| − | A DE provides a framework for developing modules. On top of that, a full featured desktop environment contains a myriad of components which work together to provide the user with a working environment. Amongst the most important, we can list the theme engine and the window manager.

| − | Good DEs are modular and will allow the users to mix and match and switch any of their modules with another of their choice.

| − | = Window Managers =
| |
| − | | |
| − | Window managers (WMs) are X clients that provide the border around a window. The window manager controls the appearance of an application and how it is managed: typically the border, titlebar, size, and ability to resize a window are handled by a wm. Many window managers provide other functionality such as places to stick dockapps, menus to configure the WM and other useful things.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Window managers generally do not provide extras like desktop icons, which are commonly seen in desktop environments (though it is possible to add icons in a WM with another program).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Due to the lack of extras, WMs are much lighter on system resources, although you could also use them as yet another module of a full-fledged desktop environment with nothing but a little technical expertise.

| − | 1. Stacking (aka floating)
| |
| − | *Provides the traditional desktop metaphor used in commercial operating systems like Windows and OS X. Windows act like pieces of paper on a desk, and can be stacked on top of each other.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2. Tiling
| |
| − | *These "tile" the windows side-by-side so that none are overlapping. They usually make very extensive use of key-bindings and have less (or no) reliance on the mouse. Tiling window managers may be manual, offer predefined layouts, or both.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3. Dynamic
| |
| − | *A type that can dynamically switch between tiling or floating window layout.
