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.

Redmond98 theme from
fvwm-themes.
A pretty close Windows 95 look and feel can be duplicated with
fvwm.

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.

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@.

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 pretty lean theme without any annoying thick borders.
FvwmButtons, xmeter, xbuffy, gimp and some stuff on other pages.

:-). It is fvwm 2.3.28.

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.

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 ! ;)
