    The script uses the output of "debtags search x11::window-manager", maybe the aura package doesn't meet that criterion?

    I'm typing on fvwm-crystal right now and... it's definitely weird.
    Elementary is really cool and pretty though.

    Exotic, clunky and unusable? Try Gnome 3 or Unity...

    Oh, you said old.

    Yeah, but then you don't have a WM (which is the point here).

    I totally agree with you though.

    It's a bit like it used to be before Windows95/MacOS9 style took over the mainstream Linux desktop. Quite impressive what they did on top of Fvwm.

    But it looks and functions nothing like the Austrumi version - and I don't have the knowledge to replicate:

    Looks nice. Due to the modularity used by the fvwm-crystal configuration replication may be a bit difficult. In Ubuntu fvwm-crystal stores its system defaults in /usr/share/fvwm-crystal/fvwm/ - it should be a similar path in Austrumi. You'll ned to find out which folders are different in Austrumi and Ubuntu and how to copy and activate them in Ubuntu.
