OVERVIEW

This a set of configuration files for Takashi HASEGAWA's Macintosh-like Virtual Window Manager (MLVWM) with the following goals:

  • More accurate emulation of System 7 and MacOS 8 User Interfaces
  • A complete configuration out-of-the-box
  • Well structured configuration files

MLVWM includes a very rudimentary set of rc (run command) files and requires a fair amount of customization to better emulate Macintosh operating systems' UI. Additionally, since it is generally no more than a hobbyist window manager, no appropriate structure for the rc files (esp. for individual applications), icons (i.e. pixmaps), etc. Last, but not least, I wanted to reduce the amount of configuration needed every time I configure MLVWM on a new workstation.
