Macintosh-Like Virtual Window Manager

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MLVWM or Macintosh-Like Virtual Window Manager, is an FVWM descendant created by Takashi Hasegawa in 1997 while studying at Nagoya University and was written entirely in the C programming language. As its name implies, it attempts to emulate the pre-Mac OS X Macintosh look and feel in its layout and window design. Development of MLVWM resumed in 2020 by Morgan Aldridge[1].

MLVWM spawned a derivative known as HaZe[2], a Black-and-White (or Monochrome) window manager, although it is no longer under active development.

MLVWM is distributed as freeware[3] with some files licensed as MIT License and Public domain.
