Ratpoison is a simple Window Manager with no fat library dependencies, no fancy graphics, no window decorations, and no flashy wank. It is largely modelled after GNU Screen which has done wonders in virtual terminal market. All interaction with the window manager is done through keystrokes. ratpoison has a prefix map to minimize the key clobbering that cripples EMACS and other quality pieces of software.

Obmenu is a menu editor designed for Openbox. It's easy to use, allowing you to get the most out of the powerful Openbox menu system, while hiding the xml layout from the user. It can install dynamic menus (pipe menus), such as Gnome menus or a quick-navigator. You can also use the obxml module to easily write pipe menus of your own in Python.

WMII is a small, dynamic window manager for X11. It supports both classic and tiling (acme-like) window management with extended keyboard, mouse, and 9p filesystem based remote control. It replaces the workspace paradigm with a new tagging approach and is highly scriptable (with plain shell or Python and even Chicken). Its minimalist philosophy attempts to not exceed 10.000 lines of code (including all shipped utilities and libraries), to enforce simplicity and clarity (read: it is hackable and beautiful).

Tint is a simple panel/taskbar/systray intentionally made for openbox3, but should also work with other window managers. The goal is to keep a clean and unintrusive look with lightweight code and compliance with freedesktop specifications. Tint taskbar features * color/transparency on font, icon, border and background * customize mouse event * drag and drop task between desktop and switch desktop Tint panel features * clock with font, color and transparency * multi-monitor : panel position adjust to monitor, taskbar by monitor

The wmctrl program is a command line tool to interact with an EWMH/NetWM compatible X Window Manager. It provides command line access to almost all the features defined in the EWMH specification. Using it, it's possible to, for example, obtain information about the window manager, get a detailed list of desktops and managed windows, switch and resize desktops, change number of desktops, make windows full-screen, always-above or sticky, and activate, close, move, resize, maximize and minimize them.

The xcb-util module provides a number of libraries which sit on top of libxcb, the core X protocol library, and some of the extension libraries. These experimental libraries provide convenience functions and interfaces which make the raw X protocol more usable. Some of the libraries also provide client-side code which is not strictly part of the X protocol but which have traditionally been provided by Xlib. Image module is a port o Xlib's XImage and XShmImage functions.

xcolorsel is a X-Utility based on this widget that allows you to display such files ( /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt by default ) together with tiles showing how the color looks on your screen. Also a programmer may (like with xfontsel) cut the color names/definitions in various formats (Colorformats and formats for resourcefiles or C-sources) und paste them directly in his source codes.

This program sets attribute "override_redirect" to True for any window you've specified (using window name). Window Managers should ignore such windows; it's useful, for example, if you're using wmx Window Manager, and want to have a clock on every virtual screen and without any borders. Just add the following string to your X-startfile (after starting watch app): xnodecor -w watch (assuming that your watch application has a window named "watch")

The goal of the xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin is double. First, it is intented to offer you a fast and easy way to configure the plugins wich are on your panel. Secondly, it is able to display these launchers on one or more lines, and they are displayed so that they don't waste space. They also feature a little zoom effect when you pass the mouse over them.
