 | 05/02/17 99k 1280x960 fvwm2rc | Submitted by Thomas Adam. This setup uses an old style - very similar to that of MWM and CDE. The window colors can be changed on-the-fly using a dynamic menu of defined colorsets, although the inactive colorset is always 'skyblue3'. The buttonsbar at the bottom is FvwmButtons which has swallowed xbuffy, rxvt, a "media panel" (to control mpc), xlassie, two instances of xloadtime, and FvwmPager. The whole this is panelised so that it is retractable. I also have a root menu which has acccess to some common programs I like to use. There are some keybindings to toggle features as well. Further information can be found at the fvwmwiki. |
 | 05/02/17 374k 1600x1200 | Submitted by Pierre-Eric Marchandet. His personal fvwm screenshot page including configs can be found here. |
 | 04/11/09 363k 1400x1050 | Screenshot submitted by Chris Debenham. The shot shows translucent windows and menus, windows titlebar on side and icon which are little snapshots of the iconified window. Configs and further information can be found here. |
 | 04/06/27 142k 1024x768 fvwm2rc | A setup uses the Super_L for most FVWM-related operations. FvwmButtons in the bottom left corner and the icons appear/disappear when Super_L is pressed/released. Also, FvwmButtons is shown for a second or so when the mouse pointer hits a screen edge. Switching pages with EdgeScroll still works. All these tricks are possible with the new Schedule command. Finally, a window thumbnail used as its icon is produced when the window has had focus for some time, not when it is being iconified. This makes FVWM feel more responsive. |
 | 04/03/19 321k 1600x1200 | Screenshot submitted by Nuno Alexandre. |
 | 04/01/24 298k 1152x864 fvwm2rc | This shot shows the desktop of Tavis Ormandy.
Question to Tavis: The icons on the left side - are generated automatically - do they change if the window contents changes? Tavis: They are generated automatically, the icons are little screenshots of the windows before they were iconified, pretty simple to do with the new WindowStyle command, but they look really cool :) |
 | 04/01/15 651k 1152x864 | FVWM Chrome theme from Andrew Dolgov. |
 | 03/10/01 496k 1280x1024 | This screenshot shows FVWM 2.5.6 with ROX 2.0.1 and two gkrellms on the right. The icons are available at kde-look.org and the FVWM-theme is made by myself. The good thing with ROX is, that you can have icons on your desktop without loosing your root-menu. |
 | 03/08/28 304k 1152x864 | Submitted by J.G.A. van Riswick. This is a screen shot of fvwm mimicking the cde environment. The setup features motif-style window decorations and shadow/hilight color calculations. The colors are calculated in a perl script, which also generates .xresources and .gtkrc files so that a consistent color scheme is used throughout all applications. In addition, given background pixmaps are colored in the same colors, who on turn are reflected in the colors of the buttons on the pager. To mimic the cde front panel (in the bottom) I used the gnome panel with some custom applets added. Left to be done to fully get the cde look are window decorations for icons. You can dowload CDEmu which includes config files and scripts here. |
 | 03/08/28 156k 1024x768 | Submitted by Shawn Anderson. After seeing An Thi-Nguyen Le's screenshots(they are very nice BTW), I thought I would send one also :-). It is fvwm 2.3.28. |
 | 03/08/28 49k 1152x900 | Submitted by Tomas Ögren, A pretty lean theme without any annoying thick borders. FvwmButtons, xmeter, xbuffy, gimp and some stuff on other pages. |
 | 03/08/28 193k 1024x768 | Submitted by Taviso.
Taviso says:
A Flat look, using vector buttons with solid color, loosely based on
a fluxbox look with wallpaper from QNX. The icons are from the wm-icons
package, and theres a transparent pager in the top left. Running fvwm-2.5.5
on Linux Alpha and x86.
