MLVWM or Macintosh-Like Virtual Window Manager, is an FVWM descendant created by Takashi Hasegawa while studying at Nagoya University and was written entirely in the C programming language. As its name implies, it attempts to emulate the pre-Mac OS X Macintosh look and feel in its layout and window design. Development of MLVWM resumed in 2020 by Morgan Aldridge.
MLVWM spawned a derivative known as HaZe, a Black-and-White (or Monochrome) window manager, although it is no longer under active development.
