Editing IRIX (section)

==4Dwm==
'''4Dwm''' is the [[window manager]] component of the [[IRIX Interactive Desktop]] normally used on [[Silicon Graphics]] workstations running IRIX. 4Dwm is derived from the older [[Motif Window Manager]] and uses the [[Motif (software)|Motif]] [[widget toolkit]] on top of the [[X Window System]] found on most [[Unix]] systems.<ref name=5dwm/><ref>[http://irix7.com/techpubs/007-2006-120.pdf IRIX Interactive Desktop Integration guide] (Silicon Graphics, 1998)</ref><ref>[http://irix7.com/techpubs/007-3951-001.pdf Motif 2.1 Porting Guide] (Silicon Graphics, 1998)</ref> 4Dwm on IRIX was one of the first default [[graphical user interface]] desktops to be standard on a Unix computer system. 4Dwm refers to "[[Four-dimensional space|Fourth dimension]] window manager" and has no relation to [[dwm]].

Other [[X window manager]]s that mimic the 4Dwm [[look and feel]] exist, such as 4Dwm theme for [[IceWM]] and [[5Dwm]]<ref name=5dwm>[http://5dwm.org/roadmap.html#5Dwm_The_Window_Manager 5Dwm, The Window Manager]</ref> which is a [[Clone (computing)|clone]]/compatible implementation of 4Dwm based on [[Motif (software)#Open Motif|OpenMotif]]. 5Dwm support both the classic [[Silicon Graphics|SGI]] look and a modern/polished look and feel with [[Font rasterization|anti-aliased fonts]] and [[UTF-8]] support.
