Isn't the idea for FVWM95 to look like WinNT?
I'm working on developing a catalog of the differences between wvfm95 and NT,
the aspects of the NT interface which *cannot* be implemented in a Unix
environment. I am particularly interested in the "look and feel" differences
which can induce user problems when the behavior of the environment does not
match expectations. For instance, why do you use Motif...what are the problems
you find occurring because "FVWM95 and WinNT4.0 look just too much alike?" Any
feedback would be appreciated. Respond privately, if there is interest I will
compile the differences for the list.
Thanks,

Use CygWin32 library. You will have to do *little* porting. In fact, I
believe fvwm is already ported, although I have to admit when I use NT
and
an XServer, I prefer Motif (because FVWM95 and WinNT4.0 look just too
much
alike). You can get CygWin32 free from Cygnus at URL:
