Why isn't the magic button there then?
Our main problem is lack of developers, Sebastian and I are covered with other works we regard as higher priority, so handy task as this (and several others) keep on waiting...
If somebody here wants to implement this menu button in a clean way (not as an ad-hoc hack), it'd be very welcomed.
In the same spirit, if someone here has development skills and wants to contribute, please let us know. We have plenty of small to big size tasks waiting for a developer to work them out.
I'd be willing to have a try at it. I'm particually good at it, but I'll try. Any hints or anything would be cool :-)
Good! You can start by looking at the patch by Brian. Then look at the force_my_colors dillorc option and hook it to the menu that will pop-up from the new toolbox icon placed to the left of the bug-meter (fvwm comes with nice tiny icons to choose from). Look at the bug meter's menu for an idea of how to implement the menu. Note that the bug-meter menu also appears in the right-click over page one, so you can look at the code for the BACK button right click menu for a simpler example. Hook the menu to the left click. Start with a single menu entry. "Force my colors" in this case. A check box in the menu entry would be nice to hint the user about the current selected state. Shold you get stuck, just ask. -- Cheers Jorge.-
