Moksha is an open source window manager for Linux used primarily by Bodhi Linux. It is a fork and continuation of the Enlightenment 17 window manager.
History[edit]
Moksha was created by the Bodhi Linux developers as a continuation and improvement of the Enlightenment 17 window manager after the developers had trouble with Enlightenment 18 and 19.[1] Previous versions of Bodhi Linux had used Enlightenment 17, before skipping 18 entirely and using 19.[2] The first version of Bodhi Linux to contain Moksha was version 3.1.0[3] released on 11 August 2015.[4]
About[edit]
Moksha is a window manager designed to have most of the functionalities of a desktop environment, while being lightweight and customizable.[5] The appearance was made to resemble the classic Windows design. It consists of a window manager with customizable applets and modules.[6][7] Features offered by default include a panel with a start menu, an application switcher, system controls, a clock, and a virtual desktop feature.[8] Customization options are centered around gadgets, which consist of modules, and launchers within shelves.[9][1] Themes are also available.[10]
