Icon Manager with window-op buttons
Not being able to close/iconfiy/maximize windows with the mousebecause it is convered by FvwmButtons now has an end. My idea is having a FvwmIconMan swallowed in FvwmButtons with the height of the titlebar. For example 16 pixels on top of the screen. Let it only show windows on the current page. Now if the window is fully maximized its titlebar is covered and FvwmIconMan replaces it. This way you have a very much TAB-like feeling but the titlebar buttons are covered. So we change our FvwmButtons configuration a bit.
*FvwmButtons-IB: Padding 0 0
*FvwmButtons-IB: Geometry 1276x15+0+0
*FvwmButtons-IB: BoxSize fixed
*FvwmButtons-IB: Rows 1
*FvwmButtons-IB: (1x1, Icon shrink-rvb-black.png, Action Current Iconify)
*FvwmButtons-IB: (80x1, Swallow "FvwmIconMan" "Module FvwmIconMan")
*FvwmButtons-IB: (1x1, Icon grow-rvb-black.png, Action Current Maximize 100 100)
*FvwmButtons-IB: (1x1, Icon cross-rvb-black.png, Action Current Close)
Now there are titlebar buttons on the FvwmButtons module, but you have to select the window to act on. To change that behavior you can prevent FvwmButtons from receiving focus using
Style FvwmButtons-IB NeverFocus
This way the buttons act on the focused window.
