Mhh I have something to add : the dev is a really nice guy who was enclined to help me, but he also told me not to use ourico because it was too buggy and recommended me to use something else instead of ourico.

Not sure what he uses, but you can try any tiny bitmap font (terminus/proggy/dina, to name a few)

Thanks guys.
Couldn't install MonteCarlo or dina properly, but I'll fiddle around with it a bit more to see if I can get them working.

Well, that's an honest response!

How fast is xfwm compared to openbox?

How fast is xfwm compared to openbox?

Pretty fast. I don't notice the difference (and I'm pretty picky when it comes to speed).

The main reason I chose xfwm over Openbox is full compositing support, so GUI is rendered through GPU instead of wasting CPU. In Openbox you need xcompmgr for that, which is way too buggy and unmaintained. Also, tearing is less noticeable when you move windows around - unfortunately it's still there, but less than in pure Openbox without compositing. This is mostly xorg's fault, and there isn't much we can do except wait for Wayland and proper support for tear-free rendering, composite or otherwise.

The main disadvantage when using xfwm is that you have to use xfdesktop to be able to show wallpaper and to have openbox-like right click menu - which opens instantly (!) and doesn't require any external programs. Editing it tho is pretty complicated (I plan to write a Python script just for purpose of editing that menu).

You can try it by using these packages in AUR I wrote: xfwm4-standalone and xfdesktop-standalone - xfdesktop is compiled with MINIMAL options and handles only wallpaper and menu. If you have something like bauerbill that handles AUR dependencies automatically just install xfwm4-standalone and it will pull all the necessary things. It will also pull one or two xfce4 dependencies but nothing major.

But does the logout menu work if you aren't running xfce4-session?

Also, how do you change icon theme, etc without xfce4-settings-helper?

Logout doesn't work, I don't need it anyway. I'll remove it from the menu when I figure out how to edit it (the menu) efficiently.

I can change icon/GTK theme normally with lxappearance.

Finally found a dark GTK theme that doesn't suck, so I've been able to play with colours a bit. Apologies for thumb spam, wanted to show a range of gtk apps. No caveats as yet, unusual for dark gtk themes.

dwm, Exaile, Chromium, Sakura, Gimp, Thunar

What hardware are you running this on? Not too many 11,6" LCD screens with that resolution and an Atom inside I guess. Sony 'netbook'?

Just out of curiosity, which font are you using in your terminals?

woddfellow2 · 2010-12-19 21:30:48

I am using console8x16:

Vain · 2010-12-19 22:08:01

Aye, thanks.

I was asking because I discovered this font today – which is essentially the same font as yours but with better unicode support. However, there's no package for it, not even in the AUR. Seems like nobody uses it. Your screen shots made me think: "Hmm, is there a popular package I'm missing? Or is he really using that same font?"

Nichollan · 2010-12-19 23:54:39

I have moved from xmonad to dwm, as I found a way to implement a command mode in dwm – something I've wanted to try in a tiling window manager for some time. Previously I have tried to understand the xlib or xcb libraries to figure out how to make my own window manager from scratch – which I guess would be less complicated for someone not entirely new to C programming, but have figured that editing the dwm source code would give me quicker gratification at this moment. I don't have much visual to show off right now:

Let me tell you, as an author of a window manager (subtle), writing a wm is neither an easy task nor is xlib less complicated. I have a good C background and I am playing with xlib for more than five years now.
