+Mission for today: window decoration.
+In Xorg, the WM is responsible for drawing titlebars, borders and so on.
+Those are the =decorations=.
+
+By default, Fvwm comes with a modern, flat design.
+A bit boring for my test.

+Default look

+
+What I want is the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motif_%28software%29][Motif]] style.
+It's as cool as it gets - my taste in design is evolving, just backwards.
+
+Luckily, Fvwm has me covered here!
+This [[https://www.fvwm.org/Wiki/Decor/CDE/][decor]] is ready to use.
+It even comes with multiple colours to choose from.
+All I had to do is to add the decor from documentation and replace colours.
+
+For me, I've chosen the SkyRed colours.
+This is an escape from the gray hell of Apple design.
+
+I've also:
+- made the title bar a bit taller.
+  I've got 4k monitor, after all.
+- move the title of the window to the left.
+
+This resulted in this marvel:
+
+#+attr_shortcode: :file fvwm-wd-cde.png
+#+attr_shortcode: :alt Screenshot of St terminal editor
+#+attr_shortcode: :class centered
+#+begin_image
+3D madness!
+#+end_image
+
+You can easily change all the sizes, colours - but I am happy with this.
+I have also decided not to modify any buttons in the title bar - but it's also straightforward.
+
+In 10 minutes (including finding out how) I've done what MacOS makes impossible.
+Now I really don't want to return to that gray pit.
