- Description
- The CMU file type is associated with the CMU Window Manager, a system used primarily on Unix-based operating systems for managing the graphical user interface. It originated from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), contributing to its name. These files typically contain configuration or script information that instructs the window manager on how to organize and display windows, manage themes, or handle user interactions. The CMU Window Manager is known for its flexibility and customization options, allowing users to tailor their graphical environment to their specific needs and preferences.
- A GIF file is an image file often used for web graphics. It may contain up to 256 indexed colors with a color palette that may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image. GIF files are saved in a lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression.
