classic-wm gives you Mac OS System 6 (and earlier) style monochromatic window management, in the X window system.

1. make
2. Install Chicago bitmap font.

   • You can convert the original font to a BDF via fontforge, and should end up with a font identifying as:

     -FontForge-Chicago-Medium-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-P-78-MacRoman-0

     classic-wm will accept any font matching:

     -*-Chicago-*-*-*--12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

3. Run classic-wm as your new window manager
4. For a richer experience, you can also set your background to alternating B&W pixels using xsetroot -grey.

You can enable the single-click collapse button shown below by building with make COLLAPSE_BUTTON_ENABLED=1.

Even without the collapse button enabled, all windows will support collapsing by double clicking on any portion of the titlebar that isn't a button. Collapsing a window does not change its width, but reduces it to consume only as much space as its title bar.
