FVWM: Website

[Ethan Grammatikidis]

Just a quick note regarding the current website: The basic design is nice, but the white border gives me a headache when trying to read any of the actual text. Some desktop image (scaled or tiled) would likely be a big improvement, but so would a darker solid color.

I won't be replying to queries; I'm unsubscribing now as I haven't used FVWM for a long time. Despite trying for years, I can't really get on with the configuration language. I'm much happier with systems with few features built-in, but scriptable in ways that make it easy for me to add more. I get less confused that way. :)

That's rather too vague; can you be a little more specific about your issue,
please?

he's complaining that the web site looks like the user
has set the root window to white.

I didn't notice before, but I agree, it's not pleasant
to look at. I wonder what would make a better background,
a gradient or an image.

​Easy enough to change,

you can also hit the maximize button and get rid of the border all together.

I'd suggest to make it plain black, but anything darker than #003c3c will do.

Not that the white bothers me at all, but if it's supposed to mimic a root
window, then how about a dark granite texture?
