From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
echinus is a dynamic window manager for X11 supporting managing windows in floating, tiled and maximized layouts based on dwm. All the configuration is made via config file in Xresources format. So you don't need to recompile echinus every time you change something. Echinus supports a small subset of EWMH to be compatible with external panels and pagers. It draws a border around windows and also an optional titlebar. The goal of development is a small, fast window manager without features not strictly related to window management (menus, panels, etc.)
[edit] Drawbacks
- no gui configuration
- limited theming support
- no Xinerama
- no statusbar
