This tool is specific to NsCDE. It configures three things:
Number of virtual desktops
Names of virtual desktops
Number of virtual pages
This graphical tool writes files $FVWM_USERDIR/WSM.conf
and $FVWM_USERDIR/NsCDE.conf
.
On the top of the window is graphical representation of the Workspace
Manager. Every button when clicked becomes editable and it's name can
be changed (pres return on the text field after writing new name).
This change will be written immediately WITHOUT pressing button.
Name of the workspace will be changed across all NsCDE and FVWM (WSM, Occupy
Workspace/Page, menus etc) after window manager restart is triggered with
button. In NsCDE, there are 4 options for desks: 2, 4, 6 and 8 desks.
FVWM itself supports infinite number, but in NsCDE care must be taken
about presentation of this desks in various applets and tools.
Nevertheless, theoretically even in NsCDE with maximum number of desks
multiplied with maximum number of pages, user can get 128 work spaces
which is probably enough (too much) for 99% of the people.
Number of vertical and horizontal pages can also be configured here.
This change will affect Page Manager (PGM) icon on the Front Panel, and menus which are displaying
pages. Page names are not configurable via GUI. User is encouraged to
open $FVWM_USERDIR/WSM.conf
and edit to suit.
button saves configuration, restarts window manager and quits. button discards, except if new names of desks are set, because this is written immediately, but window manager is not restarted. Workspaces and Pages Manager is called from the Front Panel's small left button menu which is called when that button is clicked with the right pointer button.
