twm: icons size

[Hiisi]

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:

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
...
ImagePath $HOME/icons:+:$HOME/icons/Background;png
ImagePath +:/usr/share/pixmaps;png:
ImagePath +:/usr/share/icons;png
ImagePath +:/usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/apps
ImagePath +:/usr/share/icons/locolor/32x32/apps
ImagePath +:/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps
...
Style *FileRunner*       Icon fr.xpm
Style mxterm             Icon Dtterm.xpm, IconOverride
...

BR, Bob

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:

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?
