Window Maker – your NeXT window manager

“Window Maker includes compatibility options which allow it to
work with other popular desktop environments, namely GNOME and KDE,
and comes with a powerful GUI configuration editor, called WPrefs,
which removes the need to edit text-based configuration files by
hand.

“Window Maker Features
We have already mentioned that Window Maker is a window manager.
There are other window managers out there, such as the infamous
FVWM, Enlightenment, AfterStep, and the list goes on. All window
managers perform the same basic tasks, which are to create, place,
keep track of, and draw borders around the windows on the screen.
Beyond this, they can become quite different in their various
abilities.

“Window Maker firmly adheres to the behavior and functionality
of the NEXTSTEP user interface. The developers have put forth a
great deal of effort in capturing the essense and beauty of the
original design, and have incorporated some new ideas of their own.
This has always followed the philosophy of keeping to those
features which fit well into the overall design, while limiting the
amount of “feature creep” that tends to bloat other window
managers. A summary of the main Window Maker features are presented
below.”
