Hi,
recently I'm compiled the new version of fvwm. I wonder, if it is possible
to patch the new version with rounded_corner_patch.
Can anybody tell me where I can find patches for fvwm 2.6?

It's not supported by us at upstream.

Best bet is to try Gentoo. The code surrounding those patches won't
have changed from 2.5.X -> 2.6.1

I lost the track for these long ago. I remember having to touch
several of these patches so they would work with the absolute latest
fvwm in the 2.5.2x releases and above, but I am not sure what patches
had to be redone and to what degree. It was because of this (along
with me having no interest in these functionalities) that I stopped
maintaining the fvwm cvs + patchset ebuild. As long as I know, no one
took over it. So, using Gentoo will probably not be much of an
advantage, unless you can locate a copy of the old cvs ebuild + the
retouched patches (the original ones won't patch, probably).

The following patches (from the Arch Linux build) all apply to the
current 2.6.1 release without issue:

01-fvwm-translucent-menus.patch
03-ColourBorders.patch
04-ResizeOutlineThin.patch
05-Conditionals.patch
06-FlatSeparators.patch
07-BorderUnderTitle.patch
08-InactiveFont.patch
09-FluxRoundedCorners.patch
10-TopBorder.patch
11-ButtonWidth.patch
12-MultiBorder.patch
13-FvwmButtonsTips.patch
14-FvwmIconMan.patch
15-Hover.patch
18-ThinGeometryProxy.patch
19-Fix-build-with-libpng14.patch

which does include "rounded corners" (i cannot state the patchwork used
in the Gentoo tree is the same).
i downloaded them originally from a URL posted on this list...
which seems to have changed to: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7195
just FYI

This one seems pretty likely.

And just fyi the only patch Gentoo still applies is the tranlucent menu patch.

Kind regards,
