Hello Fvwm-Debian users,

I have created a menu-method for FVWM which support localized
menuentries (whitout being kicked of by Hotkeys) and support
for sidebars.

If someone is interested?

For the sidebar there are two versions.

1) The first one use a naming scheme

20x200.debmenu.$[CC].$[_the_localized_menu_name].xpm

which looks something like

20x200.debmenu.en._debian_apps_net.xpm
or
20x200.debmenu.de._debian_anwendungen_netzwerk.xpm

The default Debian sidebars are mostly complete en english (I must
check ist with the lates CC.po files from Unstable) and now I am
working on the german version following with french.

2) The second one can be full customized because it use four variables

$[SIDEBAR_BG] = Background (e.g. 0...8, where 8 = transp.)
$[SIDEBAR_FG] = Foreground (e.g. 0...7)
$[SIDEBAR_CC] = two letter ISO CountryCode (e.g. de)
$[SIDEBAR_COLOR] = a color like "^blue^" or "^#FF00FF^"
where the surounding "^" are obligatoire since
it is only used, if the menu is NOT transparent

and use the naming scheme

20x200.debmenu.$[SIDEBAR_BG].$[SIDEBAR_FG].$[SIDEBAR_CC].$[_the_localized_menu_name].xpm$[SIDEBAR_COLOR].

which looks something like

20x200.debmenu.4.5.en._debian_apps_net.xpm

I will upload the source soon to <http://mentors.debian.net/> and the
Debian Source Package name is "tdmenu-fvwm". The produced binaries
are "tdmenu-common" and then "tdmenu-${CC}" where ${CC} is a two letter
ISO country code (I do not think, peoples want to install ALL languages
since each language requires arround 1 MByte of diskspace)

If you have any suggestions, or questions, please feel free to respond
to this E-Mail.
