Sawfish is an extensible window manager using an Emacs Lisp-like
|
|
scripting language--all window decorations are configurable, the basic
|
|
idea is to have as much user-interface policy as possible controlled
|
|
through the Lisp language. This is no layer on top of twm, but a wholly
|
|
new architecture.
|
|
|
|
Despite this extensibility its policy is currently very minimal
|
|
compared to most window managers. Its aim is simply to manage windows
|
|
in the most flexible and attractive manner possible. As such it does
|
|
not implement desktop backgrounds, applications docks, or other things
|
|
that may be achieved through separate applications.
|
|
|
|
All high-level wm functions are implemented in Lisp for future
|
|
extensibility or redefinition. Currently this includes menus (using
|
|
GTK+), interactive window moving and resizing, virtual workspaces,
|
|
iconification, focus/transient window policies, frame theme definitions
|
|
and much more.
