Stacking window manager that resembles the Amiga Workbench user interface.

This is a partial selection of window managers available in Gentoo. Windows managers can integrate a compositor, for buffering graphics before showing them, allowing visual effects, anti-flicker and other facilities. Dynamic window managers can dynamically switch between the other two paradigms.Tiling window managers represent windows as tiles, or split views, with windows displayed next to one another, but with none of the windows overlapping.Stacking (or floating) window managers have windows analogous to pieces of paper on a physical desktop, which can be stacked each on top of the others, with the one with which the user interacts on top of the stack, and totally visible.Windows managers can generally be dynamic, stacking, or tiling in their behavior.
