Sorry, new here.

Sure. Not a problem. Report to a moderator for closure or merger with existing thread.

A shot of my Fedora 13 desktop.

It's where I put stuff from my desktop that I'm not sure I want/might need later or not.

That's the beauty of Linux. You don't need a fancy machine to make it run, and that comes in good with older computers you can still use. Although there is something to be said for running Linux as a server in the same regard. Windows will eat up all your hardware, and Linux will not.

Sharing the simple and efficient beauty of fvwm

btw .. you can barely notice the difference between violet and pink in the vim instance of this screenie cause I converted it to sRGB using relative colorimetric intent -- the pink on my monitor is just far outside sRGB

That's pretty much the first FVWM desktop I've seen that I don't think looks repulsive!

zirias · 08-04-2010, 07:53 AM

Maybe that's because THIS time, I tried to replace KDE

KDE 4.x just got to memory- and cpu-time-hungry for my aging machine...

You can have fvwm look and behave whatever YOU want (there aren't many limitations indeed, i asked about one very strange issue regarding icons, but didn't get a response so far...) -- BUT it requires you write a lot of configurations in a text editor

MTK358 · 08-04-2010, 08:16 AM

The problem is that there is no good explanation of the format of that configuration file.

zirias · 08-04-2010, 08:21 AM

Depends on what you expect. The manpage fvwm(1) is a great reference for the config file syntax. But if you are looking for "tutorial style" documentation -- indeed, I don't know of any.
