Multi-Cursor Window Manager (ICE-MC)

Project News for Multi-Cursor Window Manager (ICE-MC)

  • Multi-Cursor Window Manager (Ice-MC) initial release, v. 1.0

    Multi-Cursor ICEWM is a multi-user window manager. It creates a desktop environment that allows for simultaneous input from multiple users. Users can work concurrently on different applications or desktop items. Each user gets a uniquely colored cursor. The multi-cursor window manager works by time-slicing the single system cursor. The state of each user's multi-cursor is maintained and restored just before an XEvent is sent to the system. Up to seven simultaneous users are supported.

    Ice-MC is currently available for Unix X11 environments. The client program which sends a user’s keyboard/mouse input is available for Unix, Mac OS X and Cygwin environments.

    More information is available at http://multicursor-wm.sourceforge.net/. Source code and binary distributions can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/multicursor-wm.
