Projects - Configuring FVWM
Projects - Configuring FVWM
I also have used GNOME, KDE or Xfce before, but I cannot bear the speed they start up and run because of my computer until I find FVWM. At last, I have FVWM only and always, if you did not know how to install FVWM, just follow my FvwmInstall. If you want to know how to have your real own Window Manager with FVWM, you are right to be here.
Enter here to see more.
All of my FVWM is configured by a single file which is located at $HOME/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc. Though by the use of the Read command, one could split the config file up into smaller config files. For here I just put everything into one config file. For sake of argument lets put everything in the $HOME/.fvwm directory, so for the first step create the $HOME/.fvwm directory and create an empty .fvwm2rc file. If you run fvwm, Don't be surprised if you think the default setup is quite ugly, cause many will agree with you, but that is a good place to start.
The images I used in my configuration can all be downloaded here. If you are interested in my configuration through the above screenshots, download that file, then untar it in your $HOME directory. It will create a .fvwm folder with all the icons and decors I use in my configuration. Next open the file $HOME/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc file with your favorite text editor. This file is parsed by FVWM when it starts up (or is restarted) and fvwm uses the info in here to set up the look and feel of your desktop1.
I organized all my FVWM stuffs according to FVWM Beginners Guide written by Jaimos F Skriletz, I really appreciate this guide, it gives me the entry when I was confused how to get the real world of FVWM. If you are a real newbie, just follow this guide as your beginning and you will get a not bad FVWM interface after a couple of hours, then make it by yourself with your own art to get the best FVWM you want.
Besides, FVWM MANPAGES would be a very best friend during the configuration. The man page is quite long, but once you have key words, it should be easy to search for how that is used in the configuration. All of the configurations I present I will skim or skip over and expect you to read FVWM Beginners Guide and use the man page to fill any any details I miss.
At the top of my $HOME/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc file, I put the following stuff:

The ";.png" followed by the second $[fvwm_icon] says that it will be able to use either .xpm files (the default) or .png files for the icons interchangeably.

I then set up 4 Virtual Desktops with 2x2 pages of each, namely Main, Work, Ruth and Game (numbered 0, 1, 2, and 3).

Put all together and you will get the last fvwm2rc. And make this file into $HOME/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc together with the first icons and images, you will get a good start here.
All the stuffs I used for my FVWM configuration are collected here (.tar.bz2). Untar it using the command #tar xvfj fvwm-flyzhy.tar.bz2 in your $HOME, restart FVWM to see what happens.
