It has the unique +feature that multiple client windows can be attached to the same +frame. This feature helps keeping windows, especially the numerous +xterms, organized. A look at the screenshots below might clarify the +idea. + +Being a lightweight window manager with emphasis on usability, PWM does +not have all the features that one might expect from a window +manager. Those features are simply unnecessary. PWM does not provide +pixmapped themes or other bloated eye candies but has a clean and +simple look inspired by BeOS and Motif. There are no icons and frames +cannot be iconified, only "shaded". Only One True (pointer) focus +mode is supported: sloppy. PWM does not even have titlebar buttons and +may not be the easiest window manager to get into, most Good +Things are not. + +PWM does have workspaces, menus and Window Maker dockapp support. It has +pretty good keyboard support and almost all the functionality +is configurable. + +WWW: http://www.students.tut.fi/~tuomov/pwm/ |
