Good windows manager, which doesn't try to resemble Windows API (it's designed to look like NextStep instead).
Kvalitní window manager, který se nesnaží podobat Windows (nýbrž NextStepu). It handles window frames, menu and dock. Dock is a special banner at the screens border which can hold application icons or special little dockapps
(see http://www.dockapps.org). Window Maker is blazing fast, modest in memory and disk usage. You may use WPrefs or WMakerConf to change its configuration. Supports dualhead and Xinerama.

Ion |

0x |
Ion is a tiling tabbed window manager designed with keyboard users in mind.
Ion was written as an experiment on a different kind of window management model. It tries to address the navigation problem by dividing the screen into mutually non-overlapping frames that take up the whole screen. Big displays have so much space that this should be convenient and smaller displays couldn't show more than one window at a time anyway. The frame layout is, of course, dynamic and different on each workspace. Given the organised tree based instead of an unorganised coordinate-based frame layout, moving between the frames can be conveniently done from the keyboard. As in PWM, the frames may have multiple clients attached, each indicated with a tab.
