DWM is often compared to Compiz Fusion, which performs a similar function. While Compiz requires less resources, DWM is smoother, more stable, and has better scaling capability. I think if Microsoft were to provide an API for DWM, the windows community could create their own fancy eye-candy effects ;) I make good use of both the enhanced Alt+Tab and the new Win+Tab functionality DWM provides, given as I am averse to having to switch windows with mouse and taskbar. 16519538 2007-04-22T12:22:39Z 171 2019-08-28T01:44:23Z Desktop Window Manager 14584 2009-10-09T21:41:05Z http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969540.aspx http://wakoopa.com/software/desktop-window-manager http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/142/774/normal.png?1252512209 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/142/774/thumb.png?1252512209 13908 Microsoft Corporation http://wakoopa.com/developers/microsoft-corporation Tools that help you manage your system 12 System tools http://wakoopa.com/categories/utilities/system-tools win Desktop Window Manager (DWM, previously Desktop Compositing Engine or DCE) is a compositing window manager, introduced with Windows Vista, that enables the Windows Aero graphical user interface and visual theme.
