New to FVWM

Fvwm, which stands for F (Fancy) Virtual Window Manager, is a highly customizable and lightweight window manager for the X Window System. It's known for its small memory footprint, speed, and extensive configurability. Fvwm enables users to create a personalized desktop environment by defining the appearance of windows, key bindings, menus, and more.

If you're new to FVWM and curious about what it is. What makes it different from other WMs? It is also a virtual window manager, which lets you place windows in an area much larger than the actual visible display.

It comes with a minimal default setup. It allows the user to customize the interface. Details such as window appearance, panel functions, pagers, and programs to be used, as well as mouse and keyboard controls, are created and defined by the user.

This site features a collection of individual scripts (configs) you can add to the system. They can run independently or be organized into folders. Using the folder structure below ensures they run in the same order as the default. This setup makes it easier to maintain, debug, and develop new functions, decorations, and modules.
