This is Tk version 8.5, a GUI toolkit for Tcl. Tk is a graphical user interface toolkit that takes developing desktop applications to a higher level than conventional approaches. Tk is the standard GUI not only for Tcl, but for many other dynamic languages, and can produce rich, native applications that run unchanged across Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and more. A full set of manual pages is also provided with this port.

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.

from the source: 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. Trevor Johnson

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.
