The release of the lightweight window manager IceWM 2.8 is now available. IceWM offers full management via keyboard shortcuts, the ability to use virtual desktops, task panels, and application menus. The window manager is configured through a simple configuration file, and theme support is available. Built-in applets for monitoring CPU, memory, and traffic are included. Several third-party GUIs for configuration, desktop implementations, and menu editors are being developed separately. The code is written in C++ and is distributed under the GPLv2 license.
The new release has improved performance and scalability of the window list menu. Support for grouping windows of the same applications together has been added. The icesh utility has enhanced filtering by the WM_CLASS property and added "+group" and "+Class" options. Efficiency with desktop wallpapers has been increased, ensuring the original image is removed to reduce memory consumption.
