IceWM - Introduction

IceWM is very lightweight window manager and it looks very retro. However, it is highly customisable and you can make it look really nice. With a few tricks it also can be fully functional.

First you have to installing base things (which I wrote in previous post). Then you have to know something about IceWM. You can read about it here and here. To cut the long story short, he reads all configuration files from ~/.icewm (hidden - that's why the dot is in front of the name) directory in your home (represented by "~") folder. Those files contain the appearance of the IceWM, its menu, behavior, keyboard shortcuts and start applications or commands on startup.

I will write several posts about configuring those things in IceWM.

Here are some of my screenshots of IceWM:
