✨ FvwmBanner(1) — Fvwm Modules 💖 ✨

okay bestie, let's talk about the FvwmBanner module 🦋 it's the Fvwm Banner, and it is giving main character energy 👑

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so the name is just FvwmBanner — the Fvwm Banner module 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

The only way to summon this queen is through fvwm itself 🫶 you type this:

Module FvwmBanner

⚠️ bestie, do NOT try to run FvwmBanner from the command line. It's literally only invoked by fvwm, so command line invocation of the FvwmBanner module will not work 💀

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

FvwmBanner shows up with an Fvwm Logo smack dab in the center of your screen for 3 seconds ✨ it's so iconic, no cap 🔥

🧚 COPYRIGHTS 🧚

None. ✨

🍓 INITIALIZATION 🍓

Nothing interesting here, bestie 🙈

🦋 INVOCATION 🦋

ngl this is the fun part 💖 FvwmBanner gets summoned with the command Module FvwmBanner. You can bind it to a menu or a key-stroke in your .fvwm2rc file, but lowkey the more likely move is to do it in the StartFunction or InitFunction, like this:

AddToFunc InitFunction "I" Module FvwmBanner

You can also give it an optional file parameter, like FvwmBanner doomface.xpm, or set an alternate default pixmap through configuration options (see *FvwmBanner: Pixmap below) 🌸 Fvwm will search the ImagePath to find the image, or you can use the full path to the image if you want to be extra 💅

💜 CONFIGURATION OPTIONS 💜

• *FvwmBanner: NoDecor — tells FvwmBanner to create a window that Fvwm will not manage and not decorate. Totally unbothered, no drama 🙈
• *FvwmBanner: Pixmap file — tells FvwmBanner to display file instead of the built in pixmap 🎀
• *FvwmBanner: Timeout sec — tells FvwmBanner to display for sec seconds instead of the default of 3 seconds ⏰
