FVWM95 is a window manager for the X Window System based on the popular FVWM 2 window manager. It is similar to the original FVWM, but is designed to closely resemble the look of Windows 95.
FVWM95 was for a while a rather popular window manager; for example, Red Hat Linux 5.0 used it as the default. It is no longer as popular, nor is it well-maintained or included in modern Linux distributions. FVWM98 is a derivative of FVWM95 that is designed to look like Windows 98 instead of Windows 95.
FVWM95 was included in Debian since 2000[1] but was removed in 2006 because of incompatibility with the UTF-8 character encoding system.[2]
Similar window managers include Qvwm, IceWM and JWM.
Features
- Windows 95-like appearance.
- Taskbar for quick window switching.
- Virtual desktop support.
- Most features from FVWM 2 (may not include absolute latest bleeding-edge capabilities).
