Looks like AfterStep, Windowmaker, and those others from the 90s.

I was using FVWM95 at the time, btw.

The first commit was in March 2019 so it's a new project. A bit late to the game in Wayland days, might one say.

Very retro! :)

Using modern libraries, with an old fashioned look, on top of FVWM, which itself is an old fshioned WM.

Based on FVWM which makes it window manager , no?


Kinda curious myself on how resource hungry this <by builder called > DE is.

The file there about how to capitalize NEXTSTEP is one of the most bizarre and confusing things I've ever seen, and I've read the entirety of Time Cube.

Brings back memories of my HP-UX days.

The original CDE seems to list Slackware as an officially supported platform.

Also, motif supports utf8 nowadays.
