olwm

olwm (OPEN LOOK Window Manager) was the default stacking window manager for OpenWindows, the original desktop environment included with SunOS and Solaris. Its unique characteristic is its implementation of the OPEN LOOK look and feel.

A modified version of olwm, called olvwm (the OPEN LOOK Virtual Window Manager) was developed by Scott Oaks, implementing a virtual window larger than the actual physical screen.^[1]
