# BACKGROUND

FVWM myExtension is based on default FVWM3. The config is split into folders and runs in the same sequence as the default.

1. 1Functions
2. 2-3Styles (includes syles and colorsets)
3. 4Menus
4. 5Bindings
5. 6Decor
6. 7Modules

This structure helps to maintain and create new functions, decors, and modules. It has one simple  tool (config) to load and close the extensions (similar to Gnome Extensions). This gives the name FVWM myExtensions. :)
