# Part I. Libmatewnck Overview

libmatewnck is the Window Navigator Construction Kit, a library for use in writing pagers, tasklists, and more generally applications that are dealing with window management. It tries hard to respect the Extended Window Manager Hints specification (EWMH). The Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual (ICCCM) is also a useful resource.

libmatewnck depends on the following libraries:

GTK+ | The GTK+ GUI library.
libstartupnotification | A library which allows providing visual feedback to the user that an application or operation is being launched (typically through a "busy" cursor).
