It is made to be fast and lightweight, while still looking nice and easy to use. The current version, 4.12, is [[Modularity (programming)|modular]] and [[reusability|reusable]]. It is based on the [[GTK+]] 2 toolkit (formerly used in [[GNOME]]). It uses the Xfwm [[window manager]], described below. Its configuration is entirely mouse-driven, and the configuration files are hidden from the casual user. == History == [[Olivier Fourdan]] started the project in 199
