FVWM95 is a window manager for the X Window System based on the popular FVWM2 window manager. It is similar to the original FVWM, but is designed to closely resemble the look of Windows 95.
FVWM95 was for a while a rather popular window manager; for example, Red Hat Linux 5.0 used it as the default. It is no longer as popular (nor is it well-maintained), but still in use.
Similar window managers include QVWM, IceWM and JWM
[edit] Features
- Windows 95-like appearance.
- Taskbar for quick window switching.
- Virtual desktop support.
- Most features from FVWM2 (may not include absolute latest bleeding-edge capabilities).
