| PackageDescription | Window Maker is an X11 window manager originally designed to provide
integration support for the GNUstep Desktop Environment. In every way
possible, it reproduces the elegant look and feel of the NEXTSTEP user
interface. It is fast, feature rich, easy to configure, and easy to
use. It is also free software, with contributions being made by
programmers from around the world.
Window Maker has a stable user interface since many years and comes
with a powerful GUI configuration editor called WPrefs, which removes
the need to edit text-based config files by hand. It supports running
dockapps which make everyday tasks such as monitoring system
performance and battery usage, mounting devices or connecting to the
internet very easy. Please see the features section for more specifics
on what Window Maker can do, and how it compares with other popular
window managers. |
