FVWM version 3 -- the successor to fvwm2
Welcome to fvwm. Version 3 is a multiple large virtual desktop window manager.
The successor to fvwm-2.6.x.
Fvwm3 is intended to be extremely customizable and extendible while consuming a relatively small amount of resources.
Although an existing fvwm2 configuration should mostly work with fvwm3, it isn't guaranteed to work without some modifications. This is because fvwm3 has changed, often removing long-standing deprecated options.
More details about those changes can be found here
See the installation instructions
We have a strong community on IRC (libera.chat), in the #fvwm channel if you
fancy a chat.
There is also the Fvwm Forums where you can ask questions.
Issues (for bugs) can be opened, and any/all bug reports are appreciated!
Those interested in contributing to FVWM3 should have a read of the developer documentation.
A TODO file exists, and sometimes even things from it are worked on.
New commands and config file syntax thoughts are being documented here.
Please open a github issue or contact me directly if you wish to discuss a particular feature of issue you need help with.
FVWM is an old project -- well over 30 years of development. It came at a time when the people working on it really knew their stuff. They had to think about how fvwm interacted with xlib/xserver implementations, and work a lot things out for themselves.
All of it was done without AI, obviously.
It's absolutely important that FVWM continues to be maintained with this history in mind, to introduce AI would destroy that approach in a way which also destroys the people who have worked on it over the many years it has been alive.
It's important we protect this at all costs.
Therefore, the use of AI in this project means that it cannot be used for:
