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
