The new location for the fvwm config file is $HOME/.fvwm/config If you are using a new version of fvwm it comes with a default theme, this is located in $PREFIX/share/fvwm/default-config (where $PREFIX is often /usr or /usr/local) If using the default-config, there is a script in the menu to copy the default config to $HOME/.fvwm/config and then you can just edit away. > xclock -digtal -strftime '%a %b %d %T' > > Can someone tell me how to do that? > Add this command to your StartFunction AddToFunc StartFunction I Test (Init) Exec exec xlock -digtal -strftime '%a %b %d %T' The test is just to ensure it is only run during the init (first start) And not after ever restart.
