I agree with the fact that the default look (the pink one) is rather
ugly, which is the reason for most people not to use FVWM at all.
However, a lot of window managers and desktop managers seem to have a
sober default look and feel, probably because maybe nobody likes that
look, but it irritates no one either.
My impression is that most people however use most of these window managers,
because they have seen a lot of fancy screenshots, proving that you _can_
make it look verry classy. And personally, i think this is a problem
with FVWM: most of the screenshots on the webpage are not stylish. Don't
get me wrong, the screenshots show different nice features of FVWM, but
if you look at the big picture, the screenshots seem to revolt a lot of
people.
So a suggestion for making FVWM more appealing: add some screenshots of
'designer' look and feels (with nice title bars with pixmaps etc.)
I am currently changing the look of my FVWM again, and maybe i can
contribute a screenshot in the near future.
> don't get me wrong.. the web site is nice
Personally, i think the site could be a lot more appealing and modern
too (without making it heavy). But of course, it is easy to criticize
someone else's work, and i am not too great at original web design
either. When i have some time, i might propose a new look for the
FVWM website.
Just my 2 cents,
Remko
PS: It goes without saying that i think FVWM is the best window manager
around ;)
