Back to search · Project homepage

Description

Window Maker is an X11 window manager designed to give additional integration support for GNUstep applications. It tries to emulate the elegant look and feel of the NEXTSTEP(tm) GUI. It is relatively fast, feature rich, and easy to configure and use. Each user must run wmaker.inst before running Window Maker. The i18n flavor enables locale support and installs locale files. To select a particular locale at runtime you must set the LANG environment variable to the locale you want. If your language uses multi-byte characters, such as Japanese or Korean, you must set the MultiByteText option to YES in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMGLOBAL
