### 9.11. FrontPanel.fvwmX.fvwmconf

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).
