Hi Mikhael & Dominik, :) Dominik says:
: > The default config for FVWM is (IMO) yuk! : You obviously never took a look at sample.fvwmrc/system.fvwm2rc Perhaps my definition of "default config" is wrong. To me, this is an example .fvwm2rc file that users have to explicitly copy to ~/.fvwm/config or wherever. (Incidentally, this file does not appear to be installed with "make install".) I was more interested in the look & usability of FVWM when no ~/.fvwm2rc, ~/.fvwm/config, etc file is found. : 1. It has to support black/white displays. Surely we can get around this with PipeRead & xdpyinfo, or (even better) FVWM probably knows when it's running on a monochrome display. : 2. I am highly reluctant to add new mouse or key bindings. see next point. Mikhael says: : I see some problems with your specific suggestion. The more bindings you : define (especially uncommon ones) the more users should undo in their : configs. What if we made FVWM "Read" a default config file iff no config file is found in the usual places? Maybe we should make it read system.fvwm2rc? : The colors are sharp, they are not very pleasant for a long work, so I : see no real improvements in this area. I'm not married to any of the aesthetics - just anything other than grey & black! :) : You use 3 titlebar buttons on the right without redefining their look. : It is very bad that a button looking like Maximize does Close. Good point. : I have no final opinion yet. But if you absolutelly want to have a new : default look and feel, then I suggest to borrow it from the default theme : of the current fvwm-themes cvs. Ah! Good idea! I guess I'm trying to guard against this situation: Newbie tries FVWM for the first time. Starts it up. "YUK!". (never uses FVWM again) Maybe it doesn't happen as much as I think it does. Still, my hypothetical newbie gets a vastly different experience when trying fvwm-themes, KDE, Gnome, etc for the first time.
