Description
    AfterStep is a window manager for the Unix X Window System. Originally based on the look and feel of the NeXTStep interface, it provides end users with a consistent, clean, and elegant desktop. The goal of AfterStep development is to provide for flexibility of desktop configuration, improving aestetics, and efficient use of system resources.

    Some of the distinguishing features of AfterStep compared to other window managers are its low usage of resources, stability and configurability.

    Please have a look at the news page to learn more about our upcoming releases.
Latest Version 2.2.12 was released on June 10, 2013

    Note that the ability to change the colorscheme of this website is mimicking one of the most interesting new features in AfterStep 2 - Colorschemes.

    The xml script used to render this site is available here.
    Colorscheme definitions are available here : Crimson, Deep Red, Gold on Blue, Green Sea, Lime, NeXTish, Peru, Purple, Sea Water, Silver, Stormy Skies, Turquoise, Washed Blue,
