The hardest part will be to find the right layout ;-) Pages are only derived from this layout file. > Argh! No way! No taskbars on fvwm web pages! Yuck! :-) ;-) I thought making the web like a screenshot. For example: http://fvwm-themes.sourceforge.net/screenshots/full/spruce.gif (My idea was to show as much fvwm features as possible and use them in the web design way:) > Looks good, but don't nest it unnecessarily.

This might be to much for the Icon-Style-Buttons I used now. Especially if you view the page on small desktops. i.e. 800x600: http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~uwp/fvwm_web_site/index.php?layout=16buttons I have planed to put a "quick" navigation on each page, so that you don't have to use the back button of your browser. This quick navigation with Icons should contain at most 8 links. Or we may use another style to present the links i.e. FvwmIconManager. On the top/start page it might be useful to provide additional some "direct links". > This is not too much for the eye and gives a good > granulatiry.

With mozilla you can switch to the links with tab. I have not tried other browsers yet. (I can do that at home.)
