etcicewm

etcicewm is a lightweight window manager for the X Window System, designed to be simple, fast, and easy to use. It is a fork of the IceWM project, which itself was a fork of the Blackbox window manager. etcicewm aims to provide a minimalistic and efficient environment for users who prefer a straightforward and uncluttered desktop experience.

The window manager is highly configurable, allowing users to customize almost every aspect of its behavior through plain text configuration files. This includes settings for window decorations, themes, keybindings, and more. The configuration files are typically located in the user's home directory, making it easy for users to modify them without needing administrative privileges.

etcicewm supports various desktop environments and can be used as a standalone window manager or integrated into more complex desktop environments like Xfce or Openbox. It is known for its low resource usage, making it suitable for older hardware or systems with limited resources.

The window manager includes a set of default themes and icons, but users can easily switch to their preferred themes and icons to personalize their desktop environment. It also supports network transparency, allowing windows to be dragged across multiple monitors if supported by the hardware.

etcicewm is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), making it free software that can be freely used, modified, and distributed. It is available for most Linux distributions and can be installed through the distribution's package manager or compiled from source. The project is maintained by a community of developers who contribute to its development and improvement.
