Re: FVWM: IconBox and preventing an icon

Thanks everyone for your help. Here is what I have figured out:

Style suggestions later in the file are the ones used. If you use
IconBox then you have an entry:

############################################################
# Note that icons are shown in the module
# only if NoIcon command is applied.
Style "*" NoIcon

in your .fvwm2rc file. This comes relatively late in the default
system.fvwm2rc . Earlier in the file you specify what xpm file you
want used for icons, then this NoIcon does not exactly delete the
earlier icon entries from the environment, it simply tells fvwm2 to
use the IconBox rather than the desktop to hold the icons. So now I
override this setting for specific apps (namely oclock) by adding a
Style line for oclock AFTER the NoIcon:

############################################################
# Note that icons are shown in the module
# only if NoIcon command is applied.
Style "*" NoIcon

# Put any apps that you do not want to have icons in the IconBox
here
# with a specific Icon. They will get an icon on the desktop if you
# minimize the app.
Style "oclock" Icon jclock.xpm


I will continue to do this for any apps that I want to run but do
not want in the IconBox.

Thanks again,
Dan
