I'd like to suggest that anyone working on this obtain the latest FVWM
2.3.x betas or at least get familiar with the new features. We are
working towards many of these goals to greater or lesser extents for 2.4.
For example, FVWM 2.4 will have some colorset capability, so you can
just change a colorset and all modules and fvwm itself will change
(currently it (sometimes?) requires a restart but I think Dominik is
trying to change that).
Also there's a new initial setup environment where if you don't have an
.fvwm2rc file, FvwmForm menus can be used to set up some modules, etc.
This introduces a new, blessed ~/.fvwm/* directory.
I'm not even up on all the things in 2.4 anymore, but anyone working on
theme-ifying FVWM should definitely check them out.
Also, of course we're always interested in hearing about anything you
think could be added to FVWM to make your job (of adding themes) easier.
Can't promise we'll implement them all, but we want to hear them! :)
