PWM is a rather lightweight window manager for X11. It has the unique
|
|
feature that multiple client windows can be attached to the same
|
|
frame. This feature helps keeping windows, especially the numerous
|
|
xterms, organized. A look at the screenshots below might clarify the
|
|
idea.
|
|
|
|
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 True (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 does have workspaces, menus and Window Maker dockapp support. It has
|
|
pretty good keyboard support and almost all the functionality
|
|
is configurable.
