Try with xcompmgr.

I was joking, but tried it. Drop-shadow defaults kill the focus-window border, and pseudo-transparency is more than adequate on terminal windows. I did get better cursor response and focus-following with Cairo-compmgr, though, but it still feels crufted-up that way.

Cairo-compmgr was the least buggy vs. xcompmgr & dcompmgr, which is as much as I'm willing to fiddle with for now, on this machine (intel core duo + intel onboard i915 shared RAM video + mystery proprietary OEM motherboard) with ScrotWM.

Hi,
Is there a way to only have 6 workspaces for example? I don't wanna have more workspaces if I don't use them.

keenerd · 2012-01-31 14:37:09

Sure. At the very least you'd need to change

#define SWM_WS_MAX     (10)

to something smaller. You may also have to track down and remove a bunch of keybindings.

Why not just pretend they don't exist? All that effort only saves about a kilobyte of ram.

I just installed scrotWm and am really liking it. I did run into a small snag though

[jarvis@watson tmp]$ adb shell
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libswmhack.so.0.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

It still works as intended but I just get that error.

skanky · 2012-02-02 11:33:04

IIRC libswmhack ensures that apps are loaded into the workspace from where they are called, even if you switch to another one in between.

doug piston · 2012-02-02 15:10:19

Ah I see, thank you. I must say I am really enjoying ScrotWM. Coming from OB and I quickly grew tired of having to resize terminals to fit correctly.

skanky · 2012-02-02 15:46:08

Yes I like it a lot.

Sorry I can't help fix the issue, BTW. I've not really got any idea where to start.
There is a conformal scrotwm forum though, https://opensource.conformal.com/fluxbb … .php?id=10
Post back here if you do get it sorted.

keenerd · 2012-02-02 15:55:39

Some programs don't play well with the libswmhack stuff. For those, you can disable it by aliasing a command:

env -u LD_PRELOAD fooprogram

The only app I do this with is my terminal.

Maybe if I had read one page back I would have found that. /headslap.

I just read through the whole thread and wanted to say appreciate all the work you guys have put into this.

Edit::

Your alias thought worked perfect..

[jarvis@watson ~]$ adbshell

I am either reading the man page incorrectly or have misconfigured my scrotwm.conf, but I can't get applications to load in their designated workspaces. I have this in my conf:

autorun                = ws[1]:web
autorun                = ws[2]:tmux
autorun                = ws[3]:mutt
autorun                = ws[4]:mplayer
autorun                = ws[4]:skype
autorun                = ws[4]:keepassx

and yet applications only open in the current workspace. My full conf is here: http://beta.intuxication.org/jasonwryan … rotwm.conf

I have patched scrotwm.c with the color_bar patch - but I don't think that is the issue...

Am I missing something obvious?

skanky · 2012-02-06 10:02:03

Try commenting out the web line. I assume that's a function or script like the web program definition?
It may be that at start-up scrotwm can't find it and fails and stops doing autorun handling?

I don't use autorun myself, but the syntax looks correct based on the manual.

Also, a quick google of scrotwm.conf suggests you've got the syntax right:

jasonwryan · 2012-02-06 18:17:28

Thanks skanky. Good idea; it pointed me towards a better understanding of how it works.

It hasn't solved the issue for me, but I'll keep playing around with it.

skanky · 2012-02-07 14:52:48

It's not confused by the fact that you have programs defined with the same name is it?
If you run out of ideas, I'd try the scrotwm forum (above).

doug piston · 2012-02-07 18:50:12

Anyone able to get terminus to be used in the scrotbar? I've seen it in configs that I have search for around the intertubes but fails for me. I've added it to .scrotwm.conf

bar_font        = -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

But instead shows up as a very tiny unreadable font.

EDIT: I should read the font's wiki before asking such silly questions.

any changelog for 0.11.0-1 ?

skanky · 2012-02-09 09:43:49

From Freshmeat:

Release Notes: This release adds M-f to make switching between windows in the same workspace easier. Moving and resizing floating windows with the mouse is now based on click location. UTF-8 support has been added. The flip layout command M-S-\ has been added. Uniconify works on windows with non-ASCII titles. Memory and file descriptor leaks in conf_load are plugged. The missing ws_prior key binding has been added to the keyboard mapping files. The response to applications when windows are not reconfigured as requested has been fixed. There are many fixes to the bar display.

I just installed this yesterday and already I like it verrra much thank you. I also use ratpoison and the difference in OOTB usability is amazing, though I did have to drop back into tty2 to figure out how to open anything. I haven't found anything that annoys me yet, but it's early days still. New favorite WM.

doug piston · 2012-02-17 00:27:39

That's a shame. I think I'll always call it scrotwm.

I have read the font's wiki,not so clearly about it(My english is not good). and I still don't know why set the font like you do,but it doesn't take effect.

Could you tell me how to do that?Thanks.

doug piston · 2012-02-25 14:21:39

I was using dzen for the scrotbar but this should get it done for you. Modify the ~/.xinitrc

I have a few questions:

1. Is it possible to make spectrwm always run foo program on bar desktop? I tried the autorun feature, but I think its just for starting application on startup, correct?

2. How can I stop the focus from following the mouse?

3. How can I change the default keybinds? I don't see them inside /etc/spectrwm.conf.
