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.
