Retro Window Manager FVWM-95: A Windows-Style Interface for Unix

FVWM-95 is a window manager project based on fvwm2, designed to provide Unix system users with a Windows 95-like interface experience. By mimicking the classic appearance and functionality of Windows, this project helps users migrating from Windows to Unix maintain a familiar operating environment. FVWM-95 offers flexible configuration options, supports feature extension through loadable modules, and provides practical components like a taskbar. The project has also developed a C++ class library that offers Win95-style controls, making it easier to develop new applications. As an open-source project, FVWM-95’s main code is hosted on SourceForge, with a dedicated mailing list for user communication. Although the project has existed for many years and is no longer active, it represents an interesting attempt in the history of operating system interfaces, demonstrating the cross-pollination and fusion of interface styles between different operating systems.
