NWE Help: Utilities: FVWM Modules

NWE Home :: Help :: Utilities :: FVWM Modules

The Fvwm window manager includes a number of modules which can be used as part of standard configuration. Most NWE students won't use these fvwm modules in day to day computing -- they are a bit difficult to configure, and the functionality of the NWE menu and task bar provide a quality interface.

  • Identify:: Show technical information about a window
  • Button-Bar:: The Fvwm button bar, which resembles the old NWE toolbar
  • Pager:: Show a small representation of virtual desktops
  • Task-Bar:: Show a task bar at the bottom of the screen (on by default)
  • WinList:: Display a list of windows
  • IconBox:: Display a box in which icons for windows are minimized
  • IconMan:: Display a list of windows
  • Banner:: Show the Fvwm logo
  • ScrollBar:: Add a scrollbar to a window with this module
