Author Notes
The Macintosh themes have gotten some attention, so I added more variants and a matching panel. The next release will be licensed, so this theme is now named "pear" to avoid legal complications. The included "pear-panel" has a pear logo, but "macintosh-panel" in "Extra" has the Apple logo. (Yes, I know Tahoma is distasteful in this case).

Fvwm Starter kit 1.1 is almost finished. It has more themes, modules and other fixes.
This time I'm licensing it under GPLv2 so it can be packaged and shared elsewhere. Because of this, many themes have been renamed, had their icon replaced or moved to an "Extra" package. If you disagree with the license decision, please let me know.

This only applies if you are sharing this project or your own modification of it. If you release your own themes or modules for it, you can license them however you want. Of course, you don't have to upload your personal config in order to use this project, since this is only relevant if you decide to do share it. You can also release your own config with a mixed license, so that the original files remain GPL, while your own have a different license.

Also, I noticed that some earlier projects have the same name as mine. My project is not related to these and I’m sorry for this coincidence. But please check them out too:

Oh wow! is the menubar actually functional? maybe you could implement a simple cool alll-in-one control panel like the one in mac os system 1!
It currently opens user defined menus. Fvwm could alternatively be used in a xfce session with xfce4-appmenu-plugin. Maybe vala-panel-appmenu can be embedded in a FvwmButton too.

mlvwm is another interesting option and it's based on fvwm.

I'll think of some System 1 inspired widgets for the next release. But I'm not sure if a control panel will work in this configuration.
