Hello,

How do I make something like this:

I REALY like the icons with the thumbnails of the windows in it, how to do
this? How do I make a menu like that (transparent but tinted, you see the
windows under it!)?

I use FVWM 2.5.7, have not downloaded any patch or FVMW-Themes. I tried the
source of this one:
http://www.fvwm.org/screenshots/desktops/Tavis_Ormandy-desk-1152x864/screens
hot.jpg

Which also has the nice iconified windows and transparant, but tinted menus,
but turn out as ugly text and the menus aren't transparent :-(

Also how can I make a transparent but tinted (by tinted I mean it has still
a color) pager?

Do I need something special? A patch? A newer version? A better graphics
chip (I have a Cirrus Logic with 1Mb (SLICK!))?

If I need any patch, do I need to compile the thing myself, or can I apply
it to a FreeBSD package?

Regards,
Berry
