NEdit

NEdit is a Unix text editor for programmers and general users. It combines a standard, easy-to-use, graphical user interface with the thorough functionality and stability required by users who edit text eight hours a day. It includes a macro language with a complete library of editing functions ... [More] , state-of-the-art syntax highlighting for 30 common languages and text processors, and the best mouse-interactivity available in a Unix text editor. [Less]

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is a background browser and setter for X windows. It is written in C++ using the gtkmm toolkit. It can currently be used in two modes: browser and recall. It is multihead and Xinerama aware.

Razor-qt

Razor-qt is an advanced, easy-to-use, and fast desktop environment based on Qt technologies. It has been tailored for users who value simplicity, speed, and an intuitive interface. Unlike most desktop environments, Razor-qt also works fine with weak machines.

wmiirc-lua

Wmiirc-lua is a replacement of the wmiirc that comes with wmii-3.5 (and later) with a lua script. This removes the fork/exec overhead of the shell script that is used to control the wmii window manager. The long term goal of the project is to duplicate features from the wmii+ruby project.

MATE (desktop environment)

MATE is a desktop environment forked from the now-unmaintained code base of GNOME 2.

Window Maker

Window Maker is an X11 window manager originally designed to provide integration support for the GNUstep Desktop Environment. In every way possible, it reproduces the elegant look and feel of the NEXTSTEP user interface. It is fast, feature rich, easy to configure, and easy to use. It is also free ... [More] software, with contributions being made by programmers from around the world. Window Maker includes compatibility options which allow it to work with other popular desktop environments, namely GNOME and KDE [Less]

notion

Notion is a tiling, tabbed window manager for the X window system: * Tiling: you divide the screen into non-overlapping 'tiles'. Every window occupies one tile, and is maximized to it * Tabbing: a tile may contain multiple windows - they will be 'tabbed' * Static: ... [More] most tiled window managers are 'dynamic', meaning they automatically resize and move around tiles as windows appear and disappear. Notion, by contrast, does not automatically change the tiling. You're in control. Features include: * Workspaces: each workspace has its own tiling * Multihead: the mod_xinerama plugin provides very nice dual-monitor support * RandR: mod_xrandr expands on mod_xinerama and picks up changes in the randr configuration without the need for restarting Notion [Less]

QuickTile

A simple tool for adding WinSplit-style window-tiling keybindings to X11 (Linux/BSD/etc.) desktops without replacing the existing window manager.

xpyb

X Python Bindings. Python bindings to libxcb.

Unagi Compositing Manager

Unagi is a modular compositing manager which aims to be efficient, lightweight and responsive. It is currently written in C programming language and based on XCB library client library. Any existing window manager can be used as long as it implements properly EWMH and ICCCM specifications (or at ... [More] least parts of it which are needed), which is generally the case nowadays. This project also aims to provide a functional and stable software to improve window manager usability from an end-user point of view (for instance windows translucency, application-switcher using live thumbnails instead of plain icons, Exposé...), therefore it does not intend at all to provide useless eye-candy effects.
