Okay, then back to the original question "How much re-hacked
fvwm95 is compared to fvwm?" or some such: fvwm95 functions
exactly as fvwm does, it just looks a little bit different:
there's an additional button in the corner with a cross to
close a windows, the window frame color is the same (in fvwm
it changes), fvwm95 uses icons in its taskbar and its popup
menues. Both use almost the same syntax in their config files
except that fvwm95 has few more addons. Also, accordingly to
Hector Peraza, one of mantainers of fvwm95, parts of it are
(have been?) re-written in C++.
I have a (140K) screenshot of it at:
