IceWM is a fast, simple and light X11 window manager. It has been developed from scratch since 1997 by Marko Maček in C++. By default, IceWM provides you with a taskbar and several tools, which allow your desktop to be as fast as possible.

Installation

IceWM can be installed from most package managers.

On Debian and Debian-based distributions:

$ sudo apt install icewm

On Arch and Arch-based distributions:

$ sudo pacman -S icewm

On Gentoo and Gentoo-based distributions:

$ sudo emerge -av x11-wm/icewm

On RHEL, Fedora and Fedora-based distributions:

$ sudo dnf install icewm

If none of these work or the version is outdated, you may try to install it manually (3.5.1) by running:[1]

$ wget https://github.com/ice-wm/icewm/releases/download/3.5.1/icewm-3.5.1.tar.lz
$ tar -x --lzip -vpf icewm-3.5.1.tar.lz
$ cd icewm-3.5.1
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ sudo make install
