FVWM Question

FVWM has really gotten my attention after I have came across some very interesting configs that I absolutely love.

I really love the way you can have the thumbs of your windows like that. The only thing is, I got no clue how to do that. Can anyone walk me through getting those thumbs of my Windows to work?

Wow those are some killer desktops. I didn't know you could make fvwm look that good

I saw some killer fvwm-desktops myself not long ago, I would'nt mind one of those! For example, I like the pager and desktop-icons of this one: http://fvwm-themes.sourceforge.net/s.../full/migo.png

Me boots into gentoo

Code:

emerge fvwm

Let's see what this looks like on my pc.

I tell you, it's horror at first sight!

/me emerges fvwm too and tries to get something done this time

Actually you have to emerge a bunch of stuff according to the fvwm gentoo installation wiki.

I did all that stuff, and I still can't see fvwm

Edit: All I had to do was "vi .xinitrc" change startkde to fvwm.

You weren't kidding, this is ugly.
