Question about the history of twm
I always thought twm stood not for "Tom's Window Manager" or "Tab Window Manager", but "Teal Window Manager" (the default color scheme being teal). However, I can't find any evidence on Google of twm ever standing for "Teal Window Manager".
A long time ago I asked this question on Reddit, and they suggested this was an example of "the Mandela effect." But now that I am on LQ, I want to see what people here have to say. Has anyone on LQ ever heard of twm standing for "Teal Window Manager"? |
Well did you look it up?
Because yes, there is no evidence of a teal window manager. Mandela effect, or the same as a friend who overhead someone singing the Culture Club song, "I'll Tumble For You", and shamefully admitting that they had it incorrect and the whole time they thought the refrain was, incorrectly: I'll tell my lawyer. We sort of had an awkward laugh at it, shook our heads and claimed he was the first who the alcohol affected that night. Sorry, facetious I know, but you were wrong, please check the wiki. |
Well, I have thought it were Trivial Window Manager, but Wikipedia says it is Tom's Window Manager.

PS: that SUN version mentioned was before Solaris too.... |
It originally was called Tom but it was renamed to Tab.

I've only know it as the Tab Window Manager, (since 1999).
