Hi!

I'm new to this list, so forgive me if this is an FAQ. It would be kind to
receive a pointer in the right direction in this case ;-)

Now here is my problem: i would like to have my fvwm button bar nicely
centered at the bottom of the screen regardsless of which machine i'm
logging on from. This is necessary because i have terminal with
resolution as high as 1600x1280 and as low as 800x600.

So it would be nice to preprocess my .fvwmrc with fvwmm4 or fvmwcpp to change
the line

*FvwmButtonsGeometry 1000x70+140-1

to something using the variables HEIGHT and WIDTH like

using the variables HEIGHT and WIDTH like

*FvwmButtonsGeometry (0.9*WIDTH)x(0.1*HEIGHT)+(0.05*WIDTH)-1


I know that this can be done (since these two modules are designed for this
purpose) but i have not the slightest idea about the correct way of writing
this. If someone out there uses this technique to accomplish something similiar
please send me and info.

Any help would be great

thanx

Andreas
