What is IceWM?

IceWM is a window manager tailored for the X Window System, focusing on speed, ease of use, and minimal interference. It comes equipped with a taskbar that includes a pager, offers both global and window-specific keybindings, and utilizes a dynamic menu system to streamline navigation. Users can control application windows using either the keyboard or mouse, enabling actions like minimizing to the taskbar, tray, desktop, or complete hiding. Swift switching between windows is made possible with the Alt+Tab shortcut and a visible window list. There is a selection of customizable focus models available from menus, which enhances user control over their desktop environment. Moreover, IceWM adeptly supports multi-monitor setups via RandR and Xinerama functionality. Its extensive configurability, diverse theming options, and thorough documentation contribute to its attractiveness for users seeking a personalized experience. The manager also features an optional external wallpaper manager that allows for transparency effects, a user-friendly session manager, and a system tray to increase functionality. Additionally, the robust features of IceWM empower users to customize their desktop experience extensively to align with their specific preferences and workflows. Ultimately, IceWM stands out as a versatile choice for those wanting a lightweight yet powerful window management solution.
