High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Y Window System (also known as Y-Windows) is a windowing system, consisting of a window server and a client library for writing applications. It was written by Mark Thomas as the subject of his Master's thesis at Imperial College, London. It is intended to be a successor to the X Window System, hence the name. It differs from the X Window System in having an integrated widget set and ground-up support for things like an alpha channel, which allows transparent or translucent windows. At the end of his Master's Thesis, Thomas had a working system with some applications. Later he released the code and set up a community project. Y uses SDL, and in theory can run under any system that supports SDL. As of 2005, the project is incomplete and not undergoing active development; the developers do not have time to work on this project.
