If you are new to FVWM and wondering what it is. FVWM is a Window Manager (WM). What sets it apart from other WMs? It is also a *Virtual* window manager which allows you to place windows on an area much larger than the actual size of the visible display.

It comes with a minimal default configuration. It gives the user the choice of expression. Details such as the appearance of windows, the function of panels, pagers, programs that will be used, and mouse/key control are created and defined by the user.

This site is a collection of individual scripts (configs) that you can add to the system. They are added into folders and run in the same sequence as the default. This structure helps to maintain, debug, and create new functions, decor, and modules. They are organized into folders with number to maintain the sequence.
