InUnixcomputing,CTWM (Claude's Tab Window Manager) is astacking window manager for theX Window System in thetwm family of window managers. CTWM was created in 1992 by Claude Lecommandeur ofEPFL from the source code fortwm, which he extended to allow forvirtual desktops ("workspaces" in CTWM's terminology),[5] an innovative feature at the time for a window manager; his inspiration wasvuewm, an early Unixdesktop environment.[6] Later additions and modifications have since changed the original twm codebase significantly,[7] providing for a highly customizable user interface.
