Macintosh-Like Virtual Window Manager

MLVWM or Macintosh-Like Virtual Window Manager, is an FVWM descendant created by Takashi Hasegawa 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 stalled some time around 2000 but was resumed in 2020 by Morgan Aldridge.[3]

MLVWM spawned a derivative known as HaZe,[4] a Black-and-White (or Monochrome) window manager, although it is no longer under active development.

MLVWM is distributed as freeware[5] with some files licensed as MIT License and Public domain.

Features

edit

MLVWM runs on top of X11 and provides a classic Macintosh-style menubar[6] which can emulate either System 7 or Mac OS 8, though it does not support tray icons.[7] MLVWM also provides window decorations that fit both of the two styles.
