Does anyone have a good example .fvwm2rc file that mimics twm?

(Google didn't find anything that appeared to be useful.)

Thanks.

Using the search terms

fvwm emulation twm

<http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=fvwm%20emulation%
20of%20twm&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8>

returns as the first item

CAUTION! That config file is for Fvwm1 which is completely
unsupported and should not be used.

Without any config file at all, Fvwm2 looks a little like TWM.
(If I remember right.) I don't think you'd find it too hard to just
build it yourself.

I looked at fvwm-themes but didn't see anything marked as TWM,
most people want something pretty elaborate.

I also looked thru the screenshots at Fvwm.org and didn't see anyone
purposely trying for the TWM look.

Maybe if you ask on the fvwm mailing list someone will have what
you want.

I've been using this:

For a very long time and I've never grown tired of those mottled blue
frames. I've changed my menus to use the same mottled blue as a
background since that screen shot.

No, but it can be used as a basis for writing an FVWM2 version of a TWM
emulation.
