Finally, after trying every tiling wm out there I have found my favourite. Using it for half a day and chances are the wm hopping is over.

Tho there are a couple of issues, mainly with what should be floating windows, mplayer and dialog popups...

Thank you. I'm afraid panel.sh is ugly and needs to be rewritten. It works though.

Thanks man. Do you still use herbstluftwm or another one

Here is mine as well, recently converted to hlwm, feels good.

Not a screenshot but a simple and fast "scratchpad" script:

#!/bin/bash

name="htop"
cmd="xterm -name $name -e htop"
id=$(xdotool search --name $name)
pid=$(xdotool getwindowpid $id)

if [[ -n $id ]]
then
    if herbstclient dump | grep $(printf "%x" $id)
    then
        kill $pid
    else
        herbstclient bring $id
    fi
else
    $cmd
fi

It runs htop in a terminal if it's not already running or brings it to your current frame if it's already running. Using it again when htop is already in your current view, will kill it.

I use herbstluftwm on my laptop only:

The side panel persists even when I switch between workspaces. This is accomplished by dividing up the monitor into two herbstluftwm 'monitors', and the workspace changing commands only work on the left 'monitor'.

It suffers from a bug where the stuff on the right-hand side monitor will sometimes jump over to the left when I change a workspace. I need to figure out what is wrong in my config, but it's easy to deal with for now.

What do you mean by sometims? If you focus the tag of right-hand side while still being on the left-hand side? If yes, it helps to disable swap_monitors_to_get_tag.

Music player is cmus. I use pal for my calendar, but the display in the screenshot is not part of the pal program; I wrote the following script to read and display pal calendar files. It requires you to gem install rainbow.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'rainbow/ext/string'
require 'date'

$calfile = '/home/kareem/.pal/details.pal'

def main_loop
  events = File.read($calfile).split("\n")
  events = events[1..-1]

  events.reject! {|e| e.match /^\s*$/ }

  now = DateTime.now

  cur_day = nil

  str = ''

  events.each do |e|
    year, month, day, start, fin, event = nil
    e.match(/^(?<y>\d\d\d\d)(?<m>\d\d)(?<d>\d\d) (?<e>.+)/) do |m|
      year  = m[:y].to_i
      month = m[:m].to_i
      day   = m[:d].to_i
      event = m[:e].gsub(/\d\d:\d\d-\d\d:\d\d/, '').
                    gsub(/\d\d:\d\d/, '')
    end
    raise e if year.nil? or month.nil? or day.nil? or event.nil?

    e.match(/(?<sh>\d\d):(?<sm>\d\d)-(?<fh>\d\d):(?<fm>\d\d)/) do |m|
      start = DateTime.new(year, month, day, m[:sh].to_i, m[:sm].to_i)
      fin   = DateTime.new(year, month, day, m[:fh].to_i, m[:fm].to_i)
    end
    e.match(/(?<h>\d\d):(?<m>\d\d)/) do |m|
      start = DateTime.new(year, month, day, m[:h].to_i, m[:m].to_i)
    end
    raise e if start.nil?

    next if start.to_time + 3600 < now.to_time

    if start.to_date != cur_day
      cur_day = start.to_date
      date_string = start.to_date.strftime("%A %d %Y")
      if(cur_day == now.to_date)
        date_string = "Today"
      elsif(cur_day == now.to_date + 1)
        date_string = "Tomorrow"
      end
      str += sprintf "\n#{'_' * date_string.length}"
      str += sprintf "\n%s".color(:cyan).bright.background(:black), date_string
      str += sprintf "\n#{'`' * date_string.length}\n".color(:blue).bright
    end

    time = start.strftime("%H:%M").color(:green)
    time += " - #{fin.strftime('%H:%M')}" if fin

    event.strip!

    if start.to_time - now.to_time < 3600
      str += "#{event.color(:red)}#{':'.color(:cyan)} #{time}\n"

    elsif start.to_time - now.to_time < 3600 * 24
      str += "#{event.color(:yellow)}#{':'.color(:cyan)} #{time}\n"

    else
      str += "#{event}#{':'.color(:cyan)} #{time}\n"
    end

  end

  rows = `/usr/bin/env tput lines`.to_i
  counter = 0
  out = ''
  str.each_line do |l|
    break if counter > rows
    out += l
    counter += 1
  end
  puts out
end

main_loop
last_read = DateTime.now.to_time

while true
  mtime = File.mtime($calfile)

  if mtime > last_read
    last_read = mtime
    main_loop
  end

  sleep 1
end

And here is an example of a pal calendar file:

DT Detailed Schedule

20150815 Meal 07:00-10:00
20150815 Opening ceremony 10:00-10:30
20150815 Let's get ready to Go 10:30-11:30
20150815 Meal 12:00-14:00
20150815 Check-in A311 14:00
20150815 Future of Software Freedom 14:00-15:00
20150815 Lightning talks 15:30-17:00
20150815 Coffee & snacks 15:30-17:00
20150815 Meal 19:00-20:30
20150815 New to DebConf BOF 20:30-21:30
20150815 Debian Birthday Party 21:30

A better example of what pal does is in my mega 6-monitor i3 screenshot.

herbstluftwm with a pseudo-dualhead setup, using lemonbar, urxvt, and cantata:

configs on github

caravanlizzy · 2015-10-22 22:04:11

the last post was my hlwm on my notebook, this one is my setup at my tower. bit more colorless, but better to work since it doesnt make me work on hlwm all the time

This is a cross post from the most recent screenshot thread. I'm using pretty much the same setup with my main PC and laptop. I prefer to use sxhkd for keybindings. I've been on herbstluftwm for almost two years now and I've fiddled with lemonbar a lot

I love herbstluftwm <3

(Almost) Clean : tint2 panel & ncmpcpp music player

Dirty :
Opening some toys: tty-clock, pipes, cmatrix.
termite terminal, showing some hc code in my config.
Yes! I have gaps inside gaps inside gaps. I love gaps <3

My config is really messy. I'm too shy to share it.
I don't even able to setup dzen2
