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.
