and works somewhat like Microsoft Windows. Just like Microsoft Windows,
the menu opens with a click on a menu bar at the bottom left corner of the
display.
Figure 2: IceWM
Windows With IceWM you can ’drag-and-drop’ windows like the desktop
environment of Microsoft Windows. Place the cursor on the menu bar at the
top of the window, then click the left mouse button and hold it down while
you move the window to a new position. The window size can be changed by
clicking on any side of the window and drawing it in or outward.
IceWM windows have the same three buttons that Microsoft windows have
on the right side of the top menu bar. Also here, the outer right button closes
the window, the button in the middle maximizes it, and the left button of these
three minimizes the window. On the left side of the IceWM top menu bar there
is another button. Clicking on this one gives you a menu of things you can do
with the window. You can bring up the same list with a rightclick on any
empty space in the top bar. To close an IceWM window, you doubleclick on
the button at the left of the top menu bar.
IceWM offers several functions that Windows does not have. Unlike in
Microsoft Windows, it is possible to roll the window up so that only the top
menu bar remains visible, and the window’s position can be adjusted with
respect to other open windows on the desktop. With IceWM a window can
also be moved to another desktop. You can do that with the command Move
to in the window menu (left button on the top bar).
You can get a list of open windows by clicking on the background with the
middle button of the mouse. The list differentiates between the desktops you
are currently using.
