Description: very small lightweight pure X11 window manager with tray and menus
Low resource Window manager ideal for older PCs. It uses a minimum of
external libraries, thus very little memory, includes virtual screens,
menubar and root-menu popup.
.
JWM is a window manager for the X11 Window System. JWM is written in
C and uses only Xlib and (optionally) the shape extension and libXpm.
It can support some MWM, GNOME, and WM Spec hints. The menu configuration
files are managed in XML format.
.
This JWM package is built with support for the full suite of supported
image formats, including JPEG, PNG, SVG and XPM; as well as Xinerama
and Xrender extensions, and FreeType-based font rendering.
.
Compared to other light WM, like FVWM or Openbox, the Jwm consumes
considerably less memory while providing the same functionality.
