For those who use X, text terminals, AND a mouse at the same time
by bmg300 - Jan 5th 2006 01:18:42
Pros:
IceWM supports everything I want as far as window management. Nothing
more, nothing less. The toolbar includes network monitor and CPU monitor.
The low memory useage is a plus.
Windows can be made fullscreen and they can be moved to virtual desktops.
There are 7 levels of topmost states!
Cons:
I only recommend this WM if you use the console alot because IceWM lacks
desktop icons as well as a 'good' programs menu. The most useful feature is
the toolbar buttons.
Other thoughts:
Put firefox, terminal and a few other programs on the toolbar and that's
all you'll ever need. My programs menu is empty.

I am not aware of /any/ window manager that provides desktop icons. If you
are thinking of GNOME and KDE--the desktop icons on those environments are
provided by separate programs (Nautilus and kdesktop, respectively).
You can even use IceWM with GNOME and KDE if you want--see
www.google.com/linux for more information.

bug in command line?
by jaromrax - Jun 9th 2005 04:49:07
Hi,
im using :0 and VNC managed wins by iceWM. I just cannt avoid loading the
same preferences via icewm -n or icewm -c pref_file. I avoid it in
.vnc/xstartup by copying preferences there and back.
Anyway, nice mng.
bye

iceWM is Linux as I love it
by Thule - Oct 17th 2002 16:35:44
IceWM is a great learning environment.
Crashproof, foolprof, proofproof.
It doesn't take long to learn how to customize it.
It's alle very straightforward.
One thing I need added is doc on issuing arguments to commands for
features a step more advanced than merely starting a program
As example the arguments to refresh icewm (placed in an icon) &
start certain programs by default on icewm start incl adding desktop
shortcuts.
Once you are out of the KDE and Gnome environments, you will appreciate
how easy it is to get variation in the looks by changing window managers
and themes.
I foresee a program that acts like a calender, changing the theme each day
for you.

Everything you need and nothing more
by Chris Siegler - May 19th 2002 16:43:02
No matter how many WM I try out I keep coming back to this one. My
favorite feature is the toolbar (aka panel). It has a clock, biff, xload,
and network monitor, which I prefer over the gnome applet equivalents.
Requires almost no configuration after installation. And it uses hardly any
memory!

Excellent, the basis for all WM's
by Sean Rima - Jan 20th 2002 18:16:08
Icewm should be the basis for all modern Window managers, it leaves the
rest in it's wake. Keep up the good work.

Wow!
by Joseph Engo - Jan 14th 2000 23:46:23
I just installed it about 10 minutes ago. I can't figure out how I made by
without it! It very fast! I used gnome for about 2 months. It was WAY to
slow. So, I switched to KDE. It was better, but, NOT like this.
I _HIGHLY_ recommend it to any serious Linux users or power users.

The best window manager I've tried
by RamPanT - Aug 12th 1999 03:30:22
After trying out many of the other window manager's the ICE window manager
was the easiest to figure out and setup. The size allows it to have high
speeds which is useful to me on my old 486 computer. This is the best
choice if you're looking for something on a slower system or for a beginner
or even if you don't like bulky window managers. The newer versions have
good features and the larger tarball of themes makes it interesting to use.
I used this, then tried others then I came back to this. Give it a try.
You'll be suprised!

Nice Ice Baby!
by blankreg - May 16th 1999 03:15:37
If you like KDE or Gnome but dont like bloat and slow performace then ICE
is the way to go. It's small, fast and easy to configure even for a newbie.
It looks good and feels great! It is my premier X desktop.
