From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AfterStep is a stacking window manager for the X Window System. The goal of AfterStep's development is to provide for flexibility of desktop configuration, improved aesthetics and efficient use of system resources, and was used in such distributions like MachTen. AfterStep originally was a variant of FVWM modified to resemble NeXTSTEP, but as the development cycle progressed, it diverged from its FVWM roots.
AfterStep includes several modules such as:
- WinList - a simple Taskbar displaying active applications
AfterStep also supports virtual screens, and relies on a set of text-based configuration files for customizing its appearance.
AfterStep is maintained by a small community of developers with Sasha Vasko serving as project manager.
