trying to follow the keep it simple philosophy: using twm w/ right click borders to move windows, left click borders to resize, middle click borders to delete 🙂
here's what my laptop looks like!
i decided on the host name step because the colors you see are gradients from gray0 (black for the text in xterm) to gray20 (inactive window border) to gray40 (active window border) to gray60 (for cursor color) to gray80 (for wallpaper) and finally gray100 (white for xterm background)
