+WindowLab is a small and simple window manager of novel design, based on aewm.
+
+It's click-to-focus, shares its window depth policy with the Amiga, and has
+a window resizing/reshaping method similar to that of 8/5 from Plan 9.
+WindowLab maintains the illusion of direct manipulation by constraining the
+mouse pointer when appropriate, ie when a window cannot be dragged any further
+in one direction. The pointer is also constrained vertically (effectively
+making the target menu items infinitely tall according to Fitts's law) when
+it's in the menubar to reduce pointing time.
