AfterStep

From Free net encyclopedia

Template:Infobox Software In Unix computing, AfterStep is a window manager for the X Window System. AfterStep originally was a variant of FVWM modified to resemble NeXTSTEP, but as developers (who included Alfredo Kojima and Guylhem Aznar), this window manager further diverged from its FVWM roots.

It currently includes several modules including a pager, WinList (which helps to manage windowed applications), and a docking feature called the Wharf (which manages applets). AfterStep also supports virtual screens, and relies on a set of text-based configuration files for customizing its appearance.
