vwm (console based window manager)
|
|
|
|
Viper Window Manager (VWM) is a lightweight, extensible window manager
|
|
for the console. Originally, VWM was designed to be the reference
|
|
implementation of libviper. In fact, the two projects were initially
|
|
one before public release.
|
|
|
|
From conception, VWM was designed to be both lightweight and ssh
|
|
friendly. Character based line-art compresses very well as do the
|
|
escape sequences which handle cursor manipulation. This makes VWM quite
|
|
suitable for low-bandwidth, remote connectivity over ssh.
|
|
|
|
It is also very easy to extend the functionality of VWM. By following
|
|
a few simple API rules, anyone can create a "native application"
|
|
which will appear on the VWM Main Menu. The mechanism for this is very
|
|
similar to Mozilla-style plugins.
|
|
|
|
See /usr/doc/vwm-2.0.2/samples/vwmrc for information on customising
|
|
VWM.
