What is Corona?

Corona is a window manager for the X-window system version 11.
It is a based on Marcus Comstedt's amiwm But strives to be more feature complete.
One of the main goals is to integrate the Rox-Filer into it to form a seamless lightwight desktop environment.

Prerequisits

Just a working X11 installation and a UNIX or unix like Operating system.
The nedit text editor is used in the default config to call up config files to edit. You can use it, or edit the configfiles to use your prefered texteditor.
If you want to have a image in the screen background Xloadimage comes in handy.
But having the rox filemanager installed gives some more features. Not many yet since the integration isn't very far yet, but some. :)
