What are reasons one might want to switch to fvwm? I see you like it lots. Also where do you get all those space-theme pics? :)

Here's mine very simple, openbox, tint2, conky...got all I need.

Customization....
Control of behaviour
and I just can't quit config that I work on for many years....
Here's my screenshots form 2008:

I use google to search for "Space wallpaper", "Eve online wallpaper" etc

In theory, I like the customizability of FVWM as well, but damn... there is *so* much to learn, that it's extremely daunting. I quite like fvwm-crystal for this reason, even though I don't really like the theme itself. I would prefer something like the CDE theme available in the fvwm-themes package, but using this theme also means using the behaviors it comes with; unless you can figure out how to change them, without simply breaking things.

In short, I think it's a great wm for people who really know what they're doing, but it's not so great for slobs like me.

What DE/WM are you using here?

True enough -- although in FVWM's case, it's more of a 'library', than a mere 'manual.' :p

My latest:



Scrotwm + emacs + urxvt + zsh + aumix + conkeror + mplayer.

Finally I felt way too lazy to control windows by myself, so I've picked up my very-old ion3 config and installed it. Also, dynamic tiling window managers like dwm and xmonad - just suck at usability.
 
I never understood the fascination with tiling window managers. But many people like them so maybe it's just me. Great screenshots.

For me its just laziness. Both KDE3 and Ion3 do not need configuration to use as for me (e.g. install it and run it). First one because it was just usable out of box, second one - cause ive configured it years ago :) I could set up KDE to do the thing, but hell, I've need to configure it which Im to lazy to do. Any kind of fvwm, *box, awesome, xmonad or so need to be configured to have sane usability.

No, not at all, au contraire, that's exactly why it's distracting..

Fair enough, and hard to deny ]I never understood the fascination with tiling window managers. But many people like them so maybe it's just me. Great screenshots.[/QUOTE]

They make very good use of available real-estate on large screen, and dual screen, setup. The advantages become apparent the first time you're looking up reference material in one app (say, your browser), and coding in another -- the two can coexist side-by-side, without one having to spend time manually resizing them. They also tend to be light on resources, and keyboard-friendly.

Note: this not evangelism, I don't care who uses what (I haven't been using a tiling wm myself lately (though I make use of tiling _within_ Emacs)), I'm just pointing out some reasons why people might be 'fascinated' with this breed of wm.

Onto my latest:



Maybe next time I'll take some shots of my ratpoison setup instead :p
