# fvwm-crystal(1)

Desktop environment based on fvwm2

## NAME

fvwm-crystal - Desktop environment based on fvwm2

## DESCRIPTION

**fvwm-crystal** is a desktop environment based on fvwm2. A file manager may be optionally used to display desktop icons, ROX-filer and nautilus are supported for this task. FVWM-crystal furthermore has UI integration for various music players, among them audacious and mpd. There is also a very powerful menu system that has an extensive default configuration but may be customized and extended by each user to fit personal requirements. The fvwm-crystal script launches fvwm-crystal and may be called, e.g., from your ~/.xinitrc file.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
