FVWM: Meaning of the right-hand field of the popup window list

[Sian Mountbatten]

Can anybody explain the meaning of the numbers of the last field.

For example: 0(4):0x-425+68+0

I reckon that it means:
(a) Initial zero: desk number
(b) (4) ???
(c) 0x-425: width x height. So how can a window have zero width and
negative height?
(d) +68+0: +xpos+ypos. That is, the position of the top-left hand
corner of the window.

Could anybody confirm and explain zero width and negative height?

Sincerely

"The format of the geometry part is: desk(layer): x-geometry sticky,
where desk and layer are the corresponding numbers and sticky is empty
or a capital S. The geometry of iconified windows is shown in
parentheses."

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Thomas

It does, thank you Thomas. But how can a window have negative height and
zero width?
I may say that the windows in the list shown with negative height are
shaded. Does that
affect the geometry?

Because the geometry of a window includes its *position*.

Yes, I understand that, but its size is definitely NOT its position.

Yes, I understand that, but its size is definitely NOT its position.

The bug is that windowlist.c knows nothing of shaded windows when
reporting their geometry.

Will commit a fix for this in a bit unless someone else does it first.

Ok, but that doesn't explain the negative height and zero width. Where does
that come from?

The *actual* size of the window.
