**fookb** is a Xkb state indicator. It displays the icon corresponding to the number of Xkb locked group. You may use mouse-clicks to change Xkb locked group with mouse. Additionally, **fookb** can be configured to execute a program on changing group.

**fookb** man page is based on **WMMail.app** man page. Program was written from scratch.

To use **fookb** with the Window Maker Dock, simply drag the **fookb** icon to the Window Maker Dock (if **fookb** was compiled  with Window Maker support).

  This command will be run if XKB locked group is changed and "Sound" is  set to "Yes".

  ## EXAMPLES

Here is an example of configuration file.

```
{
  Icon1 = "/usr/local/share/fookb/icon1.xpm";
  Icon2 = "/usr/local/share/fookb/icon2.xpm";
  Icon3 = "/usr/local/share/fookb/icon3.xpm";
  Icon4 = "/usr/local/share/fookb/icon4.xpm";
  IconBoom = "/usr/local/share/fookb/crash.xpm";
  Sound = "Yes";
  Command = "/usr/bin/play /usr/local/share/fookb/click.au";
}
```

Here is an example of app-defaults file.

```
fookb.icon1: /usr/local/share/fookb/icon1.xpm
fookb.icon2: /usr/local/share/fookb/icon2.xpm
fookb.icon3: /usr/local/share/fookb/icon3.xpm
fookb.icon4: /usr/local/share/fookb/icon4.xpm
fookb.iconBoom: /usr/local/share/fookb/crash.xpm
fookb.sound: Yes
fookb.command: /home/bgates/bin/playmssound
```

## FILES

- **~/GNUstep/Defaults/FOOkb**

  **fookb** defaults (for Window Maker enabled version).

- **~/.fookb**

  **fookb** defaults (for Window Maker disabled version).

## BUGS

Sometimes **fookb** receives message about changing XKB group, but message.state.group does not point to any existing XKB group. In this case **fookb** will show IconBoom (from config file) picture.

As far as I know the only way to look at this bug is to run vmware.

## VERSION

This man page is \[hopefully\] up-to-date for version 3.0 of **fookb**.
