Firebox WM is a software that enables efficient management of windows on your desktop. The tool provides functionalities such as resizing, minimizing, and maximizing windows, thereby enhancing productivity and assisting in multitasking.
Installation of Firebox WM is simple and straightforward. To compile this package, you need to follow a few easy steps. Firstly, navigate to the directory containing the package's source code and type './configure' to configure the package. It is important to note that if you're using 'csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type 'sh ./configure' to prevent 'csh' from trying to execute 'configure' itself. Secondly, run 'configure,' which might take a while. During this process, it will print some messages telling you which features it is checking for. After that, type 'make' to compile the package. You can then optionally run any self-tests using 'make check'. Finally, type 'make install' to install the programs, data files, and documentation. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing 'make clean.' To remove the files that 'configure' created, type 'make distclean,' allowing you to compile the package for different kinds of computers. There is a 'make maintainer-clean' target that is intended for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
One of the latest releases includes no original new features, but the focus has been given to rendering. The manager should look faster and have more 'eye candy.' In conclusion, Firebox WM is a reliable and efficient window management software that is easy to install and use. Its compliance with the ICCCM/Motif/EWMH standards makes it stand out from other window management solutions.
