The files Subpanels.fvwm2.fvwmconf
and Subpanels.fvwm3.fvwmconf
are generated by the $NSCDE_TOOLSDIR/generate_subpanels. It's configuration is static
in the system directory after NsCDE installation, but customizable and easly generated in the user's
$FVWM_USERDIR
where it is then called
$FVWM_USERDIR/Subpanels.fvwmX.fvwmgen
, where "fvwmX" is either FVWM2 or FVWM3,
depending on which FVWM is used by the NsCDE. It contains FvwmButtons(8) definitions of all 20 possible
subpanels which can be popped up from the Front Panel. There are 3
ways to regenerate this file: Subpanels Manager tool called from
the Install Icon, Subpanel Settings tool
called from the titlebar popdown menu on every subpanel as Subpanel Settings or
manually by calling $NSCDE_TOOLSDIR/generate_subpanels which will read user's or
system Subpanels.actions
for every subpanel
and if it exists, user's one; take this one while generating Subpanels.fvwmX.fvwmconf.
In system default, subpanels 2, 5, 6 and 8 are disabled by default, but can be activated with a very quick
tripple middle pointer click on the empty launcher without up arrow: a
Subpanel Settings application will appear on the screen
which has a checkbox "This Subpanel is Enabled" which will be checked out by
for disabled subpanels by default, and can be checked in, to apply will enable
subpanel with initial system defaults for name, width and application entries.
