Window Maker 0.90.0 Released At Long Last

Posted by timothy on from the clean-and-functional dept.

BEI01 writes "From windowmaker.org: After years without a release, we are glad to announce that Window Maker 0.90.0 is out! Highlights are NetWM support (thanks to Peter). This means wmaker should work fine with GNOME 2.x and KDE 3.x. UTF-8 support, antialiased text support via Xft2, Xinerama support, enhanced Alt-Tab window switching, Font configuration in WPrefs, and many fixes."

    Visiting windowmaker.org is like visiting xemacs.org or xfree86.org. Nothing happens at all!

    "Anyone know of a comparison between GNUstep, WindowMaker, and AfterStep?" You asked for a comparison he gave you one: GNUStep and WindowMaker are totally different things.

    Agreed. Pretty much the first thing I do in any environment is get it looking as close to NeXTStep as possible. The environment Just Works much better than pretty much anything else out there. I use KDE right now almost entirely because of juk, but my desktop is much more nextish than anything else.
