Compatibility with the <CODE>mwm</CODE> window manager is desired and will be implemented where appropriate.</P> <P><B>IceWM</B> originally was designed to emulate the look of Motif, OS/2 Warp 4, OS/2 Warp 3 and Windows 95. Since it has a theming engine (hint: <A HREF="http://www.icewm.org/">http://www.icewm.org/</A>) others styles are possible.</P> <P>It also tries to combine the feel of the above systems whenever it is compatible.</P> <P>Generally, it tries to make all functions available both by keyboard and by mouse (this is not currently possible when using mouse focus).</P> <P>Extreme configurability similar to <CODE>fvwm</CODE> and many other window managers is <B>NOT</B> the goal.</P> <P>Further information can be found at <A HREF="http://www.icewm.org/">http://www.icewm.org/</A>> and <A HREF="http://icewm.sourceforge.net/">http://icewm.sourceforge.net/</A>>.</P> <HR> <A HREF="icewm-2.html">Next</A> Previous <A HREF="icewm.html#toc1">Contents</A> </BODY> </HTML>
