Something that I want done, is the use of different pixmaps for different
widows (rather like OS/2) so that Xterm can have a teeny-tiny little
xterm icon. The way I propose to do this is write a scaling function that
takes the defined icon for this window and puts it into the corner. I
would be happy to write such a scaling function, but I don't have the
time to merge it with FVWM once I have written it. So if there are any
people who are interested in this I can provide a function that scales a
nxm set of data to a ixj, while the other intersted party can put it in
the FVWM sources. The trouble for me is that I don't have the time to
learn the FVWM sources.
The way that I propse to implement this is make it a compile time option
to make button #n's default action is to display the correct scaled icon.
Naturaly this could be changed at run-time in the usual way. I suggect
this so we don't have to add any more elements to any FVWM structs.
Any takers?
