MLVWM or Macintosh-Like Virtual Window Manager, is an FVWM descendant created by Takashi Hasegawa while studying at Nagoya University and was written entirely in the C programming language. As its name implies, it attempts to emulate the pre-Mac OS X Macintosh look and feel in its layout and window design. Development of MLVWM stalled some time around 2000 but was resumed in 2020 by Morgan Aldridge.

MLVWM spawned a derivative known as HaZe, a Black-and-White (or Monochrome) window manager, although it is no longer under active development.

MLVWM is distributed as freeware with some files licensed as MIT License and Public domain.

Features

MLVWM runs on top of X11 and provides a classic Macintosh-style menubar which can emulate either System 7 or Mac OS 8, though it does not support tray icons. MLVWM also provides window decorations that fit both of the two styles.
