Afterstep
AfterStep is a window manager based on FVWM
which attempts to emulate
the NEXTSTEP look and feel, while retaining the configurability of its
predecessor. This window manager makes extensive
use of the color palette. If you have only an 8-bit color
display, it will run as packaged, but you may want to modify the
configuration to use fewer colors.
AfterStep is a continuation of the BowMan window manager
project, but
the name was changed to reflect the desire that it does more than
simply
emulate and has become a valuable window manager in its own right.
It provides end users with a consistent, clean, and elegant
desktop. AfterStep's goal is to provide for flexibility of desktop
configuration, improving aestetics, and efficient use of system
resources.
