VWM and Docks

i dont remember for sure but my friend used rk launcher and i believe and it was the only dock prog that didnt cause that problem

got the same problem here (w/Yz Dock, i know it's not that fancy but acts cool with my resources)

are there no options for the specific vwm to move/copy the dock on all desktops?

if yes, you've to add this options to your personal config, not the theme config

you could always make your dock with litestep :P

I've attempted (using rabidVWM) the *VWMSticky #t ROCKETDOCK command in my personal.rc, but there is no change in behavior.

Is the bang incorrectly written or what?

that should work if the actual window title of rocketdock is ROCKETDOCK. have you tried using other vwm modules? vwm2 is supported by xpaintclass, and bangVWM is good if you dont have an actual vwm display, but use buttons/bangs to swtich desktops.

also, what you have isnt a "bang", its a setting. bangs are actions that are preceded by a "!"

Alright, I switched from rabid to vwm2, and got some success. Unfortunately, the theme I am using (SUF) was written with rabid in mind so it looks pretty ugly, but that is easily fixed.

Thanks for the help everyone.

@split: I would make my own Litestep dock, except I enjoy being able to configure what is on it and such without having to edit the config every time. I like the implementation in the Snohetta theme, but getting it just the way I wanted was a real pain. If you knew where to find some code for an painless-configurable litestep dock, I would be all over it.

well you pretty much hit the nail on the head about having to edit your config every time you wanted to change your dock entries, but for a .rc head like me this isn't a big deal. :P

I use litestep and had the same problem with ObjectDock. I switched to RocketDock and it doesn't happen now.

why use another dock app
just xlabel your own dock

oh glorious. someone is using my theme :o
i agree that your own dock is the way to go
well i dont use a dock b/c of launchie but if i did i would code it

you are on the right track with:
*VWMSticky #t ROCKETDOCK

problem is "ROCKETDOCK" is not the actual window/class name of the window to you want to be sticky on all desktops.

use something like WinSpy to find out the correct name.

moshi, you rule!

It turns out that *VWMSticky #t ROCKETDOCK was causing the dock _background_ to be sticky (when it already was). The class name for the actual icons was (at least in my case) RDIconWnd. So typing in *VWMSticky #c RDIconWnd causes it to work perfectly in RabidVWM or vwm2. Word.

Of course, seeing as how I just made my own xlabel dock *cough* Requiem *cough*, I probably wont use this for a while. Still it's nice to get it working.

Thanks again for the help everyone.
