This is a Decor that doesn’t require any images and can be done with the effects built into Fvwm.

To use this decor first configure the Colorsets

#   1 - Inactive Windows
#   2 - Active Window
#   3 - Inactive Windows Borders
#   4 - Active Windows Borders
Colorset 1  fg #000000, bg #8f9f8f
Colorset 2  fg #ffffff, bg #003c3c
Colorset 3  fg black, bg #4d4d4d, hi #676767, sh #303030
Colorset 4  fg black, bg #2d2d2d, hi #474747, sh #101010

Next we need to Bind actions to the window buttons (so they show up on the decor). This decor uses uses buttons 1, 6, 4 and 2.

# Window Button Locations [1 Title 642]
Mouse 1 6 A Iconify
Mouse 1 4 A Maximize
Mouse 1 2 A Close
Mouse 1 1 A Menu MenuWindowOps

Then define the Decor:
