PWM is a rather lightweight window manager. It has the unique feature that
|
|
multiple client windows can be attached to the same frame. This feature helps
|
|
keep windows, especially the numerous xterms, organized.
|
|
|
|
Being a lightweight window manager with emphasis on usability, PWM does not
|
|
have all the features that one might expect from a window manager. Those
|
|
features are simply unnecessary. PWM does not provide pixmapped themes or
|
|
other bloated eye candies but has a clean and simple look inspired by BeOS
|
|
and Motif. There are no icons and frames cannot be iconified, only "shaded".
|
|
Only one pointer focus mode is supported: sloppy. PWM does not even have
|
|
titlebar buttons and may not be the easiest window manager to get into; most
|
|
good things are not.
|
|
|
|
PWM has workspaces, menus and Window Maker dockapp support. It has pretty
|
|
good keyboard support and almost all of the functionality is configurable.
