Qvwm
An X11 stacking manager that recreates Windows 95-era desktop conventions, including a taskbar, start menu, system tray and familiar window controls. Its text configuration customises menus, appearance and key bindings, providing a retro desktop without requiring a separate full desktop environment. Qvwm’s name derives from the “95 Window Manager” concept and its Windows 95-style desktop goal.
