Hummingbird Window Manager: Lightweight X Window System Manager
A fast and resource-efficient window manager for the X Window System, designed to provide a simple and functional interface
What is Hummingbird Window Manager?
Hummingbird Window Manager (HWM) is a lightweight, minimalistic window manager for the X Window System. It is written in the C programming language and aims to be fast, small, and easily understandable.
Some key features of HWM include:
- Tiling window management - Windows are automatically arranged to fill the screen without overlapping
- Keyboard-driven control - The mouse is not required to control windows and the interface
- Low system resource usage - HWM is designed to have minimal impact on system performance
- Plain text configuration - The window manager is configured by editing simple text files
- Good Xinerama support - HWM works nicely with multi-monitor setups
Despite lacking some advanced decorations and effects provided by larger window managers, HWM excels at providing a simple, efficient, and programmable graphical environment for those who value performance and customizability over features. Its configurable text-based approach harkens back to the early days of Linux and Unix while providing a viable modern alternative to heavier desktops.
