Hi, |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I think starting a new configuration from scratch is a really bad idea. |
| 25 |
It's boring and it will require hours to have something decent. |
| 26 |
You'd better to get a working config close from what you want, and then |
| 27 |
edit it to suit your personal needs and tastes. |

My FVWM configuration is available at: |

| 31 |

It looks like this: |

Most of the parameters used in FVWM are pretty self-explanatory, |
| 36 |
For example, to change the thumbnails position, you'll have to modify the |
| 37 |
IconBox style in the "Thumbnails" section. |
