8.25. Style.fvwmconf

Main decoration configuration. Style '*' is applied globally. This is the main source of CDE and Motif-like look and behavior. If user wants to preserve CDE-like look and feel, this options should not be changed too much. Otherwise, a plain FVWM configuration can be done which can drastically differ from NsCDE, since FVWM has much more options and variants for a huge number of tastes. Style '*' options are partially overridden or extended in NsCDE.conf which can be generated with Window Style Manager or simply copied from $NSCDE_DATADIR/fvwm to $FVWM_USERDIR and edited to suit.

Options in Style.fvwmconf are grouped in 7 categories:

This styles can be extended and/or overridden by the user's own $FVWM_USERDIR/Style.fvwmlocal, and core style for all windows (*) can be overriden by creating $FVWM_USERDIR/Style.override which extends or changes directives for core style from $NSCDE_DATADIR/fvwm/Style.fvwmconf prior to applying particular application styles and prior to reading $FVWM_USERDIR/Style.fvwmlocal.

Colorsets and fonts used in this configuration are generated and stored in Font-$DPIdpi.fvwmgen and Colorset.fvwmgen.

Man page fvwm(1) has a rich and extended description of what can be done with a huge set of Style commands.
