Hello:
I have finally finished FvwmCDE 0.1; it is a module for fvwm-2.0.45 that
duplicates as closely as possible the look-and-feel (but not
functionality, unfortunately..) of the Common Desktop Environment.
The Web page (and a screenshot) is at:
http://gibson.eee.upd.edu.ph/~orly/FvwmCDE/
You can also get the distribution there (860KB, which is a full source
tree of fvwm-2.045 with my minor patches, plus FvwmCDE itself). You will
also need XForms version 0.84 or 0.85 (the latter preferred) from:
ftp://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/pub/xforms/test/
There is no documentation as of yet, but I have included a (hopefully
self-explanatory) fvwm2rc. Also, you can wreak wonders on your desktop
with FvwmCDE if you get yourself Kiwi's AfterStep icon collection. I am
using FvwmCDE currently on a 24-bit SGI workstation, and it consumes even
_less_ memory than 4Dwm, plus all Indigo Magic apps still work. And it
looks kewl :)
Please note the following bugs:
- startup is slow (have to work on my parser)
- the parser is fragile; it's supposed to handle embedded pixmap
filenames like "Net%NetscapeLogo.xpm%scape" but I haven't tested
this yet.. however, the canonical "Netscape%NetscapeLogo.xpm%"
works fine.. so don't try to break it!! :)
- it crashes sometimes when minimized; I don't know if this is an
FvwmCDE bug or an XForms bug (version 0.85 is a test version)
If there are anymore bugs, please mail me.
Thanks, and enjoy!
