'''XDarwin''' is an obsolete [[X Window System]] (X11) [[display server]] for the [[Darwin (operating system)|Darwin]] [[operating system]] and early versions of [[Mac OS X]].  XDarwin allows one to use programs written for X11 on those operating systems.

XDarwin was ported by the '''XonX''' project, an offshoot project created by [[XFree86]] developers.  It is integrated in the upstream [[source code]] of the [[XFree86]] and [[Xorg]] servers, where it is maintained.

Originally, XDarwin required an X window manager to run.  For this task, a window manager called [[OroborOSX]] was created; this was based on Oroborus, another X window manager, but modified to look like the native Mac OS window manager.  More recent versions of XDarwin can also run in rootless mode, which is to say that it integrates with the native window manager instead of requiring such a program specifically for X.

According to the XonX project, X11.app itself contains code from XDarwin. Programs such as [[OpenOffice.org]] use XDarwin to run in the X11 windowing environment, either in a rootless or full-screen mode. A version of the program was created for [[Mac OS X Panther]] or higher that runs in the native [[Aqua (user interface)|Aqua]] interface.
