Heh -- I am not suggesting that! It would be fairly static once in place --
it's a *window manager* after all. Things like:
* New FvwmButtons -- swallowing things like:
- FvwmIconMan
- FvwmScript (maybe a clock?)
- FvwmPager
* Change the window decors a bit -- maybe use colorset gradients?
* Don't look like MWM by default?
etc., etc.
That level of "minimal", but functional.
It should be easy to do -- especially for the menus now fvwm-menu-desktop
uses XDG, etc.
These sorts of changes *would* stand the test of time, unlike GNOME/KDE,
etc., who seem to have it as a pre-requisite that changing the default look
with each release is needed.
