This is a window manager based on the Qt library. It supports icons, keyboard controls, and virtual screens. It comes with two applets: a biff-like mail indicator and a clock, both designed to be swallowed by its toolbar. Caution! Killing this window manager will kill some of your X clients (applications).

JWM is a window manager for the X11 Window System. JWM is written in C and uses only Xlib at a minimum, though additional libraries are supported for extended functionality and features. JWM supports MWM and Extended Window Manager Hints (EWMH).

wmx is another window manager for X. It is based on wm2 and provides a similarly unusual style of window decoration; but in place of wm2's minimal functionality, it offers many of the features of more conventional managers, often in the most simplistic implementations imaginable. wmx is, however, still not configurable except by editing the source and recompiling the code.

Guake is a dropdown terminal made for the GNOME desktop environment, but you can run it with TWM too ;-), if you install ports/x11/trayer or a similar program. Its style of window is based on fps games, and one of its purposes is to be easy to reach.

This is 9menu, a simple program that allows you to create X menus from the shell, where each menu item will run a command. 9menu is intended for use with 9wm, but can be used with any other window manager. The idea of a command line menu generator is from xmenu, but xmenu is exclusively a pop-up menu, not what everyone wants.

Keybinder is a library for registering global keyboard shortcuts. Keybinder works with GTK-based applications using the X Window System. The port provides the following: - A C library, libkeybinder - Lua bindings, lua-keybinder - Python bindings, python-keybinder - An examples directory with programs in C, Lua, Python, and Vala

A 64x64 pixel application that displays nine buttons. Each of these buttons can be configured via a configuration file to run just about any application you'd like to. Basically, if you can type it in a shell command, wmbutton can run it. It is based on wmcp, by Ben Cohen.

Xautolock monitors console activity under the X window system, and fires up a program of your choice if nothing happens during a user configurable period of time. You can use this to automatically start up a screen locker in case you tend to forget to do so manually before having a coffee break.

Xdialog is designed to be a drop in replacement for the "dialog" or "cdialog" programs. It converts any terminal based program into a program with an X-windows interface. The dialogs are easier to see and use while adding even more functionalities.

xrootconsole is a small utility which displays its input in a transparent text box on X's root window. It will read from any file listed on the command line or, by default, from stdin. It is most useful when it reads from a FIFO; this allows you to redirect multiple commands to the FIFO and monitor their output.
