This is no layer on top of twm, but a wholly +new architecture. + +Despite this extensibility its policy is currently very minimal +compared to most window managers. Its aim is simply to manage windows +in the most flexible and attractive manner possible. As such it does +not implement desktop backgrounds, applications docks, or other things +that may be achieved through separate applications. + +All high-level wm functions are implemented in Lisp for future +extensibility or redefinition. Currently this includes menus (using +GTK+), interactive window moving and resizing, virtual workspaces, +iconification, focus/transient window policies, frame theme definitions +and much more. |