Taviso's submissions prompted some questions which he graciously answered:
Q: what is your file browser ? A: its xftree, from the xfce project http://www.xfce.org/ Q: how do you change the look of this program ? (flat button bar style...) A: its a gtk theme engine i use this one http://themes.freshmeat.net/projects/flat/ Q: how do you change the style of your browser ? (nice scroller !) A: thats the gtk theme engine again :) i just changed the prelighting to blue to match my fvwm theme :) |
 | 03/08/28 63k 1024x768 | Submitted by Thomas Adam. Thomas says: This screenshot shows FVWM running with a modified fvwm-themes (mostly stolen from 'default'). I have tried to emulate the look and feel of RH's "AnotherLevel", by changing the window colour, and centering the title of the windows. The icons and the panel that you can see are a customised version of Rox-Filer that complements FVWM extremely well. |
 | 03/08/28 186k 1280x1024 | Submitted by Robert Ford, shows gradients in menus and titlebars, FvwmWharf, FvwmTaskBar, FvwmPager with pixmap backgrounds, some nice icons and mini-icons, and an interesting purple/blue color scheme. |
 | 03/08/28 188k 800x600 | Submitted by Olivier Chapuis. Two screen shots in a small screen (800x600). The first one all panels up, the second one all panels down and the TaskBar hidden. Panels are quite useful on such a screen. The "Window Maker FvwmButtons" has four panels that run only if I use it: this saves my battery. |
 | 03/08/28 100k 1024x768 | Submitted by Parv.
Parv says:
(fvwm 2.5.4) shows titles on bottom and on right hand side,
sticky windows with and without title-bars, FvwmPager, and
aterm with transparent background and tinting.
You can visit Parv's web site and see the configuration file. See also the annotated version of the screen shot. |
 | 03/08/28 219k 1152x864 fvwm2rc | Submitted by Ploum. Ploum says: I like a clean desktop. I created a gradient for my fvwm menu and I called it "ocean". I used a blue gradient for the active titlebar and a grey gradient for inactive. I can easily switch between viewports with "alt+arrow". The icons are from wm-icons. You can see in the top left corner two tiny fvwm buttons. The first is to hide/unhide zinf, the audio player, the second is a "swallow" of my jabber status. Clicking on it hides/unhides the psi main window. I put xplanet in the backround with tracking of some satellites. (you can see ISS and XMM). On the right, this is gkrellm and a sticky transprent aterm in the bottom. Only 3 lines, it's just to launch some commands. When I minimize an application, the icon is sent to my vertical icon box, just under grkrellm, but I do it rarely. I prefer shading of windows, like the xterm at the top of the screen. I just discovered today the cool "Aqua" skin for GTK and the "Aqua" skin for phoenix, my favourite browser. I documented a lot my fvwm2rc file, but in french... Yes, I hate taskbars and icons ! ;) |
 | 03/08/28 309k 1280x1024 | Submitted by Paul E. Johnson. |
 | 03/08/28 205k 800x600 fvwm2rc | Submitted by Tenebrae. Here's my latest screenshot running FVWM 2.2.4 under RedHat Linux 6.2. I have a light marble GTK+ theme that I've extended manually onto my FVWM buttons, and a custom icon or two. I made the blue Vampire Princess Miyu background for the Eterm, and threw Vampire Princess Miyu skins that I found onto Licq and xmms. I also customized the title bars a bit with a textured background that fits in with the overall blueness of the Miyu stuff. Heres the fvwm2rc. |
 | 03/08/28 154k 1280x1024 | Redmond98 theme from fvwm-themes. A pretty close Windows 95 look and feel can be duplicated with fvwm. |
 | 03/08/28 219k 1024x768 | Submitted by Remko Troncon. Remko says: This screenshot shows a clean and simple desktop. On the top left is FvwmButtons which opens panels of apps I use frequently for a very short time (like IM's). On the top right, GKrellM is showing all the things I like to monitor. The bottom right corner contains FvwmPager. The background is generated by Xplanet. The fonts show the anti-aliasing support of FVWM. The icons in the menus are mostly taken from the wm-icons distribution. |
 | 03/08/28 239k 800x600 | Submitted by Olivier Chapuis. Two screen shots in a small screen (800x600). The first one all panels up, the second one all panels down and the TaskBar hidden. Panels are quite useful on such a screen. The "Window Maker FvwmButtons" has four panels that run only if I use it: this saves my battery. |
 | 03/08/28 235k 2880x1094 fvwm2rc | Submitted by Marc A. Lehmann.
This is an Xinerama desktop showing some interesting side mounted titles,
flat borders and gradients in the titlebars.
The fvwm2rc
is M4 based and contains some interesting stuff too.
Mark says: ... features XineramaSls, a really old fvwm config incrementally updated to fvwm2 over the years. The config tries to implement the following:
|
 | 03/08/28 202k 1280x1024 | Submitted by Mikhael Goikhman. This is a mix of different
fvwm-themes components
plus some additional commands in FvwmConsole. This screenshot shows
new 2.5.x features like transparent FvwmPager in the upper left, png
icons from wm-icons package,
tinted transparent menus, multipixmap titlebars, FvwmButtons on the
bottom that badly simulates the RedmondXP panel (it is managed by
fvwm module written in perl), icons tinted differently in menus,
shadow text and FreeType fonts. On the right is gkrellm.
