Luz is an X11 window manager with an app launching overlay (requires OpenGL for compositing effects), a plugin architecture (Zoom and Expo plugins are partially implemented) and an auto-hide Dock for active apps. Window management is derived from JWM. The animated spinning wait cursor is the basis for an application state watchdog.

Features
