sowm

A tiny X11 floating window manager with a compact C configuration header and a deliberately small set of built-in behaviours. Users can add their own key handling and startup tools, making it a minimal base for custom sessions rather than a ready-made desktop environment. The project README cites TinyWM as an inspiration for sowm’s small implementation and minimal X11 window-management scope.
