Optional but recommended patches for FVWM from 2.6.7 to 2.6.9 are in
patches/fvwm2
top directory of
the NsCDE tarball for installation.
This patches will add:
corrections for cursor icon under buttons of the FvwmScript(1) it is really not a nice thing
to have XC_hand2
which is usually used for hyperlinks as a pointer icon
when mouse is above buttons. Implemented as an option in FVWM3, not to disturb old default, no
matter how bad is that default probably is.
FvwmButtons(1) WindowName support - an native alternative to xdotool(1) workaround. It will set name and icon name of single subpanels, that is, every FvwmButtons object which has titlebar enabled with FVWM styles. Implemented by default in FVWM3.
FvwmButtons triangle-in (sunken) support. Provides a 3rd argument for
indicator
parameter of the FvwmButtons(1) button. It can be
"in" (default for NsCDE in fvwm/FrontPanel.fvwmconf)
or "out" to confirm the FVWM default. If omitted, "out" is default, since it was
that way before this patch. Implemented by default in FVWM3.
In order to have patched FVWM2, apply this patch or patches against FVWM 2.6.7, 2.6.8 or 2.6.9 source and (re)compile FVWM2. You can even make your own RPM DEB, Arch, BSD, SunOS or similar package from that and install it.
