short options are ok if not ambiguous: -h, -t; but be careful with short options, what is now unambiguous, can became ambiguous in the next versions.

Additional arguments (after --) will be passed to xlock.

Please see the xlock(1) man page for the xlock options.  

USAGE

Add these lines to your fvwm configuration file:

  PipeRead 'fvwm-menu-xlock --name MenuSSaver --title "Screensaver" \
    --icon-item mini-bball.xpm --special-first -- -nice 19 -nolock'
  PipeRead 'fvwm-menu-xlock --name MenuSLock --title "Lock Screen" \
    --icon-item mini-rball.xpm --special-first -- -nice 19'
  AddToMenu "Utilities" "Screensaver%mini-monitor.xpm%" Popup MenuSSaver
  AddToMenu "Utilities" "Screenlock%mini-lock.xpm%"     Popup MenuSLock
