I think that screenshot it actually of fvwm and not scwm.

Scwm has been in a state of bitrot for many years (6 or 7?).  I have
been (slowly!) bringing it up to date to work with Guile 1.8.x.  No
promises of when a release will be available.

In the meantime why don't you check out fvwm?  It's in active
development, *completely* configurable, has an active user communuity,
and conforms to the current EWMH standards.  See http://fvwm.org and
#fvwm on freenode.

[Scwm-discuss] scwm configuration

[arnuld <ar...@gm...>]

for all of my time of 5 years with computers, i have only used
Desktops, 3 years with idiot Windows, now GNOME from last 1 year. now,
as of today, i hate Desktops (i must call it "the UNIX effect" a.k.a
"Command-Line Addiction")

when 1st i read about "X + Window Manager" concept, i got fascinated.
i am fascinated 2nd time today when i saw SCWM after interacting with
lots of other Window managers. i tried to read the "Refrence manual"
but i am not able to understand anything of "SCWM configuration".

Can someone please post his configuration files, from where i can and
understand SCWM coding? or if you can point me to any "SCWM how to"
document. i only want to have this kind of interface:

[Scwm-discuss] scwm and Guile 1.8!

[Dale S. <ds...@us...>]

Howdy Scwmers,

Well, at long last it's started to happen.  Last week I did a massive
checkin to cvs that brings scwm mostly up to date with the recently
released Guile 1.8.0.  The code compiles cleanly and runs the
simple.scwmrc file.  There are still some auto* tool issues and I
haven't even begun looking at installation, but I thought give people
some indication that the bitrot is being purged.

Unfortunately, sourceforge is currently having some issues with anon
cvs, and with that the web cvs interface.
