The window manager provides a nitpicker session interface. In contrast to the nitpicker server, which leaves the view layout up to the client, the window manager organizes the views on screen according to a policy provided by a window layouter. Furthermore, it equips views with window decorations as provided by a window decorator. Both layouter and decorator are independent programs.
This directory is a source-code repository containing Genode-specific services and applications. In contrast to the components that come with the 'os' repository, programs contained in 'gems' are able to leverage the functionalities provided by higher-level repositories such as 'libports', and 'qt4'. To use the 'gems' repository, make sure to also add those repositories to your build configuraion.
