treewm is a window manager that tries to implement a new concept. In
addition to the client windows the user can create desktops which can
themselves contain windows and desktops. By arranging the windows in
such a tree the user is able to manage his tasks efficiently treewm is
feature-rich, flexible and provides a powerful concept. However,
treewm's look is is rather puristic, and its feel is not always
intuitive, but with a bit of practise it should be very effective to
use.
Short feature list (some of them are quite unique among window managers):
- Allows to create desktops and to arbitrarily move windows between
desktops
- Many options (such as sticky, autoresize, always on top, or the
focus or raise policy) can be set for any desktop or window
- Can be fully customized using the configuration file
- Has a very powerful (somewhat vi-like) command mode, and can be
controlled from shell scripts via a FIFO
- Icons can be placed on desktops that can execute arbitrary commands
- Only uses very common libraries, in particular it doesn't require
GTK, Qt, or anything like that
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.
With AllTray you can dock any application with no native tray icon (like
Evolution, Thunderbird, terminals) into the system tray. A high-light feature
is that a click on the "close" button will minimize back to system tray. It
works well with GNOME, KDE, XFCE 4*, Fluxbox* and WindowMaker*.
A simple GTK-2 Terminal with tabs.
iDesk lets you put launch icons and background directly on the
root window of your X.
bbappconf makes it possible to set some options for the windows blackbox opens,
like:
* on which desktop they should open
* if it should be displayed without titlebar
* if it should be sticky
* position size of windows
IMWheel translates mouse wheel activity into keycodes for X11 applications,
using a configuration file that allows per-user translation preferences.
For more information on setting up your wheeled mouse to work with X, see
either the imwheel man page or the FreeBSD FAQ.
xcalib is a program that allows you to use ICC profiles (to load its
'vcgt'-tag) for X11 servers display calibration with XVidModeExtension
supported (like X.org or XFree86 4.x.x). It can't create the profiles
so you need to acquire them elsewhere (e.g. from some commercial
program or from your display vendor).
xcalib is a postcardware. So if you like this program, send a picture
postcard from your country/area to:

The purpose of keyboardcast is to allow you to send keystrokes to multiple
X windows at once. This allows you, for example, to control a number of
terminals connected to different but similar hosts for purposes of mass-
administration.
You can also select non-terminals. If you come up with a reasonable use
for this ability I'd be interested in hearing about it.
The program can select windows to send to either by matching their titles
(using a substring) or by clicking on them (in a method similar to GIMP's
screenshot feature).
The program also features the ability to spawn off multiple instances of
gnome-terminal executing a single command on multiple arguments (for example
executing 'ssh' on several hosts). The gnome-terminals are invoked with
the profile 'keyboardcast' if it exists (so, for example, your font size
can be smaller).
This is a set of thin C++ wrappers for libgnome library.
