Orion window manager
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Orion is a window manager for the X11 windowing system. Orion is
|
|
written in Scheme and accesses Xlib via the scx library for scsh.
|
|
Orion is in fact a family of window managers that can be nested. This
|
|
enables great flexibility and efficient handling of X11
|
|
applications. Orion currently comes with four child window managers:
|
|
|
|
- a conventional moving window manager
|
|
- a window manager for stacking windows in a frame
|
|
- a window manager for splitting windows horizontally and vertically
|
|
- a work space manager
|
|
|
|
Orion also supports saving the window manager layout and programmatic
|
|
configuration.
