Re: November 2008 Screenshots

Space-age WMII.

Fonts: fixed 12 (WMII), Dejavu Sans 7 (GTK)
Icons: Meliae
GTK theme: dyne
Wallpaper from interfacelift.com
Info on bottom left with help of acpi package, which I completely forgot about while I was using awesome.

(The setup is obviously incomplete, but if anyone wants the wmiirc, I'll post it. Not that it has anything remotely innovative in it; WMII is *easy* to configure, unlike awesome.)

There's nothing to show really, so...

The : is just the prompt for ratpoison commands. I could have of course shown many applications at once but meh, we all know what it looks like..

Haha

It's just minimalistic, the way I dig it.

But maybe I should've taken the screenshot with many windows open and tiled... At the moment, I'm totally in love with Ratpoison. With normal tiling window managers I felt like I was fighting against it all the time since the tiling would get screwed up every time I opened a new window and I had to reorganize everything. Ratpoison is pure awesomeness, maybe the best window manager ever. Well, it works like screen, so obviously it's one of the best pieces of software ever...

Re: November 2008 Screenshots

I gotta switch to a tiling WM one of these days...

I just decided to try one out, I went for Awesome first. It was somewhat cool even though there was alot to learn, but I got the hang of it pretty fast. Then it started pissing me off, because every time I opened a new application my layout would get screwed up. I went back to Openbox for a few days but... I had alot of unused space on my screen all the time and it just didn't feel "right" anymore. Then I started looking for alternatives and all the tiling WM's seemed to require some cryptic programming language knowledge if you wanted to change any settings. It actually felt like these guys are trying to implement software in the most obscure programming language possible (LUA, Haskell, etc.)

Plus, I read many comments about the config file syntaxes that aren't even stable and that they seem to change from release to release. That's retarded. I was about to try DWM but went for Ratpoison. And, like I said earlier, it's pure awesomeness. You are in complete control over the windows and you don't have to fight against it. Plus, since it works like screen, it's pure awesomeness times ten, and if you're familiar with screen, all the keybindings come naturally. There's really no huge need to customize the environment at all.

My biggest problem is when I have to use some other computer, like one with Windows Vista. The shell is useless so you have to use the crappy Explorer and its UI is the worst piece of garbage ever, filled with those useless "My loldocuments" folders that nobody even uses. Floating window management and the software(s) actually crashes and is horribly bloated and slow?! Talk about a huge drop in productivity!

Heh, wall of text ^^

Re: November 2008 Screenshots

...

While I do agree with some things you said (specially with the habit of awesome changing the configuration file every now and then), I don't keep on fighting with awesome. If you configure it according to your needs, you'll almost never have to configure your windows again.

For example, when I open firefox, I'm certain it'll open on tag 3, urxvt on 4 and so on. Any application I start won't mess up with the other ones. Of course, it took some effort, but I think it's worth it.

Hey, mind sharing the fvwm configs ? It looks great.

I'd recommend wmii as your first tiling WM. It's simple and has a great welcome guide/tutorial thing when you first start it up.
