FvwmDragWell - A XDND drag well
FvwmDragWell
FvwmDragWell
is a Xdnd drag well. The user sends the data and type to the drag well
via a fvwm SendToModule command. The drag well indicates that it received
the information via a crude animation. The user may then drag the information
from the well to other applications that support the Xdnd standard. The
fvwm module FvwmWharf accepts drops of type "text/uri-list".
During
initialization, FvwmDragWell gets config info from fvwm’s module configuration
database (see fvwm(1), section MODULE COMMANDS). If the FvwmDragWell executable
is linked to another name, i.e. ln -s FvwmDragWell OtherDragWell, then another
module called OtherDragWell can be started, with a completely different
configuration than FvwmDragWell, simply by changing the keyword FvwmDragWell
to OtherDragWell. This way multiple FvwmDragWell programs may be used.
Data
is sent to the module from fvwm using the SendToModule Command. The form
of the send to module command is:
SendToModule modulename dragtype type-string, dragdata data
type-string is a quoted string that declares the type of "data" and how
the data will be exported. The "typestring" string is converted to an XAtom.
The user should use standard Mime type strings, all in lower case. Note
that the module does no data conversion.
There is one exception to the
above format. If the datatype string is omitted, the module assumes that
the user is passing a file or directory path. In this case, the string
"file://$hostname/" is prepended to the data, and the data is exported
as type "text/uri-list".
Examples:
SendToModule FvwmDragWell dragdata /usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.0
On hostname saturn, the drag well will convert the data to "file://saturn/usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.0"
and will export the data as type "text/uri-list". The long form of this
command would be
SendToModule FvwmDragWell dragtype text/uri-list, \
dragdata file://saturn/usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.3.8
FvwmDragWell must be invoked from fvwm, so no command line invocation
will work.
FvwmDragWell reads the same .fvwm2rc file
as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for certain configuration options:
- *FvwmDragWell: Geometry geometry
- Completely or partially specifies the
Fvwm window location and geometry, in standard X11 notation. The default
size is 48x48.
- *FvwmDragWell: DragWellGeometry geometry
- Specifies the geometry
of the drag box in the FvwmDragWell window, in the standard X11 notation.
Default is 30x30+9+9
- *FvwmDragWell: Colorset colorset
- The colorset is
used for the background and shading of the drag well. See the man page of
FvwmTheme for a description of colorsets.
- *FvwmDragWell: Fore Color
- The
foreground color. The default foreground color is grey60.
- *FvwmDragWell:
Back Color
- The background color. The default background color is black.
- *FvwmDragWell: Shadow Color
- The shadow color of the button relief. The default
foreground relief color is grey20.
- *FvwmDragWell: Hilite Color
- The hilight
color of the button relief. The default background relief color is grey90.
