Yes, but you probably won't like the auto hiding part.
What you want is a combination of FvwmButtons, FvwmPager and
FvwmIconMan. First, create an FvwmButtons bar that is located at
the bottom of the screen (or wherever else you want it) and size
it appropriately, then swallow both, the pager and the icon
manager:
Style TBButtons MouseFocus, Sticky, WindowListSkip, CirculateSkip
Style TBButtons HandleWidth 1, TitleAtBottom, NoTitle
*TBButtonsGeometry 1024x24+0-0
*TBButtonsRows 1
*TBButtonsColumns 128
*TBButtonsBoxSize fixed
*TBButtons(10x1+0+0, Swallow FvwmPager 'FvwmPager TBPager * * -geometry -2000-2000')
*TBButtons(118x1, Swallow FvwmIconMan 'FvwmIconMan TBIconMan')
# FvwmPager settings for 'taskbar' emulation
*TBPagerFont none
# FvwmIconMan settings for 'taskbar' emulation
Style FvwmIconMan WindowListSkip, CirculateSkip
*TBIconMan*FollowFocus true
*TBIconMan*Format "%t"
*TBIconMan*ManagerGeometry 5x1
*TBIconMan*Resolution page
*TBIconMan*UseWinList true
Then start it with
FvwmButtons TBButtons
(put that in your StartFunction).
You may have to fine tune the geometries, though. The only funny
thing is that the buttons in the icon manager happily fill the
whole 'task bar', even if there is only one window.
Now for the autohiding part. You need to use FvwmAuto:
AddToFunc TBEnter
+ I Current (TBButtons) All (TBButtons) WindowShade off
+ I Current (!TBButtons) All (TBButtons) WindowShade on
AddToFunc TBLeave
+ I All (TBButtons) WindowShade on
Module FvwmAuto 50 TBEnter TBLeave
Note that this only works properly if the button bar uses
MouseFocus or SloppyFocus. You may want
Style TBButtons StaysOnTop
also.
Personally, I don't like this kind of auto hiding at all. I find
it much more convenient to bind a double click on the decoration
hide/show the module:
Mouse 1 FS N Function ResizeOrRaise
AddToFunc ResizeOrRaise
+ C Raise
+ M Raise
+ M Resize
+ D Current (Shaded) Raise
+ D WindowShade toggle
