Classic config

A classic config by datagubbe.
Configurations for fvwm, a long-time favourite, and still a great window manager for X11. The decorations and colours exactly match those used in the config supplied with Slackware 2.0 in 1994. It was my first encounter with fvwm and although I've tried others, it's still my window manager of choice.
