This window manager is yet another descendant of aewm. It has title bars,
|
|
shading, a widget for resizing, automatic placement of windows (with the upper
|
|
left corner at the current position of the mouse) as they open, and a list (by
|
|
title) from which windows may be chosen for raising or un-iconizing. Some
|
|
features are implemented in applets, not all of which work in this port.
|
|
|
|
from the home page:
|
|
It is somewhat ICCCM compliant (it knows what a transient window is,
|
|
and catches client messages and knows the MIT-SHAPE). It does not try
|
|
to look like any other known OS (though, some people tell me it looks
|
|
like Mac OS, others say Amiga.) So, if you want a window manager that
|
|
is sanely usable within the smallest constraints (and without you
|
|
thinking you have an inept piece of software), then this is for you.
|
|
|
|
from the README:
|
|
As its name implies, alloywm is a quite exquisite, aesthetic little
|
|
window manager for X11. The premise of this window manager is not to
|
|
be over-bloated [...] to keep the interface out of a user's way [...]
|
|
|
|
It is not very configurable [...]
|
|
|
|
[...] you cannot click inside the window to give focus [...]
