KWin

KWin is a window manager for the X Window System and is currently in the process of becoming a Wayland compositor. It is released as part of KDE Plasma 5 for which it is the default window manager. KWin can also be used on its own or with other desktop environments.

KWin 5.x depends on KDE Frameworks 5. KWin 4.x depended on KDE Platform 4, which was a monolithic library. KWin 3.x and earlier depended on KDELibs.

KWin can be configured by scripting using QML or QtScript, both of which are based on ECMAScript.

History

KTUR (later KCEY), signed on in 1949. In 1977, when an FM station was added, a new building went up. K-MIX 98 was automated adult contemporary with DJs recording their shows to give the impression of live broadcasts.

In 1995, KMIX-FM became KWNN, simulcasting Rhythmic CHR KWIN.

In late 2010, KWIN and KWNN, switch format from Rhythmic CHR to Mainstream Urban.
