I done 2 Fvwm-Crystal releases in a very short time. They introduce a lot of bug fixes and improvements. Fvwm-Crystal is more than just an advanced Fvwm theme, this is a light, fast and stable desktop. The last 2 versions introduce a lot of bug fixes and improvements. As example, the new Font Selector dialogue show that FVWM can be turned into a modern desktop. The Fullscreen mode have been extended. It make possible now to not only bring in full screen almost any application, but also to cycle through the full screened applications and the current desktop page. See that like a new and innovative way to use desktop space. With that function, Fvwm-Crystal provide not only typical X features like multiple desktop pages, but also one of the best feature of the Amiga OS, its applications stack. If you like icons of the desktop, you can use ROX-Filer, Nautilus or Thunar as desktop manager. With Thunar, Fvwm-Crystal will create Amiga OS like icons (2 pictures icons) for each mounted partitions, / and $HOME. Also, its application menu is the one, of all the desktops I try, which need less maintenance. It is easy to customize, have category based preferred applications support, and you will never loose you custom settings. In fact, it is almost nothing to customize because it do understand the additional freedesktop categories. For the future, I will make small steps and release more often. One consequence is that the svn should be not only safe to use at any time, but also coherent at any time. I begun to extend the Fullscreen function like a wink to the Amiga OS. The result is that Fvwm-Crystal is able to provide the best of X and the best of the Amiga at the same time. That show it can be tailored for any possible use and I will consider any contribution with a very open mind. Dominique -- "We have the heroes we deserve."
