## 22. Patches for FVWM

Optional but recommended patches for FVWM from 2.6.7 to 2.6.9 are in `patches/fvwm2` top directory of the NsCDE tarball for installation.

This patches will add:

- corrections for cursor icon under buttons of the FvwmScript(1) it is really not a nice thing to have `XC_hand2` which is usually used for hyperlinks as a pointer icon when mouse is above buttons. Implemented as an option in FVWM3, not to disturb old default, no matter how bad is that default probably is.

- FvwmButtons(1) WindowName support - an native alternative to xdotool(1) workaround. It will set name and icon name of single subpanels, that is, every FvwmButtons object which has titlebar enabled with FVWM styles. Implemented by default in FVWM3.

- FvwmButtons triangle-in (sunken) support. Provides a 3rd argument for `indicator` parameter of the FvwmButtons(1) button. It can be "in" (default for NsCDE in `fvwm/FrontPanel.fvwmconf)` or "out" to confirm the FVWM default. If omitted, "out" is default, since it was that way before this patch. Implemented by default in FVWM3.

In order to have patched FVWM2, apply this patch or patches against FVWM 2.6.7, 2.6.8 or 2.6.9 source and (re)compile FVWM2. You can even make your own RPM DEB, Arch, BSD, SunOS or similar package from that and install it.
