How to create Windows XP styled fvwmrc file?

Installed OpenBSD, it default uses FVWM2.

Does anyone has an rc file, that could make FVWM2 Windows XP styled? :)

There is one fvwm2 configuration that looks very much like Windows XP. So you do not have to actually create on your own from start.

This page on xwinman.org has noted the following:

Here are some setups for version 2 of fvwm. They should either be called .fvwm2rc or fvwmrc, depending on how fvwm2 was configured [...]

  • From [email protected], added in November 2003: This screenshot (273k) shows fvwm2 configured to look very much like Windows XP. The configuration files (216k) for this are available, as are the numerous icons (3052k) [...]

Note that links to the screenshot, configuration files and icons are intentionally not quoted here to respect bandwidth of the hosting site.

The following screenshot is showing the setup:

Disclaimer: I do not use FVWM and BSD systems. I just happened to find the resource from web search using the keywords "linux fvwm2 windows xp theme".

TL;DR Go to the mentioned page on xwinman.org and download the configuration file as Tar archive (gzip-compressed). The fvwm2rc and other configuration files are found inside the downloaded file.
