Hi, I think starting a new configuration from scratch is a really bad idea. It's boring and it will require hours to have something decent. You'd better to get a working config close from what you want, and then edit it to suit your personal needs and tastes. My FVWM configuration is available at: http://py1378.free.fr/pub/fvwm-conf-04-01-2007.tgz It looks like this: http://www.lynucs.org/index.php?screen_type=1&screen_id=213649944543f2f9def2cdf&m=screen Most of the parameters used in FVWM are pretty self-explanatory, For example, to change the thumbnails position, you'll have to modify the IconBox style in the "Thumbnails" section.
