Main NsCDE Front Panel configuration file. Here, FvwmButtons is configured under
the alias *FrontPanel
. Special care is taken to place most of
configurable parts out of this file, so it doesn't have to be forked into
$FVWM_USERDIR
, but this option nevertheless exists. Here, all
geometry, buttons, subpanels, default icons, frames and widgets are written and
put in place. This configuration, together with swallowed WSM (Workspace
Manager) is probably the most recognizable part of the setup which provides us
with familiar and desired CDE look - a Front Panel. FvwButtons FrontPanel
configuration is non-trivial, but it is very trustworthy mimicking the original.
Icon actions which user wants to change here can be overridden with
FrontPanel.actions
file and Subpanels which are also
described here. Swallowed apps and "widgets" are in most part already described
in sections above.
In NsCDE 2.0, FrontPanel has double configuration: in two separate configuration
files. One is for fvwm2 (FrontPanel.fvwm2.fvwmconf
) and the
second for fvwm3 (FrontPanel.fvwm3.fvwmconf
) a "front" file
FrontPanel.fvwmconf
contains the code for auto detection of
FVWM (patched fvwm2 will use fvwm3 file if detected).
