This is fvwm-2.0.43 hacked for a look and feel similar to Windows-95. The installation process is more or less the same as for the standard fvwm2, the only difference is that the program name will be fvwm95, and the modules will be copied to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95. Refer to the file INSTALL for more details. I also have included a hacked version of the Win95WinList module from David Barth (original from Mike Finger), whichs looks very close to the Windows-95 task bar. There is a clock and incoming mail indicator on it, it can also swallow other modules. The module is named FvwmTaskBar, for more information read the README file in the modules/FvwmTaskBar directory. For best results, use the supplied example.fvwm2rc95 as your initial .fvwm2rc95 file, and customize it as necessary. I have tried to use the same colors as in Windows-95, as well as similar-looking fonts for the title bar and menus. Basically, the format used in the file is the same as in the standard .fvwm2rc, with some minor differences and additional commands, they are briefly explained in the example file. I have included in the directory mini-icons some 16x16 pixmaps that can be used for the menus (the example.fvwm95rc uses some of them). All they together use no more than 8 colors, and they look best over a light gray background (such the #c0c0c0 used in the example configuration). You have to move them manually to /usr/local/mini-icons or some other directory, and update the PixmapPath setting in the .fvwm95rc There is a new mailing list for fvwm95-related questions and discussions.
