This is a small application (using GTK+) which lets you select your window
manager. It looks for a file named .selectwmrc in the user's directory
which contains a list of window managers.
When you start X it should show a list which lets you choose your window
manager (by double clicking on it with the mouse or with the arrow keys
and the return or space key).
Peksystray is a small system tray (also called notification tray) designed
for all lightweight window managers that support docking. As more and more
applications use a small icon in the system tray to provide some additional
functionality and information, it becomes useful for everyone to have common
access to them. While "heavy" window managers (Gnome, KDE...) come with a
system tray embedded in the rest of the desktop, lighter window managers
(Window Maker, Fluxbox ...) do not have this feature. Peksystray is a very
simple and light implementation of a system tray for any window manager
supporting docking, conforming to the System Tray freedesktop.org standard.
Peksystray provides a window where icons will automatically add up depending
on the requests from the applications. Both the size of the window and the
size of the icons can be selected by the user. If the window is full, it
can automatically display another window in order to display more icons.
Peksystray has been named after PekWM.
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:
