Share your monsterwm desktop!

I hope that you wont mind to get one monsterwm shot inside monsterwm:

p.s. It is from LinuxTycoon (hate to play game with default weird names so i changed many things).

? How? I don't see it in the config file and my borders don't overlap..

c00kiemon5ter · 2012-11-13 17:54:25

it is the default and only behavior. If you're not seeing overlapping/single borders, you're not running monsterwm

Vixus · 2012-11-14 00:31:23

Hmm, is this ruined by the useless gaps branch? As in, even if the gap width is zero there is no overlap?

c00kiemon5ter · 2012-11-14 00:40:31

ah, yeah, the uselessgaps adds a gap

Nice, what's your font?

kuraku · 2013-03-18 17:53:24

@Unia
Thank you. Font that i'm using on that sshot is "Tamsyn".

Unia · 2013-03-18 18:08:34

Ah, that's why it looks familiar. Thanks!

How would I go about using a top AND a bottom panel in monsterwm?

c00kiemon5ter · 2013-03-26 11:32:14

hi, while it is easily (I think) doable, it is not supported by default.
iirc, in the mosterwm thread it was done once, but I'm not entirely sure.

[crosspost from "May 2013 Screenshots" topic]

I managed to setup monsterwm, debian 7 and minimal env for asus eeepc 701. I'm really satisfied because it looks like my desktop pc env

"wallpaper" mode:

Tiling mode with working env:

Large terminal when i'm tired to look at small letters/numbers:

Neat screen. Care to share what text browser are you using (and configs for them)?

Alright then. Its w3m; config is default exept this line

extbrowser sh -c 'printf %s "$0" | xclip'

Effect is, that current url will be copied to clipboard. I use it to watch YouTube Videos in Mplayer.

Switched from DWM, wanted to try something new and I got to say that I love monsterwm with bar: sane defaults and less patching.
Now I just need to add more to my statusbar and maybe some nice icons

Reznor · 2013-06-07 07:26:11

Can anyone give me example how to get that colored underline under title, e.g. that yellow underline under www in above screenshot?
Thanks.

toringe · 2013-06-07 14:33:40

I copied and changed some script I found here
It looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

wm=monsterwm
ff="/tmp/$RANDOM.monsterwm.fifo"

tags=('www' 'dev' 'irc' 'media')
layouts=('[T]' '[M]' '[B]' '[G]' '[F]')

[[ -p $ff ]] || mkfifo -m 600 "$ff"

function statusbar {

    function clock() {
        time="$(date "+%R")" 
        echo $time
    }

    function ssid() {
        AP=$(iwconfig wlp2s0 | grep 'ESSID:' | awk '{print $4}' | sed 's/ESSID://g' | sed 's/"//g')
        echo $AP
    }
    function mem(){
        mem="$(awk '/^-/ {print $3}' <(free -m))"
        echo $mem
    }

    echo "\c $(clock) \r\f6\Mem:\fr\ $(mem) MB  \f7\*\fr\  \f6\WiFi:\fr\ $(ssid) "
}

while read -t 1 -r wmout || true; do
    if [[ $wmout =~ ^(([[:digit:]]+:)+[[:digit:]]+ ?)+$ ]]; then
        read -ra desktops <<< "$wmout"

        tmp=
        for desktop in "${desktops[@]}"; do
            IFS=':' read -r d w m c u <<< "$desktop"
            # Tags labels
            label=${tags[$d]}
            # Current desktop color and enclosing char (yes/no)
            ((c)) && fg="4" bg="2" lc="\u4 " rc=" \ur" && layout=${layouts[$m]} || fg="1" bg="0" lc=" " rc=" "
            # Has windows ?
            ((w)) && ((! c)) && fg="6" lc="\u6 " rc=" \ur"
            # Urgent windows ?
            ((u)) && fg="9" bg="3" lc="\u4 " rc=" \ur"

            tmp+="\f$fg\b$bg$lc$label$rc\fr\br"
        done
        # Merge the clients indications and the tile mode
        tmp+=" $layout"
    fi
    echo "$tmp $(statusbar)"
done < "$ff" | bar &

#while :; do "$wm" || break; done | tee -a "$ff"
$wm > "$ff"

rm $ff

This is how I get the titles underlined in my bar. Hope it helps.

# desktop status
for desk; do
    d="${desk%%:*}" desk="${desk#*:}" # desktop id
    w="${desk%%:*}" desk="${desk#*:}" # window count
    l="${desk%%:*}" desk="${desk#*:}" # layout mode
    c="${desk%%:*}" desk="${desk#*:}" # is current desktop
    u="$desk"                         # has urgent hint

    # desktop id
    case "$d" in
        0) d="null" ;; 1) d="web" ;;
        2) d="dev" ;; 3) d="misc" ;;
        *) d=""
    esac

    # current desktop on active monitor
    if [ $c -ne 0 ]
    then bg="\b2" un="\u2" fg="\f1"
        case "$l" in
            0) s="T" ;; 1) s="M" ;; 2) s="B" ;;
            3) s="G"   ;; 4) s="F"   ;;
        esac && s="\u0\u0$s\br\ur"
    fi

    # This underlines desktops with open windows
    [ $w -ne 0 ] && un="\u1"
    # or urgent hints
    [ $u -ne 0 ] && un="\u4"

    mr="$mr$bg$fg$un $d \ur\br\fr"
    unset bg fg un
done
