This window manager is yet another descendant of aewm. It has title bars,
shading, a widget for resizing, automatic placement of windows (with the upper
left corner at the current position of the mouse) as they open, and a list (by
title) from which windows may be chosen for raising or un-iconizing. Some
features are implemented in applets, not all of which work in this port.
from the home page:
It is somewhat ICCCM compliant (it knows what a transient window is,
and catches client messages and knows the MIT-SHAPE). It does not try
to look like any other known OS (though, some people tell me it looks
like Mac OS, others say Amiga.) So, if you want a window manager that
is sanely usable within the smallest constraints (and without you
thinking you have an inept piece of software), then this is for you.
from the README:
As its name implies, alloywm is a quite exquisite, aesthetic little
window manager for X11. The premise of this window manager is not to
be over-bloated [...] to keep the interface out of a user's way [...]
It is not very configurable [...]
[...] you cannot click inside the window to give focus [...]
