Mon, 12 June 2000
This technically does relate to the Desktop, and I thought I would point it out. I maintained irc.themes.org for about a year or so a while ago, and then handed it to someone else to work on. I would just like to invite everyone to go and check it out as he has been working everyday updating and maintaining it. Very good job!

It is fully functional and can do all the usual window manager stuff, like moving and resizing windows. The purpose of amiwm is to make life more pleasant for Amiga-fans who has or wants to use UNIX workstations once in a while. It can also be used on the Amiga with the AmiWin X server, although this part needs some more work.

IceWM
IceWM is a window manager for the X window system. It is designed to be small, fast, lightweight, and to emulate the look and feel of Motif, OS/2 and Windows.

Themes for this window manager are available at Themes.org.
FLWM
Flwm is an attempt to combine the best ideas seen in several window managers. The primary influence and code base is from wm2 by Chris Cannam. FLWM understands Motif, KDE, and Gnome window manager hints, and works with SGI programs that assumme 4DWM. It also has really small and fast code.
