fvwm-crystal -- lack of documentation?

Hey, I am trying to set up fvwm-crystal, the trouble is I dont know how. I searched for some documentation, but it appears to be none existent. Im looking to configure something similar to this.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

No one can help me at all? Someone MUST know the syntax.

Re: fvwm-crystal -- lack of documentation?

EDIT: Wait a minute.. fvwm-crystal appears to be in the official pacman Extra repositories.. Why are you trying to do this manually? I don't understand.

Just pacman -S fvwm-crystal.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FVWM-Crystal

The documentation seems rather complete to me, with exception to assuming an install of an older version exists already.. or perhaps I'm misunderstanding your request, I don't know. I just followed some links in the original thread your link was from to find it. It appears to even be distro-neutral except for installing dependencies and adding additional programs, which one can easily fix to Arch form.

You could probably easily make an Arch PKGBUILD for this setup based on the instructions, or ask someone in the pkgbuild forum section to do it for you. I may do it myself at some point if I get bored and nobody else has done it already.

I mean documentation of the config files. Syntax, keywords and so on!

Re: fvwm-crystal -- lack of documentation?

What you need is FVWM documentation, fvwm-crystal is just a distribution of config files and some scripts. Documentation for their setup is distributed with it, in form of manual pages. But for fvwm2rc syntax you need FVWM documentation http://www.fvwm.org/

You need to install an RTFM interface.
