puma.snyder Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Just visited http://5dwm.org/ and was really supprised, after a long time finally a beta of the Indigo Magic Desktop for Linux is available. From the IMD websiteIMD for Linux is going much further that those *Themes that simulates IRIX look and feel. IMD for Linux is the IRIX Interactive Desktop rebuilt from scratch on Linux using today's technologies and SGI's Desktop as guideline. IMD for Linux has it own window manager that looks, behaves and provides the same features found on an IRIX box. Motif has been revised and optimized to give a true SGI Motif look and feel. New Motif Widget specific to SGI (a.k.a Sgm) will be provides for source code compatibility between the two environments. Yes, IRIX based applications could be ported to Linux with very little changes. IMD for Linux offers a similar Interactive Desktop Environment where applications like toolchest, iconcatalog, fm and many others made SGI's Desktop Technology so famous. Lets see how it works with houdini. Achim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
