Here’s my system info:
1920x1080
I want to use FVWM as an alternative desktop. It looks to me that FVWM has started properly but on left or right desktop click the text in the popup menus is so small, I can barely see it. In fact, the menus are tiny too. Is there a zoom function on one of those menus? If not how do I get fonts like 10 pt ‘something’. I hope you understand. If this isn’t the right category straighten me out :L)
You can edit your config (or if using the default config make a copy of it) and set the font size there.
What I do on modern larger monitors with a big resolution is change the fontsize of XFT fonts. I do this in my .Xdefaults file by adding the line Xft.dpi: 112. 112 is what I’m using which works fine. You need to make sure you merge this with your Xdefaults using xrdb before launching fvwm.

This what I meant
It’s for Fvwm-crystal
I tried changing the font size in .config for Fvwm but it didn’t take I guess. I will keep trying. None of the icons on the left work either.
UPDATE: After changing the font size in .config for Fvwm, the font in Fvwm is readable. I can’t figure it out for Fvwm-crystal though. I couldn’t find a .config file for crystal.
