NAME
icewm - lightweight X11 window managerDESCRIPTION
IceWM is lightweight X11 window manager. The goal of IceWM is to provide a small, fast and familiar window manager for the X11 window system. Compatibility with the window manager is desired and will be implemented where appropriate.It was originally designed to emulate the look of Motif, OS/2 Warp 4, OS/2 Warp 3 and Windows 95. Since it has a theming engine (hint: http://www.icewm.org/) others styles are possible. It also tries to combine the feel of the above systems whenever it is compatible.
Generally, it tries to make all functions available both by keyboard and by mouse (this is not currently possible when using mouse focus). Extreme configurability similar to fvwm and many other window managers is NOT the goal. However IceWM configurability is very good throught its various preferences files.
IceWM consists of several parts:
icewm - the actual window manager binary. This is the one you need to get window decorations.
icewmbg - the background setting applications. It can assign plain background color or images in different formats to the X background, shared or separated for different workspaces. This program should be started before IceWM startup.
icewmtray - catches the Docklet objects installed by various applications like PSI.
icewm-session - runs all of the above when needed. Implements basic session management.
icesh - could be used to manage IceWM internals from command line.
icewmhint - used internaly.
icesound - plays audio files on GUI events raised by IceWM.
