Our take on a basic window manager for Linux which adheres to the philosophy of "do one thing and do it well." As a result, this window manager only manages windows and does not provide any supervision at all. Instead it relies on another program, such as wbar or web.de, to actually provide that functionality. And in order to keep administration to a minimum, there is only one config file that can be manipulated to change the appearance of the window chrome using css styled syntax.

Features

  • css style config file to control the looks and layout of the window chrome
  • Small footprint - less than 600k
  • Useful for desktop, mobile, and kiosk applications
  • Possible control through sockets
  • Process triggered events via FIFO
  • Environment supervision is user defined
  • Interface can be controlled with mouse and/or keyboard
  • Hotkeys can be configured at compile-time
  • User alerts with optional auto execution upon clicking
  • Several themes (chrome.css files) are available

PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.
