dminiwm snapwm & bipolarbar

moetunes · 2012-04-02 22:44:02

I've pushed a couple of fixes for dminiwm.multiview. The tiling mode wasn't sticking and if there was an open window on the first desktop change it was getting unmapped. It should be fine now

Edit: I figured out how to take a proper screenshot for the web.

Cheers

Some snapwm news.
Here's a pic of a nearly functioning snapwm with multi monitor capabilities:

it's buggier than a bug catchers' favorite haunt but I wanted to show compositing worked on irc so I took a shot.

I had a firefox customize toolbar window draw the close button off the screen so I've fixed that and pushed it for both dminiwms and snapwm.

Cheers

hey moetunes, I just found out that the dwm status bar comes also by itself.
maybe you want to look into the code, for your some_sorta_bar

Thanks for the heads up c00kiemon5ter, I'll take a look at it soon.

I swapped the grid tiling mode for a floating one in dminiwm here. New windows start out centered, can be moved/resized with Alt + left/right button + drag and their size and position is remembered when switching between modes. Here's a pic:

I haven't pushed it to git yet but will if it is something that could be useful.

I put dminiwm with a stacking mode on git as larrythewindowmanager. It uses the same config.h as dminiwm with two more functions for moving the window left or right in the stacking mode and two functions are slightly changed.

    {  MOD1|ShiftMask,   XK_j,          move_up,           {.i = -10}},//Changed from {NULL}}
    {  MOD1|ShiftMask,   XK_k,          move_down,         {.i = 10}},//Changed from {NULL}}
    {  MOD1|ShiftMask,   XK_o,          move_left,         {.i = -10}},
    {  MOD1|ShiftMask,   XK_p,          move_right,        {.i = 10}},

In the stacking mode Alt+h/l changes the windows width and Alt+o/p changes the windows height, Shift+Alt+j/k moves the window up/down and Shift+Alt+o/p moves the window left/right. Or you can use Alt+mouse buttons. The shortcuts work the same in the tiling modes as they always have.

Cheers

I just have to say: best name ever!

moetunes · 2012-04-13 06:36:59

Cheers. I've added it to snapwm too now. There's still a bug to work out though...
edit: if you try snapwm make sure you add a fifth modename to either the config.h or snapwmrc.
Here's a pic:

Everything seems ok here so far. Here's another screenshot of snapwm:

It actually works really nicely! Thanks.

I had a look at this and it's a bar that doesn't have positional options from what I could see. I don't understand why you linked it. I thought it had something extra that you wanted in some_sorta_bar but it doesn't seem to do much at all... Let me know what you had in mind for it.

c00kiemon5ter · 2012-04-15 10:06:10

nothing in particular really. just a similar project. thought I'd mention it, and maybe you could reuse or w/e anything you found interesting,

moetunes · 2012-04-15 22:35:44

Some snapwm news.

I've added the option to have a window open at a set size and position, when in stacking mode, to config.h.

static const Positional positional[] = { \
    /* class  x  y  width  height */
    { "Thunar", 100,100,800,400 },
    { "URxvt", 100,400,570,270 },
    { "Xchat", 320,60,950,500 }
};

edit: If you don't want to set a position for any window just leave positional blank

static const Positional positional[] = { };

Cheers

Hey moe. With the new update, it built fine and the wm starts up but then crashes when I try to open an app (urxvt or firefox). The only change I made to my config.h is adding:

static const Positional positional[] = { };

Before I posted that line and again just now I built and ran snapwm with that line and it worked as expected. Can you paste your config.h here in code tags? There would be an error during make if there is a typo, if there isn't it shouldn't affect any app. But maybe you have a combination of options I haven't checked yet that doesn't work together now.

stlarch · 2012-04-16 19:08:23

Sure. My keys are considerably different, but they seemed to be working fine before. Anyway, here it is:

@stlarch
After trying a few different things with your config.h, cause the wm kept crashing, I added a printf to snapwm.c where positional[] is used to find out how many entries are in there and with my config.h and an empty positional[] it returns 0, with your config.h and an empty positional it returns 3381555 !
I'm still trying to figure out why that would be. What do you use to edit the file? If I copy the top part of my config.h (down to the end of positional[]) to your config.h and have an empty positional[] it works fine... so I'm thinking some sort of text encoding difference but I know nothing about that.

I use either nano or mcedit since I'm in mc a lot already. I tried changing that part of it to:

static const Positional positional[] = { \
    /*class  x  y  width  height */
    { "URxvt", 100,100,600,350 },
};

and everything seems fine again. I can just leave that for now. I'll probably end up using some of that anyway. I'll play around with it more when I get home later. Thanks

moetunes · 2012-04-16 21:57:19

@ stlarch
Disregard above post. I have found a fix which makes your config.h work ok here. You can remove the word static from the start of line 251 in snapwm.c and rebuild or do a git pull. Thanks for speaking up
edit: I should check for new posts and not just page down ...

hey, i just discovered this wonderfull wm due to the screenshots thread.
i am playing with it now and like it very much.
One question, is there a way to use a keyboard shortcut to cycle through the layouts?
Would be handy,
thanks

moetunes · 2012-04-19 21:16:43

@ stlarch
Thanks for that Dave Love your work.

@ skrite
There wasn't one but it wasn't hard to add. After a git pull you can use a new keyboard shortcut for it.

    {  MOD1,             XK_a,          rotate_mode,       {.i = 1}},

You can go both ways through the modes if you like, just add another keyboard shortcut with
{.i = -1}

Cheers

what is the config that lets me change which button i use with the mouse to resize and drag a floating window?
thanks

moetunes · 2012-04-20 05:29:32

Some snapwm news.

In stacking mode, sometimes when there was two windows mostly covering each other, the focus would change quickly between the two over and over again and I've found a fix so I'd recommend a git pull.

There's nothing in the config at this stage for that. It is hard coded in snapwm.c lines 1027-1030 and lines 810-816. What are you looking to change them to?

i would like to use the windows key (mod4)

and while we are here, can i change the theme or default font to a bitmap font?

Great work on this, by the way. the wm is very fast and light. no crashes yet either. Feels like everything i wanted wmfs to be, but wasn't
