Description

IceWM serves as a window manager designed for the X Window System, prioritizing speed, user-friendliness, and unobtrusiveness. It features a taskbar integrated with a pager, offers global and specific keybindings for each window, and employs a dynamic menu system for efficient navigation. Users can manage application windows using both keyboard and mouse inputs, allowing for various actions such as minimizing to the taskbar, tray, or desktop, or even hiding them entirely. Quick window switching is facilitated through the Alt+Tab shortcut and the window list. A variety of customizable focus models can be selected from menus, enhancing user control. Additionally, IceWM efficiently accommodates setups with multiple monitors through RandR and Xinerama support. Its high level of configurability, theming options, and comprehensive documentation make it appealing for users. The manager also includes an optional external wallpaper manager that supports transparency, along with a straightforward session manager and a system tray for added functionality. Furthermore, the robust capabilities of IceWM allow users to tailor their desktop experience to suit individual preferences.

Description

Configuration is fully managed at runtime through the herbstclient tool, meaning that the configuration file essentially acts as a startup script. Users can make changes to configuration settings, window rules, virtual desktops, and keybindings in real time, eliminating the necessity to restart the window manager. Each virtual desktop, referred to as a tag, comprises both a tiling layer and a floating layer, where windows in the tiling layer occupy the entire screen space while floating windows can be positioned freely on top. Furthermore, all monitors utilize the same collection of tags, enabling users to swap the content of two monitors with just a single keystroke. This seamless interaction enhances the overall user experience by allowing for quick adjustments and multitasking capabilities.
