The Whim Window Manager
Author: Steve Redler IV & George Peter Staplin
Abstract
Whim is a window manager written for the X11 graphical windowing system that
has its primary logic and functionality coded in tcl/tk. It uses two newly
developed c extensions to give tcl/tk the fine control needed to properly
implement a window manager, with Whim being not just a proof of concept, but
instead a full function, comfortable and intuitive interface to X11 applications.
The technical design goals of Whim include: being deployed as a starkit, and to
optionally use the tile extension for enhanced window titlebar theming. Most
importantly, Whim enables full customization at the scripting level, eliminating
the need to work with the X11 c api directly.
