FVWM image pictureFVWM is one of the big mysteries of the open source world. It is an extremely versatile window manager, configurable up to every possible aspect. However, many beginners are somewhat scared because they do not know exactly how to go about learning to use FVWM. This is what we will talk about here.

The heart of FVWM's configuration is the ~/.fvwm2rc file. This is where every option is stored. When FVWM is launched, the information from the file is read, and FVWM runs according to it. What can be customized? Essentially, everything, from the way windows look to the way they behave. FVWM imposes no policy: the user is free to configure what happens when a button on the titlebar is pressed, or which mouse button is used to minimize a window by clicking on the titlebar.

Besides window management itself, FVWM also offers a number of extra functions, organized in so-called modules.
