fvwm Look and Feel, icons and themes

I am liking fvwm more and more. Rather I went ahead to get the themes and icons for fvwm and am quite happy with the amount of customization I can do with the WM. So, I found the themes page for the fvwm which gives about 27 themes and all of them look quite cool.

You can choose to have the gnome and the KDE menu in your fvwm menu which is built dynamically. Decide on when the window should become active and things like Animation, Auto Raise, Banner and the list continues and you dont have to search anything to do any of those.

You could use <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/customize-design-wordpress-theme-easily-constructor/">one of the customizable themes to modify the look to your liking, but that’s as far as you can go.
