=> M.Cartwright_at_Queens-Belfast.AC.UK (Martin Cartwright) suggested:
=>
=> | => From tynor_at_atlanta.twr.com Fri Dec 13 15:46:49 1996
=> | =>
=> | => Is it possible to get FVWM to ignore application-specified icons? I
=> | => don't use FvwmIconBox or FvwmIconMan, just the standard "iconbox" Style
=> | => -- my icons end up on the desktop.
=> | =>
=> | => The problem is that I really don't like big 24x24 or 32x32 icons. I much
=> | => prefer a simple box with just the window name in it (no graphics). This
=> | => is how my XTerms iconify. I want to force my XEmacs's and Netscapes to
=> | => do the same, but can't figure out how.
=> | =>
=> | => Is there something I can set in my .fvwm2rc? Maybe in my .Xdefaults?
=> | => I've tried to RTFM, but I can't find anything in the fvwm man page.
=> | =>
=> | What you could try is creating a small blank xpm icon, say 10x1 pixels
=> | and make all the pixels transparent. Call it blank.xpm or something similar
=> | and then override Netscape's icons with a line like
=> |
=> | Style "Netscape" Icon blank.xpm
=> |
=> | in your .fvwm2rc.
=> | Then when you restart you'll just have a little text box.
=>
=> Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work. Here's the .xpm file I
=> created:
<snip>
=>
=> More ideas?
=>
=> Steve
Well You had
Style "*" Icon Transparent.xpm
Whereas I have
Style "*" Icon question.xpm
yet my netscape uses it's own icon
however if I add
Style "Netscape" Icon netscape.xpm
it uses the pixmap instead so try specifying the individual applications
or at least classes/resources...
good luck...
