[Zumi]

On my SL600L (thanks to Zumi for helping me !) i cannot resize the windows, on matchbox i push on the window's corner and i can resize,
in fwm there is no corner to push and if i try to use RESIZE from window menu i'm not able to resize....
Any helps

The window borders got a little thin in the 0.3.0 version. There will be a 3 pixel wide one in the next release.
But if you change your .fvwm2rc this way (diff style, so add lines with +, remove that begin with -):

Code: [Select]

-Style * BorderWidth 1, HandleWidth 1
+Style * BorderWidth 3, HandleWidth 3

-+ BorderStyle Simple -- NoInset Flat
-#+ BorderStyle Active Solid black -- NoInset HiddenHandles
-#+ BorderStyle Inactive Solid black -- NoInset HiddenHandles
+#+ BorderStyle Simple -- NoInset Flat
++ BorderStyle Active Solid black -- NoInset HiddenHandles
++ BorderStyle Inactive Solid black -- NoInset HiddenHandlesthen it will work instantly.

I can't try that now. I will compile a new cvs version from gpsdrive in the near future and I will try this out with that.

1.Can you tell me when fvwm starts problem will be fixed on SL6000?

Here's a 0.3.1-pre1 version. I will write changelog, futher plans and updated readme for the 0.3.1, but this is without "support".

It will be supported, later, when I will concentrate on writing that FLTK ztaskbar applet.

If somebody has an idea, how to use matchbox applets under fvwm, that will come handy until there's proper support for everything in ztaskbar.

The reason why I really want to write every applet in one application is this:
Memory usage according to "ps x" command output):
ztaskbar: 2000KB
---
mp-applet-clock: 1968KB
mb-applet-battery: 1388KB
mb-applet-menu-launcher (this is the menu button): 2232KB
mb-applet-launcher (this launches an aterm): 1372KB
(others are like these)

So, every little knob on matchbox taskbar use a little less or as much memory as ztaskbar itself.
I don't expect that when there will be all the other applets integrated in ztaskbar (volume control, cpu/mem monitor, cf/sd monitor, wireless monitor, power saving options), its memory usage will go wild, so about 10-15MB... I think it won't be more than 5MB, in the worst case. So I vote for improving ztaskbar.

Hi,

http://freshmeat.net/projects/xystray/ does the job. I will post an arm version later.

Sashz and Laze - for developing pdaXrom and for helping me to continue
my developments on Zaurus.

Jerrybme - for using and testing fvwm-pdaxrom with enthusiasm, for his
encouragements after the releases that kept me going.

Hi,

here is the ipk of xystray.
To use it in the ZaurusTaskbar of fvwm, you have to change
the scripts fvwm-portrait.sh and fvwm-landscape.sh

old (landscape):
$FVWMCOMMAND '*ZaurusTaskbar: (25x1, Swallow FvwmIconMan `FvwmIconMan`)
new (landscape):
$FVWMCOMMAND '*ZaurusTaskbar: (21x1, Swallow FvwmIconMan `FvwmIconMan`)
$FVWMCOMMAND '*ZaurusTaskbar: (4x1, Swallow (Respawn) Xystray `Exec exec xystray -iconrows 1 -iconcols 2 -iconsize 32`)
mb-applet-cards
mb-applet-whateveryouwant

old (portrait):
$FVWMCOMMAND '*ZaurusTaskbar: (13x1, Swallow FvwmIconMan `FvwmIconMan`)
new (portrait):
$FVWMCOMMAND '*ZaurusTaskbar: (9x1, Swallow FvwmIconMan `FvwmIconMan`)
$FVWMCOMMAND '*ZaurusTaskbar: (4x1, Swallow (Respawn) Xystray `Exec exec xystray -iconrows 1 -iconcols 2 -iconsize 32`)
mb-applet-cards
mb-applet-whateveryouwant



This will make the icon bar narrower and add the system tray which can hold two icons from matchbox.

It is not perfect but at least it works until the ztaskbar is complete.

does it work with C1000 (akita)?

if so, you made my day.

if not, the day will most likely come soon

Dunno. Nobody said anything about trying it on akita here and I only have an SL-C860...

What you have to do:
1. See what's in your /proc/deviceinfo/product file ("SL-C1000", probably)
2. Edit these files:

Code: [Select]

.xinitrc, .fvwm/fvwm-rotate.sh, .fvwm/model-startup, .fvwm/clamshell/*3. and add the text from /proc/deviceinfo/product, as I did it here (if it's "SL-C1000"):

Code: [Select]

case "$MODEL" in
    SL-C1000|SL-C860|SL-C760|SL-C750|SL-C700)
    test -f /etc/X11/kb/corgi.xmodmap && xmodmap /etc/X11/kb/corgi.xmodmap
;;
    SL-6000)
    test -f /etc/X11/kb/tosa.xmodmap && xmodmap /etc/X11/kb/tosa.xmodmap
;;
    *)
    cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'Sharp-Collie' 2>/dev/null >/dev/null && test -f /etc/X11/kb/collie.xmodmap && xmodmap /etc/X11/kb/collie.xmodmap
;;
esac
Tell us your results, please!

Rename /etc/X11/kb/corgi.xmodmap -> /etc/X11/kb/corgi.xmodmap_en
and /etc/X11/kb/corgi.xmodmap_ru -> /etc/X11/kb/corgi.xmodmap
I think that's the easiest way, but I think you got the idea.

When I start FBReader-qt_0.6.3_pdaxrom I see in book header instead russian word

In the .fvwm/.fvwm2rc file, there are font definitions like this:

Code: [Select]

Font "xft:Arial:size=14:encoding=iso8859-1"Change encoding to your preferred russian encoding. (there are different fonts for menu/titlebar, so search for them in the config file)

Christoph:
Thanks for compiling Xystray !

A quick question though...

Where should I put the mb-applet commands? They work fine if I run them from a terminal within fvwm. However

Code: [Select]

+ I Exec exec /usr/bin/mb-applet-cardsdoesn't work in the .fvwm2rc file

adding to the .xinitrc.fvwm almost worked

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/fvwm &
/usr/bin/mb-applet-cardsHowever when you go to portrait mode the X server crashes.  

Thanks,
Jerry

Hi,

I suggested to put them in the scripts fvwm-landscape.sh and fvwm-portrait.sh
(Look at the last two lines I added).
I don't know, perhaps .fvwm2rc is too early as the Taskbar may still not be
running when the applets are launched.

adding to the .xinitrc.fvwm almost worked

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/fvwm &
/usr/bin/mb-applet-cardsHowever when you go to portrait mode the X server crashes. 

Try the brutal method and do a

Code: [Select]

...
# We set the size of the maximized windows
$FVWMCOMMAND 'KillModule FvwmButtons ZaurusTaskbar'
$FVWMCOMMAND 'DestroyFunc ZaurusMaximize'
$FVWMCOMMAND 'AddToFunc ZaurusMaximize I Maximize $0 640p 448p'
killall mb-applet-cards
killall the-other-applets
killall xystray

That's where I first tried them but they didn't work in the script when I added them like this:

Code: [Select]

mb-applet-cards
mb-applet-blankerI just found that if I add the path to the applets in the script it works. I also have to add the '&' so that the second applet will load.

So now I've got:

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/mb-applet-cards &
/usr/bin/mb-applet-blankerat the end of the landscape & protrait scripts. And they seem to be working fine. No X crashes as I flip the screen back & forth  

Thanks for your help.
