FVWM-CRYSTAL(1)

💖 FVWM-CRYSTAL 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about fvwm-crystal(1) and honestly? it's giving main character energy in the desktop environment world. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

fvwm-crystal — a whole desktop environment based on fvwm2. no cap. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically, fvwm-crystal is a desktop environment built on top of fvwm2. iconic, we know. 💅

and get this — you can optionally use a file manager to show your desktop icons, because sometimes you want your vibes visible, y'know? the supported ones for this task are ROX-filer and nautilus. pick your fighter, both slay. 🎀

not only that, fvwm-crystal also has UI integration for a bunch of music players, and among them are audacious and mpd. so you can be bopping while you're computing, periodt. 🔥

and omg the menu system?? it's very powerful — literally one of its whole things. it comes with an extensive default configuration, but you can customize and extend it however you want to fit your own personal requirements. it's your world and we're just living in it, bestie. 👑

the fvwm-crystal script launches fvwm-crystal, and you can call it, like, from your ~/.xinitrc file. super chill, super easy. ✨

lowkey important lore: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution, because the original program doesn't have a manual page. so this is a bespoke little treat made just for us. 💖
