Text can be ren dered double buffered using both X core fonts and Xft fonts. Waimea also includes a fast lightweight menu sys tem with dynamic menus support. The built in action con figuration system makes waimea the most configurable win dow manager available. It allows the user to set up waimea to behave as any other window manager or in new ways never before possible.
