FVWM: Anouncement: Fvwm-Nightshade 0.6 released

[Thomas Funk]

Hi all!

As you may already know we'd started a discussion about a more modern
config on the fvwm-workers list more than a year ago
(http://www.mail-archive.com/fvwm-***@fvwm.org/msg02529.html)

After that I've begun building a config with these ideas and suggestions.
Thomas Adam helped me a lot with tips and hints to make it Fvwm compliant
(https://github.com/ThomasFunk/Fvwm-Default-Config).

But somehow it drifted off and after a while I thought that cannot be the
end of that hard work and with a friend of mine a new project has been
evolved: Fvwm-Nightshade.

Now we have finished it and want to present it to all. You find it here:
http://fvwm-nightshade.github.com/Fvwm-Nightshade/

It would give us great pleasure to get feedback from anybody.

Also, if you think it is worth to pick it up to the Fvwm screenshot
gallery we would get more than happy, too ^^

Best Regards,
Thomas & Bernhard

I'll never use it, but I have nothing against it as long as
you never make me change my own config file.

The most spectacularly useful thing about fvwm is that
I can copy my own config from one fedora release to another
and I always see the same interface which I know how to use.
No learning how the heck to use all the "improvements" that
gnome, kde, et. al. always want to foist on me :-).

It never ever change any own config because it has its own folder
~/.fvwm-nightshade ^^
and if you use a graphical login manager you have an own entry for it.
So, you can use it parallel with your existing config :-)

Yeah, that's right ^^ 5 stars for Fvwm !!!
