(I might be stating the obvious, so my apologies upfront if that's the case.) Note though that fvwm-themes is not a panacea for new FVWM users... not yet. I tried it a couple of days ago, and was seriously impressed by its power, but it currently has one major flaw: scattered, scarce, and incomplete documentation on making your own modifications/themes. What I think is needed is a single text file/document which details how fvwm-themes works, as well as a complete reference for writing your own flavours of all the components. As it is, with the weak documentation, the user trades-in the "highly-modifiable-but-homely initial configuration" for "it looks nice, but I'll be darned if I know how to tweak this one feature which is bugging me". The latter can be often just as frustrating as the former. -- Maciej Kalisiak mac "at" dgp.toronto.edu www.dgp.toronto.edu/~mac -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
