Is there a way of updating a style based on windowid? With my current
setup, it seems that all my xterms would be using the same image (based
on window title) (oh, and assuming that my current setup works :)
Right now I have FvwmEvent calling a function that calls a shell script
to produce the icon based on the window id and title (passing just the
action and window id into the script as arguments) Later I'm planning
on just replacing my Exec exec with a PipeRead and making the script
output Style commands.
I was thinking about the cpu usage, and figured if I just capture the
add_window event that it might not be too bad. (and the corresponding
destroy window - but this is still hindered by the non-unique nature of
addressing windows by title in the style commands)
And thanks for the MiniIcon hint, I was trying to figure out a way to
not update the Icon itself.
--s.r.d.
