FVWM-Crystal (2006) is a file-structured framework for congealing rich, richly textured recipes (i.e., skins) over the FVWM window manager. These recipes have several structural and non-structurally aesthetic advantages over simple, monolithic FVWM configuration files — which are:

• Provision for psuedo-transparent dialogs, menus, and panels.
• Provision for session-persistent, menu-configurable recipes and window decorations.
• Fine-grained, application-integrated keyboard support.
• Dynamic auto-population of system menus via inspection of locally installed applications.
• Internationalization.
• Implementation of a machine-portable, pre-definably resuable framework of FreeDesktop-integrated functions.

For your halcyon delight, Raiazome has developed a resource-efficient, wallpaper-, keyboard-, and console-centric recipe — named Arlun, after the Welsh for “painting.” See:
