WindowOps Menu

These are a collection of Menus that can be used to control windows. The menus can be accessed from a root menu in which you have to select the window to operate on. They can also be bound to window buttons or FvwmIconMan buttons and operate directly on the selected window.

Default Config

Here are the WindowOps menus from the DefaultConfig. The different variations of the Menu are used for different bindings. A small menu which opens up if you click the Menu button on a window, a longer form from a right click on the root window and a modified form for icons and FvwmIconMan.

These Menus require the function ToggleTitle, which can be used to show or hide the title bar of a menu. Additionally these Menus are bound windows and FvwmIconMan as follows.

# Function: ToggleTitle
DestroyFunc ToggleTitle
AddToFunc   ToggleTitle
+ I ThisWindow (State 1) WindowStyle Title
+ I TestRc (Match) State 1 False
+ I TestRc (Match) Break
+ I WindowStyle !Title

Dynamic WindowOps

Here is a variation of the WindowOps menu that is dynamic in the sense it will put a checkmark near an option the window currently has. You will first need a checkmark icon for the menu in your ImagePath.

Then a function to build the menu that uses Conditionals to test for the different window states and then put a checkmark next to the states it finds.

DestroyFunc GenWindowOps
AddToFunc GenWindowOps
+ I AddToMenu DynamicWindowOps
+ I ThisWindow (Iconic) + "Iconify%check.png%" Iconify
+ I TestRc (NoMatch) + "Iconify" Iconify
+ I ThisWindow (Maximized) + "Maximize%check.png%" Maximize
+ I TestRc (NoMatch) + "Maximize" Maximize
+ I ThisWindow (Shaded) + "Shade%check.png%" WindowShade
+ I TestRc (NoMatch) + "Shade" WindowShade
+ I ThisWindow (Sticky) + "Stick%check.png%" Stick
+ I TestRc (NoMatch) + "Stick" Stick
+ I ThisWindow (State 1) + "TitleBar" ToggleTitle
+ I TestRc (NoMatch) + "TitleBar%check.png%" ToggleTitle
+ I + "" Nop
+ I ThisWindow (Layer 6) + "StaysOnTop%check.png%" Layer 0 4
+ I TestRc (NoMatch) + "StaysOnTop" Layer 0 6
+ I ThisWindow (Layer 4) + "StaysPut%check.png%" Nop
+ I TestRc (NoMatch) + "StaysPut" Layer 0 4
+ I ThisWindow (Layer 2) + "StaysOnBottom%check.png%" Layer 0 4
+ I TestRc (NoMatch) + "StaysOnBottom" Layer 0 2

Now that we have a function to build the menu, we need to configure Fvwm to create the menu each time it is opened. To do this configure the DynamicPopUpAction and DynamicPopDownAction as follows.

DestroyMenu DynamicWindowOps
AddToMenu DynamicWindowOps DynamicPopUpAction GenWindowOps
AddToMenu DynamicWindowOps DynamicPopDownAction \
          DestroyMenu recreate DynamicWindowOps

Last bind the menu to a window. For example a right click anywhere on the title bar would be:

Mouse 3 T A Menu DynamicWindowOps
