Re: dminiwm snapwm & bipolarbar

snapwm is over ten years old now and I'm still using it as my daily driver on my only laptop, the one I wrote the code for it on.

I'm amazed they are both still functioning as well as they are.

Cheers

Re: dminiwm snapwm & bipolarbar

Hi ahmadinne, sorry for the slow reply.

    I still use snapwm as my daily driver, it does everytning I want and need (and a bunch of stuff I don't need - feature creep is a very real thing).
Some linux distros want a stable release version of a program which is what the snapwm repo is. The Nextwm repo is the development version. I have not done any development work in years so both repos are at the same stage and using either will give the same result.
    I am sure there will be compiler errors but don't think they will be fatal.

Have fun.
