Fvwm is a very famous window manager for X, which provides a virtual/multiple disjoint desktop, a 3-D look for windows decorations, shaped/color icons. It gives a very good emulation of mwm. A nice button-bar can be used to provide convenient access to frequently used functions or programs. Jason C. Wells jcwells@u.washington.edu

euclid-wm is a minimalist, tiling window manager for X11 that seeks to allow easy management of numerous windows entirely from the keyboard. euclid seeks to do two things in particular: - balance the ease of use common among window managers with automatic or fixed layouts with the flexibility of those dynamic layouts, - create an easy way to manage minimized windows

Tilda is a x11 terminal taking after the likeness of many classic terminals from first person shooter games, Quake, Doom and Half-Life to name a few, where the terminal has no border and is hidden from the desktop till a key or keys is hit.

Thinglaunch is a very fast launcher program for X. You can bind it to a key in your favorite window manager, and when you want to start a program, just type its name. thinglaunch has a tiny footprint and depends only on Xlib.

This is a program to help manage many of the XKB features of X window. This includes such features as MouseKeys, AccessX, StickyKeys, BounceKeys, and SlowKeys. It also includes a perl/tk gui program to help with MouseKeys acceleration management. Stephen Montgomery-Smith stephen@math.missouri.edu

The bgs program allows you to tailor the appearance of the background ("root") window on a workstation display running X. bgs uses imlib2 for image rendering and rotates the images automatically. It is made for dynamic Xinerama/Xrandr setups such as used with notebooks, but it works very fine in any setup.

PLplot is a library of C functions that are useful for making scientific plots from a program written in C, C++, or Fortran. The PLplot library can be used to create standard x-y plots, semilog plots, log-log plots, contour plots, 3D plots, mesh plots, bar charts and pie charts. Multiple graphs (of the same or different sizes) may be placed on a single page with multiple lines in each graph. Different line styles, widths and colors are supported. A virtually infinite number of distinct area fill patterns may be used. There are almost 1000 characters in the extended character set. This includes four different fonts, the Greek alphabet and a host of mathematical, musical, and other symbols. The fonts can be scaled to any desired size. A variety of output devices are supported and new devices can be easily added by writing a small number of device dependent routines.

Seyon is a complete full-featured telecommunications package for the X Window System. Its features include: - Dialing directory that supports an unlimited number of entries. - Terminal emulation window using any terminal emulation program that supports X. This defaults to xterm. - Script language to automate tedious tasks such as logging into remote hosts. - Unlimited number of slots for external file transfer protocols. - Support for zmodem auto-download. - Translation modes. Seyon can perform useful translations on the user's input. - Interactive setting of program parameters. - On-line help. - Modem speeds up to 115200 bps. - Software (XON/XOFF) and hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control. - Session capture to a file. - Temporary running of a local shell in the terminal emulation window. Seyon is intended to be both simple and extensively configurable. Almost every aspect of Seyon can be configured via the resources to suit the user's taste.

From the README: calctool - README - November 1989. This is V2.4 of a simple desktop calculator. This version works under X11, XView and dumb tty terminals. It is almost visually identical to V2.1 which was released in August 1988, but internally most of the code has been reworked to include a level of graphics abstraction, to make porting this code to other window systems a trivial task. V2.4 includes display in scientific notation, color icons, a correct factorial function and fixes for a few minor bugs. It introduces the new versions for XView, X11, MGR and dumb terminals. New functions include hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic trigonometrical functions, register exchange, constants and the input of numbers in exponential notation. You can also have a .calctoolrc file in your home directory, which can define upto ten new values for constants, and ten function definitions which are used in conjunction with the FUN key.

This is a port of xless (version 1.7), a handy text file viewer for X. Useful as a viewer tool for other apps (e.g., xfm, the X file manager), or as a standalone viewer. Presents a scrollable text window (both vertical and horizontal scrolling), with a number of clickable buttons. From the README file: FEATURES: Display either the file(s) specified on the command line or input from standard input, supplied by a pipe. File/pipe may be optionally monitored so that the display is continuously updated as new text is added. Display new files in the current window or by creating a new window. Reload or print the displayed file. Search the displayed file using either exact, case-insensitive, or regular expression patterns. Edit the displayed file with your favorite editor (as specified in the VISUAL or EDITOR environment variable)
