CTWM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Unix computing, CTWM is a window manager for the X Window System in the twm family of window managers. It was created in 1992 by Claude Lecommandeur from the source code for twm, which he extended to allow for virtual desktops ("workspaces" in CTWM's terminology.)

CTWM supports up to 32 virtual desktops. It is also highly customizable and supports XPM and JPEG images, advanced icon management, animated icons and backgrounds, and 3D titles and borders. There is also rudimentary GNOME support and backwards-compatibility with twm.
