I am not able to create it by myself. I don't know how icons exit menu and menu list works in TC.

qvwm is a window manager for the X Window system which provides a user experience very close to Windows 95/98. It is small and extremely fast.
The qvwm window manager looks almost identical on first glance to Windows 95/98. This allows users to move with ease from Windows to Unix and vice versa.
qvwm was written by Kenichi Kourai in 1996 and released at this site . He is no longer involved, and the project is run by a team of volunteers.
The project is currently hosted using the combined resources of
SourceForge and EcolNet .
qvwm starts very fast - a fraction of a second on a Pentium I. So it's ideally suited to thin clients. The only library that it depends on (apart from standard X Windows libraries) is libXpm, which now comes standard with most distributions. qvwm also runs on other operating systems.
qvwm is licenced under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

Where I can find an instruction how to adjust this new windows manager to menu and icons that are used in TinyCore?
-
Can I send this extension but without menu entries and icons script that will adjust config file based on installed applications?
-
Please submit the extension and I’ll take a look.

I want that qvwm works with Xprogs icons, but qvwm don't support png icons. Could you add xpm icons to Xprogs.tcz in TC15 x86_32?
-
IMO that would be an unnecessary waste of space. Most apps don't include xpm icons either, so your extension will have to do conversion anyway.
