Yeah, there are about five to ten people I can think of who've
muttered things about "themes... no time." But lots of good ideas out
there.

Well, right here seems a good place to talk about themes. Unless the
traffic gets to the point where a fvwm-themes list is needed (I doubt
it belongs on fvwm-workers).

It's gone away, but I remember not liking the themes approach that had
been taken by fvwm.themes.org. First and foremost was the decision to
locate all the themes stuff in $HOME/fvwm. I think $HOME/.fvwm makes a
lot more sense. My local CVS tree is in $HOME/fvwm. Next, I didn't
think it appropriately distinguished between behaviors and themes.
Things like menu items and bindings could be distributed in a theme.
That was bad, IMHO.

There were some other things too. I forget. Anyway, if you've got
ideas about themes, just send 'em here. People may not have time to
write the system, but I'm sure they've got time to kibbitz on the list

A double negative is a no-no.
