Description-en: lightweight and efficient window manager for X11
cwm is a minimalist stacking window manager ported from OpenBSD.
Originally inspired by evilwm, it was rewritten from scratch due
to limitations in the evilwm codebase.
.
cwm contains many features that concentrate on the efficiency and
transparency of window management. cwm also aims to maintain the simplest
and most pleasant aesthetic. It provides minimal decoration and screen
clutter, instead having powerful controls to manage windows, launch
programs etc. via key and mouse bindings. A "virtual desktop" can be
simulated by the ability to group windows, and to show and hide these
groups.
.
cwm is very configurable via a simple, clearly documented .cwmrc file.
.
If you are looking for simple menus and pretty icons, cwm is probably
not going to be your cup of tea. If you don't mind a little learning
curve and want something powerful and flexible, try it out.
