Fvwm-mTabs is a simplified version of KISe and myExt that uses FvwmTabs (a Python/Tk rewrite of the old Perl FVWM tabbing module). It keeps the socket/Tk design, multiple tabbers, assigned tabber IDs, a right-click menu, and autoSwallow behavior.
FVWM functions talk to FvwmTabs through the standard FvwmMFL module, and the FvwmMFL socket client is built into FvwmTabs itself.
-
Desk Icons include: Iconified Thumbnails, Full-Screen Maximize, Windows Overview, Tiling and Tabs with FvwmMFL socket.
-
Tab managers: Store any number of windows, each in its own tab. AutoSwallow automatically moves applications to a specific tab when they create windows. A powerful feature when combined with AutoMoveWindows, which moves apps and tabs to a specific desk/page.

Extract and copy subfolders to ~/.fvwm
When Fvwm is loaded for the first time, .fvwm/config creates a subsystem file (userExt.sys) that reads the scripts and runs the system.
