About

xmtoolbar was written sometime in 1995 – I cannot find the author’s name, apart from ‘Spiff’.

It’s a catchy name, but there were quite a few toolbars like this which emulated fvwm’s goodstuff, which was a forerunner to what is now FvwmButtons.

With xmtoolbar you can build up a panel with pixmap icons (XPMs) and launch programs. In xmtoolbar’s case, this can be done interactively and then the running configuration can be saved to disk for #xmtoolbar to load next time.
