What is WinLIKE? - WinLIKE is the first professional Window Manager for web browsers. With WinLIKE, developers can provide web applications, websites and portals with little windows - just like you're used to from your desktop.

WinLIKE is a Web 2.0 application based on DHTML and is only 27 kB in size. It works without any plugins in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and Netscape Navigator 6.1 or higher and other related browsers (Mozilla 0.92, Firebird 0.7, Galeon, Avant etc.) and also Lynx or search engines.

Neither web servers nor databases nor script languages like ASP, PHP etc. are needed, but they are supported. WinLIKE sites are standard HTML sites and even work from your hard disk.


What exactly does the Window Manager do? - The Window Manager is a program which displays and administers different overlapping windows (visual containers for content) on your screen.

• Drag & Save-Links for saving a whole site in a simple link
• powerful personalization with just a cookie
