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
i3 is a window manager designed with a tiling approach and built entirely from the ground up. It is compatible with GNU/Linux and BSD operating systems, and it is released as Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) under the BSD license. The design of i3 primarily caters to advanced users and developers. Drawing from our experiences while attempting to modify wmii, we established several objectives for i3. Key among these is ensuring that the software can be customized by individuals who possess programming knowledge but may not be well-versed in the intricacies of X11. To achieve this, we aim to provide comprehensive documentation that explains the reasoning behind various functionalities and their timing, allowing users to grasp the full scope of responsibilities handled by a Window Manager just through the source code. Furthermore, we prioritize the correct implementation of multi-monitor setups, enabling each workspace to be assigned to a distinct virtual screen. It is critical to ensure seamless operation during the connection and disconnection of new monitors, such as video projectors, while also supporting rotated displays, thus enhancing user experience and flexibility in different working environments. In doing so, we hope to create a more intuitive and adaptable window management experience for users.
