wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. It allows Python
programmers to create programs with a robust, highly functional graphical user
interface, simply and easily. It is implemented as a Python extension module
(native code) that wraps the popular wxWidgets cross platform GUI library, which
is written in C++.
This is a stable version of AfterStep. AfterStep is a NeXTstep style
window manager and features quick easy configuration of the look and
feel of your setup without the use of a .steprc file. Configuration in
most cases is far easier than it used to be. There are a few small bugs,
but this release is fairly stable. Included are a number of AfterStep
applications including asclock, ascd, and xiterm. There are a number of
other very Linux specific applications which are not at present included.
AfterStep is a continuation of the BowMan window manager which was
originally put together by Bo Yang. BowMan was based on the fvwm window
manager, written by Robert Nation. Fvwm was based on code from twm. And so
on... It is designed to emulate some of the look and feel of the NeXTstep
user interface, while adding useful, requested, and neat features. The
changes which comprise AfterStep's personality were originally part of
BowMan development, but due to a desire to move past simple emulation and
into a niche as its own valuable window manager, the current designers
decided to change the project name and move on. BowMan development may
continue, but we will no longer be a part of it.
Major changes from fvwm are:
- NeXTstep-like title bar, title buttons, borders and corners. BowMan's
Wharf is a much worked-out version of GoodStuff. To avoid copyright
complications it is not called a "dock."
- NeXTstep style menu. However, the menus are not controlled by
applications; they are more of pop-up service lists on the root window.
- NeXTstep style icons. These styles are hard-coded in the program, which is
good for the consistent look of the NeXTstep interface.
CTWM is an extension to twm, that support multiple virtual screens,
and a lot of other goodies.
You can use and manage up to 32 virtual screens called workspaces.
You swap from one workspace to another by clicking on a button in an
optionnal panel of buttons (the workspace manager) or by invoking a function.
You can custom each workspace by choosing different colors, names
and pixmaps for the buttons and background root windows.
Main features are :
- Optional 3D window titles and border (ala Motif).
- Shaped, colored icons.
- Multiple icons for clients based on the icon name.
- Windows can belong to several workspaces.
- A map of your workspaces to move quickly windows between
different workspaces.
- Animations : icons, root backgrounds and buttons can be animated.
- Pinnable and sticky menus.
- etc...
