Dear list! I'm using twm on Fedora 19. Everything is perfect except that I don't like the size of icons on desktop. I.e. when application is minimized a tab appeared on the screen. And for most applications it look awful: http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/7089/77bf.png icons are too big :-( How do I change the size of icons? TIA

You could change the screen resolution...

http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.1/doc/twm.1.htmlIcons ... { win-list } This variable specifies a list of window names and the bitmap filenames that should be used as their icons. For example:
Icons { "XTerm" "xterm.icon" "xfd" "xfd_icon" }
Windows that match ``XTerm'' and would not be iconified by unmapping, and would try to use the icon bitmap in the file ``xterm.icon''. If ForceIcons is specified, this bitmap will be used even if the client has requested its own icon pixmap. ...
I'm advise you to try the fvwm as a lightweigth WM.
This is an excerpt from my ~/fvwm/config ...

This brings 404 error.

Thank you! Somehow I completely forgot about man page :-(

No. I don't want any fancy things on my desktop. I don't like fancy stuff at all. That's why I drive lada 1200 station wagon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lada_1200 I don't need any fancy things in my car either. Only the car. You understand my point?

Nice idea! But how do I change the screen resolution under twm?
