Found a “fun” page on incise.org named “not so tiny window managers” the other day about window manager sizes and got the inspiration to do a incomplete follow up.
The following “measurements” have been done on NetBSD 5.0 AMD64 (GCC 4.1.3) and SLOC has been measured with SLOCCount version 2.26. Binary sizes are sizes after stripping with –strip-unneeded.
| name | version | size | SLOC | language |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| fluxbox | 1.11 | 1443464b | 38177 | C++ |
| metacity | 2.27.0 | - | 56448 | C |
| openbox | 3.4.7.2 | 309232b | 30651 | C |
| pekwm | 0.1.11 (GIT) | 817120b | 23562 | C++ |
The number of lines of code and binary size does not represent how fast, how many features or how much memory the window manager uses at runtime.
