#windowmanager

1 Beitrag1 Beteiligte*r0 Beiträge heute

One of the things which frustrates me no end, is that every single #Tiling #WindowManager I've ever seen on #Linux is designed with the assumption that "simple" and "pretty" are mutually exclusive.

The closest I've come to "pretty" is XMonad, because at least that allows you to have colour schemes, and to change the width of the (flat) window borders. Most of the others don't even allow that much.

But maybe things have changed since I last looked? Do any of you know of a tiling window manager which is actually PRETTY? Like, 3-dimensional window borders and other things one can customise the look of?

True minimalism!!! I definitely have to try it 🤣

"Mwm: an X11 window manager in 20 lines of code

Is KDE too much for you? GNOME tries to do too much? Xfce still a bit too fancy? Do you need something smaller? Even more minimalist? What about a mere 20 lines of code which provide the absolute barest possible minimum of window management functionality?

You need mwm."

Hmmm this looks interesting but I've not yet tried it a #TilingWM called Maomaowm with the followings features.

In addition to inheriting dwl's core features and common functions found in other compositors, maomao also supports unique functionalities from other projects. These include:

- Hyprland’s animations,
- Sway’s additional protocols,
- Labwc’s text input method,
- Niri’s scrolling layout.

However, these are implemented in a deliberately lightweight and simplistic manner to avoid bloated code.

I'm still amazed by the power / speed yet paradoxical simplicity of FluxBox

I've seen many Window and Desktop Managers in the past decades.
For as far as I remember; this is the only Window manager FluxBox, which enables multiple monitor background choosing in the login requester screens out of the box, I repeat OUT OF THE BOX

Do you know what I did decades ago when Gnome removed easily configurable features? I just went to another Window / Desktop manager combination. I was playing with fvwm Enlightenment Black Box FluxBox & others before KDE & Gnome.

I compiled fvwm from sources way back in the beginning, when Linux had no x Windows at all, when we literally had to build everything from sources even use a disc editor to put magic bytes on the boot sector first on the floppy and then later on on the MBR of the ATA hard drive

IMHO Enlightenment still rocks even today!

Regardless of the reasons of the programmers of Gnome to go that route of in_configurability decades ago, they have many many people like that desktop environment.

Ironic but both the rigid in_configurability of Gnome and the configurability to the pixel of KDE is needed for the planet.

For similar reasons many Legacy Window Managers not only still exist, but are actively maintained, so that they can compile in current POSIX operating systems

I, for example can't understand why people need to use Apple Hardware, which is inferior, in an Apple 🍎 ecosystem which dominates every move you make, but obviously millions of people in the States who need it exist, otherwise they wouldn't buy a phone that's produced for $10 for $2,000 right?

Reading man pages is important. When you realize that a switch left your long term RAM you usually type man command.

However just opening a manual of a DE you use daily can show you stuff you did not know were (easily) possible

Im working again with a few WM and DE I had left for various reasons.

man is my friend

Just shared a glimpse of my desktop setup over on https://deskto.ps!
Currently rocking a cool bitmap wallpaper from the bitmap-walls(https://github.com/dkeg/bitmap-walls) collection
something about those simple patterns just clicks for me.

Plus, everything feels so snappy with my trusty TWM. What does your desktop look like?
