JWM

From Encoresoup - The Ultimate Guide to Free/Open Source Software

JWM (Joe's Window Manager) is a window manager for the X Window System written by Joe Wingbermuehle. JWM is written in C and uses only Xlib at a minimum. Support for the following can be added as compile-time options:

• PNG and/or XPM icons
• Xft
• Xinerama
• FriBidi
• The Shape extension

It provides an interface akin to Windows 95 with a modern-looking appearance and it can support some GNOME, Motif Window Manager and WM spec hints.

JWM is the default window manager used in Damn Small Linux, System Rescue CD, most versions of Puppy Linux, and the in memory lightweight distribution Slitaz.
