Blackbox Blackbox is yet another addition to the list of window managers for X. It is written in C++, sharing no common code with any other window manager (even though the graphics implementation is similar to that of WindowMaker). It features small code size, a fast interface with simple menus, multiple workspaces, decorated windows, built-in graphics code to render solids, gradients, and bevels on the fly, and more.

Dmenu dynamic menu is a generic menu for X, originally designed for dwm. It manages huge amounts (up to 10.000 and more) of user defined menu items efficiently.

Dynamic window manager dwm is a fast and simple window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiling and floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the environment for the application in use and the task performed. Windows can be tagged with one or multiple tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows that are accordingly tagged. dwm is the little brother of wmii.

E-xmms E-xmms is a Enlightenment applet that interfaces with XMMS. It will compare the previous and current states to determine if window painting should be done.

Efsane II Efsane is an X window manager programmed in C++. It can run any X application (KDE and GNOME also included). It can be installed under any Linux distribution like RedHat, Mandrake, SuSE, etc. As of Nov. 6, 2004, the developer will no longer be maintaining this package.

FVWM FVWM is a multiple large virtual desktop window manager originally derived from twm. FVWM is intended to have a small memory footprint and a rich feature set, be extremely customizable and extendable and have a high degree of Motif mwm compatibility. FVWM is highly extensible through its module interface.

Fancy9menu 'fancy9menu' is a small shell script that lets you easily implement a system of menus using 9menu and xwit. It ensures that only one copy of any distinct 9menu instance is running at a time. If no entry is running, it starts one.

Felidae Felidae is a collection of modules for FVWM written in Perl. Currently it contains:

• FvwmWallpaper
• FvwmStorage
• FvwmOsd
• FvwmXMMS

Fluxbox Fluxbox is a lightweight and highly configurable window manager with pwm-like tabs.

Flwm flwm is a window manager based on wm2. Primary features are:

• Nifty sideways titlebars.
• No icons. You deiconize by picking off a pop-up menu. This means no space is wasted by icons.
• The same pop-up menu controls multiple desktops and lets you launch programs.
• Occupies as little screen space as possible. The border and titles are as thin as they could possibly be. And maximized windows waste zero pixels vertically.
• Independent maximize buttons for width & height.
• Understands Motif, KDE, and Gnome window manager hints, and works with SGI programs that assume 4DWM.
• Really small and fast code.

FramebufferUI FBUI is a small, fast in-kernel GUI windowing system for the Linux kernel whose core is currently about 32kB large. It lets you put windows in each framebuffer-based virtual console, read keyboard input, track a mouse pointer, and respond to typical GUI events. Each process may have more than one window, and accesses its windows completely independently of all other processes. It supports windows on every virtual console, and there is no concept of parent and child windows. Each virtual console can have its own optional window manager process
