Treewm

Window manager that arranges windows in a tree

treewm is a window manager that tries to implement a new concept. In addition to the client windows the user can create desktops which can themselves contain windows and desktops. By arranging the windows in such a tree the user is able to manage his tasks efficiently treewm is feature-rich, flexible and provides a powerful concept. However, treewm’s look is is rather puristic, and its feel is not always intuitive, but with a bit of practise it should be very effective to use.

• Can be fully customized using the configuration file
• Has a very powerful somewhat vi-like command mode, and can be controlled from shell scripts via a FIFO
• Icons can be placed on desktops that can execute arbitrary commands
