Danse Macabre Window Manager
project homepage
Welcome on a homepage of our project. Danse Macabre is meant to be a cross platform window manager. So far we are maintaining linux and windows versions. For quick vision of the manager you can look at screenshots and watch a video
The idea...
is to blur the line between window manager and a 3d game-like environment, with possibility of even making a skin which IS a game. The default skin of DMWM is an example of desktop being a living thing. It consists of an island and dynamic sky which behaves adequately to the sky in user's location (time zone), including a real starmap with the possibility to highlight constellations.
The second, a bit more important function of Danse Macabre is to provide a lot bigger functionality than the 2 dimensional desktop provides.
The story
DMWM was started on January 2007, as a team project in our department. After reaching some level of functionality we had to break it to pass exams and stay in real for some time. Recently we decided the time is right to revive DMWM, and armed with new ideas started from rebuilding this and that.
