Description

IceWM serves as a window manager designed for the X Window System, prioritizing speed, user-friendliness, and unobtrusiveness. It features a taskbar integrated with a pager, offers global and specific keybindings for each window, and employs a dynamic menu system for efficient navigation. Users can manage application windows using both keyboard and mouse inputs, allowing for various actions such as minimizing to the taskbar, tray, or desktop, or even hiding them entirely. Quick window switching is facilitated through the Alt+Tab shortcut and the window list. A variety of customizable focus models can be selected from menus, enhancing user control. Additionally, IceWM efficiently accommodates setups with multiple monitors through RandR and Xinerama support. Its high level of configurability, theming options, and comprehensive documentation make it appealing for users. The manager also includes an optional external wallpaper manager that supports transparency, along with a straightforward session manager and a system tray for added functionality. Furthermore, the robust capabilities of IceWM allow users to tailor their desktop experience to suit individual preferences.

Description

This application enables users to effortlessly arrange their windows on a flexible grid solely using their mouse. It enhances the utility of the right mouse button during window movement by activating grid snap mode. The program is user-friendly, portable, and easy to install, functioning harmoniously with Aerosnap while remaining unobtrusive. Users can customize the grid overlay, which supports auto-updating and adjustable input options. Compatibility extends to Windows Vista (SP2), 7 (SP1), 8, 8.1, and 10, with features that allow for saved window positions and theme personalization. However, users may experience occasional delays with the grid overlay, and the WindowGrid32.dll file might need to be placed on certain antivirus software's exclusion lists. Additionally, there can be issues when moving non-DPI-aware windows between monitors that utilize DPI scaling. WindowGrid serves as a contemporary solution for window management on Windows systems, offering a simple method to choose the initial grid position for window placement by simply moving the cursor. This functionality significantly streamlines workspace organization and enhances user productivity.
