Not that the white bothers me at all, but if it's supposed to mimic a root
window, then how about a dark granite texture?

I'd suggest to make it plain black, but anything darker than #003c3c will do.

​Easy enough to change,

you can also hit the maximize button and get rid of the border all together.

That's rather too vague; can you be a little more specific about your issue,
please?

Well, FVWM is extensible just not likely in a way that's obvious to you, but
at this point it's not only irrelevant, it's not worth the effort trying to
convince you of it either.  ;)

Just a quick note regarding the current website: The basic design is nice, but 
the white border gives me a headache when trying to read any of the actual 
text. Some desktop image (scaled or tiled) would likely be a big improvement, 
but so would a darker solid color.

I won't be replying to queries; I'm unsubscribing now as I haven't used FVWM 
for a long time. Despite trying for years, I can't really get on with the 
configuration language. I'm much happier with systems with few features 
built-in, but scriptable in ways that make it easy for me to add more. I get 
less confused that way. :)
