wmrc

A simple WM powered by wmutils, comprised of pure POSIX-compliant shell scripts.

Appearance

Installation

A simple, automated method of installation will be added later (Void template, CRUX port, Arch PKGBUILD), but not yet. Hold on.

Note that this expects that you run startx from a tty, not use a login manager (e.g. gdm, sddm, etc).

First off, you need to compile/install the following:

• wmutils/libwm
• wmutils/core
• wmutils/opt
• sxhkd
• dmenu (or some menu, I use interrobang)
• Any virtual terminal (if your terminal is not properly detected by tln, you will have to edit tln)

Highly recommended:

• lemonbar
• dash - insanely fast posix-compliant shell. symlink to /bin/sh for best performance in most scripts
• hsetroot - wallpaper
• compton - tearing protection and shadows and such
• dunst - notification daemon

If you don't already have them, copy sxhkdrc.default to ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc, and copy xinitrc.default to ~/.xinitrc.

Uncomment the features you would like in .xinitrc.

Copy config.default to ~/.config/wmrc/config.

Throw all the scripts somewhere in your PATH. Enjoy.

TODO

• User guide, good documentation
• Add more layouts to dytyl
• Void Linux template, CRUX port, Arch Linux PKGBUILD
• Makefile

Known issues

• Windows open with the same geometry of the currently focused window
• cw only works when a second window is opened
