#windowmanager

1 post1 participant0 posts today
Kerr Avonsen (she/her)

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."

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

Regardless of the reasons of the programmers of Gnome to go that route 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.

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

Hmm. How does one word this inquiry...
Do any of you out there in the #Fediverse know of a #windowmanager or a #desktopenviroment that is pretty install-and-forget, similar to #cosmic, which has auto-tiling enabled by default?

I'm tired. I don't want to go hand-configuring two config files and a bunch of lines of things, I just want something that works, and can possibly run on an ITX ARM board with only 8gb of RAM.

Hello Openbox! Its been awhile. 🙂

I'm re-acquainting myself with the Openbox window manager on my new FreeBSD laptop. I was a happy user for a few years before moving to Linux Mint Debian and Cinnamon desktop.

Currently rethinking my config with help from this excellent HOWTO courtesy of @vermaden ...

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?

Day 08 of #31DaysOfFreeBSD :freebsd:

Today I'm exploring the portable version of OpenBSD's cwm (calm window manager).

First impression is... What a lightweight delight! ❤️ It includes enough out-of-box to be immediately useful, and together with excellent man pages cwm(1) and cwmrc(5) its proving easy to customize in a single plain text config file:

On the Frootloop Monkeytosh computer front the key thing is: AeroSpace: github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpa

If you're a "tiling" Window Manager user like me then AeroSpace totally transforms the Mac experience. You can almost forget there's a mouse attached. It's all very familiar if you're an XMonad* user. It isn't quite perfectly seamless, but it's a whole other world of usability for me.

I've got quite a nice modernised setup working at the moment, with AeroSpace, iTerm2, Fish shell, Atuin shell history, and Neovim... still more to enhance, I've barely dipped my toe in with Neovim's capabilities (and currently have nothing like my old vim uber-config running, that's on the TODO list.)

* My dev-box window manager history is: WindowMakXer => FVWM => PWM => Ion => XMonad... admittedly this home desktop currently runs XFCE because I've never really needed it to be a hardcore coding environment.
