The Window Manager module provides two very important components of the OS:
- A cooperative multitasking execution environment to allow multiple user-facing programs to coexist
- A windowing system to allow the user to interact with the running programs
The Window Manager module and the environment it provides are commonly referred to as the Wimp. The user interface that the Wimp provides is also known as the RISC OS Desktop. Programs that run under the control of the Wimp can also be referred to as Applications or Tasks. Within the Window Manager section, the words Program, Application and Task should be treated as synonyms.
In order to ensure a consistent user experience, the RISC OS Style Guide should be consulted for information on how Wimp tasks should look and feel, and how they should interact with the user and each other.
