IMHO, the default is pretty ugly.

My mwm is nice and three-d.  I spend some time hacking/borrowing
resources to get it to look the way I wanted.

I have (for nice grey menus and things) the defaults below.  As a quicker
route you might want to use ``*makeColors: shadow'' to turn the three-d
effect on.

! Color Settings
Mwm*Background:			Gray
Mwm*Foreground:			Black
Mwm*activeTopShadowColor:       White
Mwm*activeBottomShadowColor:    DimGray
Mwm*topShadowColor:             LightGray
Mwm*bottomShadowColor:          DimGray
Mwm*menu*topShadowColor:        White
Mwm*menu*bottomShadowColor:     DimGray
Mwm*menu*Background:		LightGray
Mwm*menu*Foreground:		White
Mwm*iconImageBottomShadowColor: Black
Mwm*iconImageTopShadowColor:    White
Mwm*activeForeground:		White
Mwm*activeBackground:		LightGray
Mwm*iconImageBackground:	LightGray
Mwm*iconImageBottomShadowColor:	Black
Mwm*iconImageForeground:	Black
Mwm*iconImageTopShadowColor:	White
! Generate any 3-d effects not specified
Mwm*makeIconColors:		shadow
! Place clients according to their requested jommetrys
Mwm*clientAutoPlace:		false
! Point to type, not point and click
Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy:        pointer
! Stop huge windows
Mwm*maximumMaximumSize:		1280x1024
! Smaller and neater than the normal handles
Mwm*resizeBorderWidth:          7
! A transient shouldn't be around long enough for you to want
! to resize it anyway.  
Mwm*transientDecoration:	border title
! So that the client can change icons while running (e.g. mailers)
Mwm*useClientIcon:		True
! Hpwm style default logon on icons
Mwm*iconImage:			/usr/include/X11/bitmaps/xlogo32
! And much, much more, which has been deleted in the interests of
! not boring the pants off you.
