- PC users seeking a lightweight desktop for legacy software
- Worth noticing
- The page says IceWM theme archives can restyle the whole desktop, including controls and Windows-program windows.
Field notes
The project says its App Store packages are signed and each is installed, launched, and checked by an automated test before publication; it also says updates follow the same route. Its theme importer accepts existing IceWM archives, previews them before application, and styles elements from window frames through controls. The page reports a 32 MB minimum and an approximately six-second boot to desktop, but these remain claims in the supplied homepage extract.
