Some concrete suggestions would be nice.

Which default config are you referring to?

With current versions of fvwm, you get 2 defaults from fvwm. You press any
mouse button on the root and it offers to create various configs. The windows
config looks like Windows. (Its not our fault if you don't like it.)

The other one is sort of ugly but someone must have liked it.
Is that the one you don't like?
Send some suggestions for changes.
