- 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.
- An ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
