Hi! I'm having some trouble implementing this (pardon a newbie).
i added this to my .fvwm2rc :
*NewWindowEventCmd
*NewWindowPassId
*NewWindow add_window FuncFocusWindow
AddToFunc FuncFocusWindow
+ I PipeRead `windows "$w" "$n" "$r" "$c"
FvwmEvent NewWindowEvent
(end)
i'm really new with this stuff, and i've been reading everything i can
find on the web, but i cant find what those variables "$w", "$n", etc
are or where/how i can get them.
this is my windows script:
#!/bin/sh
info=$(xwininfo -display :0 -tree -root | grep Navigator | wc -l)
if [ "$info" -gt 3 ]; then
FvwmCommand WindowId $w Delete
fi
(end)
i'm almost 100% sure what i did was incorrect. i dont get what u
mean by printing "WindowId $w Delete" to standard output too.
Thanks!
