Because this page:
http://www.zensites.net/fvwm/guide/global.html around 2008 introduce to me usage of: SetVar VAR VAL for anything. But this is bad practice as noticed by Thomas Adam at: http://fvwmwiki.xteddy.org/IRC/HashFvwm/ And this is highly harmonised with Thomas replay: > Not that I'm forcing you, Michael, but these "go it alone" sorts of > documents are utterly harmful to projects like this, where one-time "wow, I > did it!" documents which are written once, and then never run again zensites.net is most valuable and user friendly tutorial for FVWM newcomers (at list in 2008 when I try to configure Fvwm first time, it have white background, table of contents and look like macho document, better then blog posts and other articles from miscellaneous home pages). It was written in style "here's what I did" TM and after copy/paste it work and take effect immediately. But it is old, deprecated in some parts and give "bad" style (in case of SetVar) for newbies. ================================================================ I think official up‐to‐date tutorial is good thing for Fvwm. It allow preserve time in configuration for end user and allow spread best practices... With this none will want any books... -- Best regards!
