In computing, the AMIga Window Manager (amiwm) is a stacking window manager for the X Window System written by Marcus Comstedt.[2]

The window manager emulates the Amiga Workbench and includes support for multiple virtual screens like the AmigaOS, but doesn't offer more functionality than standard Workbench.[3] By the words of its author, "the purpose of amiwm is to make life more pleasant for Amiga-freaks like myself who has/wants to use UNIX workstations once in a while".[4] AmiWM was not updated for years since the 1998 release, yet Linux Format magazine rated it as fast and reliable in 2007.[5] Although Marcus Comstedt included new features like support for AmigaOS 3.5 icons during internal development,[6] a new version was not released until 2010.[7]

Features

[edit]

Features of the amiwm window manager include:

  • Supports iconification of running tasks
