I am posting my config, which is based on 4Dwm. There are a like these around but I figured one more won’t hurt. This is based on work by Yakukmo and customized by me to be more 4Dwm-like and more to my tastes.
The thumbnail function is broken. No idea why.
You can add to your Irixy experience by using Rox as a desktop manager with the Iris icon set. I don’t use desktop icons myself though.
This is still somewhat a work in progress but very useable.
[code]# 4DWM-like config for FVWM
