Multi-Cursor Window Manager

Multi-Cursor Window Manager is a cool tool for Unix users. It lets multiple people use their own cursors at the same time on one computer screen. Imagine working on a group project where everyone can control their part without getting in each other's way!

How It Works

This software uses a modified x2x client, which means you can send your keyboard and mouse inputs to your personal cursor. Each cursor has its own color, making it easy to see who is doing what. You can all work together on different windows at the same time—no more waiting for someone else to finish!

Cursor Colors and Versions

You get to choose from 7 uniquely colored cursors! The current version of this multi-cursor window manager is based on IceWM 1.2.13, which is pretty neat.

How to Compile Ice Window Manager

If you're ready to set it up, here’s how you can compile Ice Window Manager:

>cd icewm
>./configure --without-imlib
>make
>make install

Don’t forget: there’s a preferences file in the icewm directory called (icewm/preferences). Move this file into the installation preferences directory because it has some default choices that are great for multi-user setups. And make sure to use the nice theme in IceWM for a better experience!

Compiling the x2x Client

If you want to compile the x2x client too, follow these steps:

>cd x2x-mp
>xmkmf
>make

This will help you get everything running smoothly! If you're curious about trying out Multi-Cursor Window Manager, check out SoftPas for more info.
