# FvwmBanner(1x)

the FVWM Banner

## NAME

FvwmBanner - the FVWM Banner

## SYNOPSIS

FvwmBanner is intended to be spawned by fvwm.

## DESCRIPTION

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

## COPYRIGHTS

None.

## INITIALIZATION

Nothing interesting.

## INVOCATION

FvwmBanner can be invoked by binding the action 'Module FvwmBanner' to a menu or key-stroke in the .fvwmrc file.  Fvwm will search directory specified in the ModulePath configuration option to attempt to locate FvwmBanner. Although nothing keeps you from launching FvwmBanner at start-up time, you probably don't want to.  You can also give it an optional file parameter, like 'FvwmBanner doomface.xpm' or spcify an alternate default pixmap via configuration options.

## CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

- \*FvwmBannerPixmap *file*

  Tells the module to display *file* instead of the built in pixmap.

- \*FvwmBannerTimeout *sec*

  Tells the module to display for *sec* seconds instead of default of 3.
