I didn't notice before, but I agree, it's not pleasant to look at. I wonder what would make a better background, a gradient or an image. -- Dan Espen

FVWM: Website
Just a quick note regarding the current website: The basic design is nice, but the white border gives me a headache when trying to read any of the actual text. Some desktop image (scaled or tiled) would likely be a big improvement, but so would a darker solid color. I won't be replying to queries; I'm unsubscribing now as I haven't used FVWM for a long time. Despite trying for years, I can't really get on with the configuration language. I'm much happier with systems with few features built-in, but scriptable in ways that make it easy for me to add more. I get less confused that way. :) -- I'm too old to use vi.

To that end, I simply took the files and put them in the right place, the result of which you can find here: https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm/tree/ta/new-default-config I've done nothing about moving/consolidating files, nor have I done much work on updating the syntax of the files. That said, you can get a good idea of what it's doing by moving your ~/.fvwm directory out of the way and starting up that version of fvwm. I'm hoping it'll be a useful starting place for someone. Any questions, do please ask. Kindly, Thomas Adam
