WMApp is a C++ based library for writing WindowMaker-style dockapps. To write
a dockapp, it is generally necessary to perform some magic Xlib incantations,
supply a clipping mask, and set up X event checking. Like larger graphics
libraries such as GTK+ and Qt, WMApp automates this process by providing the
classes and functions necessary for widget creation and callbacks. The library
provides numerous widgets, all with the traditional dockapp appearance. Many
common dockapps could already be rewritten to use this library.
Oroborus is a small and simple window manager for X11 which has the
following features:
- Good default key bindings
- Windows are moveable by keyboard
- Highly configurable
- XPM-themable
- GNOME compatible
- NET_WM compatible
- Sort of KDE compatible
- And many, many more...
Oroborus doesn't provide any kind of dock, toolbar, program launcher,
background changer or root menu as these functions can be provided by
separate applications.
Ratmen is a simple program for displaying a menu in a window. On selection is
may either run a program or simply write something on standard out. It is
inspired by, and is similar in function to, 9menu and ratmenu but is muchly
improved. It includes: User settings in X resources, long and short option
names (using getopts), scrollable menus (if they do not fit on screen), both
mouse and keyboard support, exiting on unfocus, and a decent manpage.
Window Maker is an X11 window manager designed to give additional
integration support to the GNUstep Desktop Environment. In every
way possible, it reproduces the elegant look and feel of the
NeXTstep[tm] GUI. It is fast, feature rich, easy to configure, and
easy to use. In addition, Window Maker works with GNOME and KDE,
making it one of the most useful and universal window managers
available.

This is a major rewrite of the xmag program distributed by MIT with
X11R5. It features three modes of magnification. The magnifier
can be made to follow the mouse pointer around, displaying a
magnified image either in a window that is "sticky" to the pointer,
or in a stationary window. The magnifier can also be `anchored'
to continually magnify a fixed area of the screen.
The sticky window does not work.

KDE Base Applications consists of what runs on the desktop. This
module isn't a complete collection of essential applications that a
user would expect on a desktop (such as e-mail and calculator). This
package is the basic set of applications beyond the workspace that KDE
applications can assume are installed. These applications should have
no problem running on Windows, OS X, Gnome, etc. as stand alone
applications if the user wanted to use them there.
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")
xstroke is a full-screen gesture recognition program written for the X
Window System. It captures gestures that are performed with a pointer
device, (such as a mouse, a stylus, or a pen/tablet), recognizes the
gestures and performs actions based on the gestures.
xstroke is most commonly configured to "type" characters in response to
gestures, but it can also emulate mouse button "clicks", launch programs,
and other fun things.
AntiMicro is a graphical program used to map keyboard keys and mouse controls
to a gamepad. This program is useful for playing PC games using a gamepad
that do not have any form of built-in gamepad support. However,
you can use this program to control any desktop application with a gamepad;
this means that your system has to be running an X environment in order to
run this program.
This code provides a function, `i18n-man', with which you can browse
UNIX manual pages. Formatting is done in background so that you
can continue to use your Emacs while processing is going on.
The mode also supports hypertext-like following of manual page SEE
ALSO references, and other features. See below or do `?' in a
manual page buffer for details.
For working with Japanese, English and German, put your dot.emacs file
following:
(autoload 'jman "i18n-man-ja" nil t)
(autoload 'eman "i18n-man-en" nil t)
(autoload 'dman "i18n-man-de" nil t)
then
M-x jman
to get a Japanese manual page thru jman(1) and put it in a buffer.
M-x eman
to get a English manual page thru man(1) and put it in a buffer.
M-x dman
to get a German manual page thru man(1) and put it in a buffer.
If you want byte-compile with your favorite "Emacs", use "byte-comile"
script as:
# cd /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp
# /usr/local/share/doc/prom-mew/byte-compile xemacs-mule i18n-man-ja i18n-man-ja.el i18n-man.el
For usage of byte_compile scripts, run byte_compile with -h option.
