I don't think the default configuration is so bad. It is intended to be the fall back configuration and as such it is ok. It may be improved. The default menu lists two non fall back setups to install. I see some problems with your specific suggestion. The more bindings you define (especially uncommon ones) the more users should undo in their configs. This is one of the repeating questions even if we don't have many built-in bindings right now. The colors are sharp, they are not very pleasant for a long work, so I see no real improvements in this area. You use 3 titlebar buttons on the right without redefining their look. It is very bad that a button looking like Maximize does Close. I have no final opinion yet. But if you absolutelly want to have a new default look and feel, then I suggest to borrow it from the default theme of the current fvwm-themes cvs. This should not be much larger than the config you posted. Here how it may look, compare with your screenshot: http://fvwm-themes.sf.net/tmp/fvwm-default.png > MenuStyle * MenuFace DGradient 255 1 RoyalBlue 100 antiquewhite > > TitleStyle Active HGradient 255 2 MidnightBlue 50 black 50 MidnightBlue > TitleStyle InActive HGradient 255 2 RoyalBlue 50 black 50 RoyalBlue If we do this (with more soft colors), then we will need to explain how to disable these forced gradients in all documentation. This may easily become FAQ 0.0 question. Also, I would encourage the colorset syntax here. Regards, Mikhael. -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
