The F Virtual Window Manager (The F currently has no official meaning) is a virtual window manager for the X Window system. Originally a twm derivative, FVWM has evolved into a powerful and highly configurable environment for UNIX systems.
This config uses a primarily blue color scheme. Dark blue background with blue window borders. There are four virtual desktops numbered with roman numerals one the pager at the bottom right of the screen. The floating menu for opening programs is on the left mouse button while kill options are on the right mouse button. The middle mouse button is setup to show open program listings. It is a minimalist setup and runs extremely fast on even the slowest systems.
To use this config file simple cut/paste it into your home directory under the name ".fvwm2rc" and start X windows with the fvwm window manager.
