Toy'd

Toy’d is an advanced next-generation Window Manager built on top of Aoof-Wm, an Advanced Object Oriented Framework designed specifically for the development of portable Window Management systems.

Features

  • Evaluate different environments without changing interfaces: switch operating systems and keep the same interface, the same window manager, the same unique configuration.
  • Customize environments by choosing among a lot of different themes. Design your own easily.
  • Intuitive next generation no-click user interface. No more dashed movements as moving, pointing, multiclicking, controls use smooth peaceful gestures.

The philosophy of the project is a high level of self configuration with no restrictions at all, you can add features with the plugin manager. Don’t be restrained to enable or disable a feature, make it yourself, and then fill any lack you may encounter.

Metacity

Metacity is a window manager for GNOME. It uses GTK+ 2 for drawing window frames, meaning that it inherits colors, fonts, etc.

sawfish

Sawfish (the window manager formerly known as Sawmill) is an extensible window-manager using a Lisp-based extension language. All window decorations are configurable and all user-interface policy is controlled through the language.

Its aim is to manage windows in the most flexible and attractive manner possible. As such it does not implement desktop backgrounds, application docks, or other things that may be achieved through separate applications. Sawfish is mostly GNOME-compliant; almost all configuration may be made through a graphical interface.

FVWM

FVWM is a multiple large virtual desktop window manager with very modest resource consumption but highly configurable. Once configured it will suit working habits like no other window manager.

It conforms to virtually all modern desktop specifications, supports transparency and antialiasing in every component. The backgrounds can be set on a per-desktop or per-screen basis with one of the many included modules.

ratpoison

ratpoison is a simple window manager with no large library dependencies, no fancy graphics, no window decorations, and no rodent dependence.

It is largely modeled after GNU Screen, which has done wonders in the virtual terminal market. All interaction with the window manager is done through keystrokes (the word rat refers to the mouse, which is not needed when using ratpoison).