A similar configuration is availaible out of the box in fvwm-themes 0.7.0 or greater. |
 | 03/08/28 102k 1152x900 | Submitted by Michael Han, multistyle decorations including HGradient titles and a nice FvwmButtons, swallowing FvwmPager, procmeter and FvwmIconMan. Liberal use of MiniIcons. |
 | 03/08/28 95k 1024x768 | Submitted by Maciej_Delmanowski.
Maciej says:
I used FVWM to create my own desktop enviroment. It's called
'FVWM - Crystal' and it's based on the unstable/CVS branch (2.5.6). It's features

 | 03/08/28 39k 1024x768 | Submitted by Jules Alberts.
Jules says:
The setup is like this: FVWM 2.5.7 on a Red Hat 9 box (PIII 500Mhz). I
like the interface to be as simple as possible without losing
functionality. GKrellm, a simple pager, a menu, application windows and
icons. That's it. Things I would like to add is some eye-candy (transparancy) and finally get FvwmTrackFocus.pl working :-) but on the whole I think this setup is nice to work with. |
 | 03/08/28 290k 1024x768 | Submitted by Lee Willis. A fairly simple setup, normally used with one window per page, very easy on the eye, and hardly any decorations to get in your way :) |
 | 03/08/28 190k 1280x1024 | Submitted by Ives Aerts. The screenshot shows xmms, gfontsel, rxvt with vim and my FvwmButtons. The three half-height buttons with the up arrows open up wharf-like button arrays when pressed. Menus and title bars are lightly gradiented and the (vector) titlebar buttons were stolen from an old post to the fvwm mailing list. What you can't see are all kinds of nifty keyboard shortcuts to popup/hide mutt (mail reader), switch between windows and desks, etc. |
 | 03/08/28 230k 1280x1024 | Submitted by Jason Kibblewhite. This is my current favorite fvwm theme. The buttons and gradients are based on an E fvwm theme which I thought looked quite spiffy. As you can see I'm playing with FvwmButtons and FvwmTheme. I'm never totally happy with what I come up with so this current one has probably changed since this shot was taken. |
 | 03/08/28 252k 1280x1024 | Submitted by Kendrick Vargas. Fvwm2 integrated with GNOME (HelixCode) on RH 7.0 with FvwmGTK Menus, FvwmPager swallowed into a gnome-panel and showing Mozilla M18 as the web browser. GTK theme used is minEgtk. |
 | 03/08/28 195k 1280x1024 | Submitted by MURAKAMI Tomokazu. This is FVWM version 2.3.22. It's compiled with the --enable-kanji option. With this, I can use Nipponese satisfactorily. Furthermore, I set up Emacs to be able to use JIS X 0213." |
 | 03/08/28 195k 1024x768 | Submitted by Len Philpot.
Len says:
it's simple (no transparent
terminals, multiple modules, etc., etc), but that might be a nice
contrast to all the "walk and talk" .fvwm2rc's out there. It does have
custom pixmaps buttons and titlebar, along with FvwmButtons on the
taskbar...
I'd like
to combine the maximize and restore buttons into one.
The question mark button brings up a form containing choices for all the FVWM man pages, which launch in their own xterms. |
 | 03/08/28 205k 1024x768 | Submitted by Glen Lee Edwards. This screenshot demonstrates the WindowShade feature. Instead of using icons, you can scroll the window up into the titlebar. The left buttons on the titlebar are created using vectors. The right buttons are pixmaps. All the buttons are user definable which further demonstrates FVWM's flexibility. |
 | 03/08/28 170k 1280x1024 | Submitted by Dan Espen, shows pixmap borders, the Fvwm2 setup dialog using FvwmForm, shaped icons, and a minimal use of fvwm modules. |
 | 03/08/28 295k 1152x864 | Submitted by Dominik Vogt, another one of my palettes (a list can be seen in the Palette menu), an example of the 'SubmenusLeft' menu style. I'm fixing a menu bug in the xemacs window in the background while viewing our screenshots page with netscape 8-) |
 | 03/08/28 190k 1152x864 | Submitted by Dominik Vogt, shows soft gradients in menus and titlebars, a shaded window on the left side of the top edge, FvwmButtons on the bottom edge, some menus containing directory listings (updated every time they are opened) and a bit of my .fvwm2rc in the top right shell. The colour palette is one of about twenty I hijacked from CDE. Sub menus are nicely centered around their parent item (use 'Popup menu-name item +100 c' for this effect). |
 | 03/08/28 175k 1024x768 | Submitted by Glen Lee Edwards.
