Please read the supplied doc/FAQ, it should answer most of your questions.
Since you installed from rpm, just run "rpm -ql fvwm-themes-base". But
you don't need to change themes. Usual things a user wants to customize:

1) Add startup programs. Solution: create ~/.fvwm/themes/personal/startup
which looks like:

  AddToFunc InitFunction
  + I Exec exec gtop
  + I FuncFvwmRunInXterm "Top" top # one of the standard themed functions

2) Add your own menus. Solution: create ~/.fvwm/themes/personal/menus-extra
which looks like:

  AddToMenu MenuFvwmPersonal
  + "Something 1" something 1
  + "Something 2" something 2

Read the FAQ and other documentation in /usr/share/doc/fvwm-themes-0.6.0/
if you need to customize more things like the editor/terminal/browser used
or change/add more bindings.

Regards,
Mikhael.
