2bwm

A minimal X11 floating window manager distinguished by the two borders it draws around each client and by keyboard-accessible controls. It is derived from mcwm, uses XCB, and keeps the session small by omitting a built-in panel or desktop shell; configuration is set in C source. 2bwm was derived from Michael Cardell’s mcwm and added its characteristic pair of window borders.