This screenshot is intended to show the versatility of FvwmButtons.
FvwmButtons can swallow programs as well as menu items. There are 3
separate FvwmButton panels active on this desktop. MyBar1 is the
button on the right, and runs xbuffy, which monitors my incoming mail.
MyBar2, the bar across the bottom contains menu items and the
FvwmPager. I have 24 active desktops. The labeling, F1, F2,
etc. tells me which key combination to hit to go to that desktop.
MyBar3, which takes up the bulk of the screen, holds several programs
I constantly run and need quick access to. All 3 bars are easily
iconized and removed from the screen with a simple key stroke designed
specifically for that individual bar, leaving me a clean and open
desktop to run additional programs.
Note: Check out Glen's excellent FVWM page for even more FVWM screenshots and information. |

(Christian's wish was fulfilled.) |
 | 03/08/28 156k 800x600 fvwm2rc | Submitted by Filip Hroch. Filip says: I've been using Fvwm for many years. Two years ago I created by own fvwm2rc from an IRIX-like configuration. Today I looked at the nice screenshots on the www.fvwm.org site and I'm therefore sending my screenshot with a dfm icon manager and a transparent aterm on the root window. |
 | 03/08/28 175k 1152x864 | Submitted by An Thi-Nguyen Le. Simple window and menu decors using diagonal and backwards-diagonal gradients. Buttons are actual defaults from fvwm. :) The modules used are FvwmButtons (I'd use the $fg and $bg variables for the swallowed shell but that makes it harder to read in this case), FvwmPager, FvwmIconMan (the very bestest icon manager around). Dockapps are xpostit and wmnetselect. On the right is GKrellM, nice themable stacked system monitors. |
 | 03/08/28 240k 1280x1024 | Submitted by Brian Sturk. Brian says: I run 2.4.9 on FreeBSD 4.7 and Slackware Linux. The two FvwmButtons on the left top/right toggle showing a pager and gkrellm respectively. |
 | 03/08/28 373k 2560x1024 | Submitted by Cameron Simpson. Uses Xinerama. This is the Zen style by Cameron Simpson, details here. |
 | 03/08/28 276k 1280x1024 | Second submission by Andre Bonhote.
Normally, we show one screenshot per user, but just this once,
we'll show how desktops evolve over time. This was submitted Dec 2002,
and the first one was submitted Oct 2000.
Andre says: This screenshot shows fvwm 2.5.5 (from cvs) with a lot of transparency. Title bars, borders, menues and pagers (invisible at the moment) are all fully transparent, some are shaded to look blueish. Besides fvwm2, you see my logs in three aterms on the right side of the screen. Below that xchat and a small gkrellm. On the left, there's mutt in an Eterm. The nice background is done by xplanet and refreshed every 15 minutes. |
 | 03/08/28 229k 1024x768 | Submitted by Christian Lyra. |
 | 03/08/28 125k 1024x768 | Submitted by Andre Bonhote. My desktop shows (of course) fvwm, of which not much is being seen actually. Only the root menu and the decorations are really fvwm-like. I like gtk so I am using gnome's panels (top and bottom, left hand side). There's an aterm window using transparency, gqmpeg and netscape, and, of course, gkrellm running. For the colors, I used grdb and grdb2fvwm, which takes gnome's colors and fonts and puts it into my fvwm2rc. it's quite useful, I think. |
 | 03/08/20 213k 1024x768 | By An Thi-Nguyen Le. I got really really procrast-- I mean, bored, and fooled around with FvwmTheme for a while. This particular scheme is borrowing heavily from the Enlightenment theme AbsoluteE (the blue version) and makes heavy use of the stretching pixmap feature of FvwmTheme. The background is Tigert's Blue Space, the GKrellM theme is something obscure called 3051. |
 | 03/08/20 118k 1024x768 | A third one by An Thi-Nguyen Le. Here's also a screenshot of a mockup of Gnutopia, a rather cheery BlackBox theme, with the large pager retracted (another thing I fooled around with. Actually, all the buttons retract, just for the heck of it). Cheery happy yellowy and all that. |
 | 03/08/18 246k 896x672 | Submitted by Uwe Pross - This screenshot shows FvwmButtons, FvwmTaskBar, a window context menu and a FvwmScript-applet which counts down a certain amount of time like kteapot. The window titlebar is kept simple. All color setting for x-, kde- and gtk-applications are done by fvwm. |
