# Fvwm2Banner(1)

the Fvwm Banner module

## NAME

FvwmBanner - the Fvwm Banner module

## SYNOPSIS

Module FvwmBanner

*FvwmBanner* can only be invoked by fvwm. Command line invocation of the *FvwmBanner* module will not work.

## DESCRIPTION

FvwmBanner displays an Fvwm Logo in the center of the screen for 3 seconds.

## COPYRIGHTS

None.

## INITIALIZATION

Nothing interesting.

## INVOCATION

FvwmBanner can be invoked by the command 'Module FvwmBanner'. This can be bound to a menu or key-stroke in the .fvwm2rc file, but more likely you would do this in the StartFunction or InitFunction, for example:

```
AddToFunc InitFunction "I" Module FvwmBanner
```

You can also give it an optional file parameter, like 'FvwmBanner doomface.xpm' or specify an alternate default pixmap via 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.

## CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

- \*FvwmBanner: NoDecor

  Tells FvwmBanner to create a window that Fvwm will not manage and not decorate.

- \*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 default of 3 seconds.
