#Some #twm setup I've borrowed from somewhere might look cool, but in
order to avoid #rsi in my old #netbook the #cwm window manager is no
match for any one. Everything it's keyboard bound.

I recall #CWM had a very similar feature. That window manager was a trip. XD

@lily #OpenBSD defaults to #x11 and #cwm. Last I heard #wayland was still being ported.

For those looking for an easy cwm status bar on FreeBSD, I recommend polybar.

trying out #cwm. pretty cool :>

Is there a way to add padding to cwm menus text?

For years I have been looking for a floating WM that would adopt tags and the closest thing I have managed to achieve was adding a script to a floating WM like 2bwm.

Only today I realize that I have had one under my nose for years; namely cwm!

Cwm uses groups, let's say a kind of tag with toggle.

Honestly, more than "groups", I conceive them as "layers" to show/hide/overlay at will.

Just to reiterate:

twm configuration with plan9's rio window-border operations and default cwm keybindings

(It's basically cwm that you can also use with just a mouse)

Kinda frustrated with the state of #desktops in #Linux / #BSD / #Unix

You can either have a fully functional, but kind of frustrating-to-use (too mouse-centric) desktop with Gnome or KDE Plasma, or you can have a lean, efficient, and fast wm/compositor like #i3, #sway #awesomewm #evilwm, #cwm, #bspwm, or whatever you like, BUT you will constantly be scratching your head when #Gnome and #GTK programs either start very slowly or refuse to run at all, and are constantly trying to figure out what combination of configuration, daemon, and small animal sacrifices are necessary to do what the big, bloated desktops do automatically.

It's freaking exhausting, and I want to go back to the days that every one just ran #IceWM, #Enlightenment, or #WindowMaker.

P.S., Just for clarity, I really do love #KDE #Plasma. I think it's a wonderful, easy-to-use, and extremely flexible desktop. But sometimes I really don't want a desktop, I just want a lean-and-basic UI that stays out of my way (for home stuff vs. work stuff, generally).

Day 08 of #31DaysOfFreeBSD :freebsd:

Today I'm exploring the portable version of OpenBSD's cwm (calm window manager).

First impression is... What a lightweight delight! ❤️ It includes enough out-of-box to be immediately useful, and together with excellent man pages cwm(1) and cwmrc(5) its proving easy to customize in a single plain text config file:

#cwm

#cwm users (likely #openbsd folk), this is the color scheme you want. trust me. in .cwmrc:

color activeborder orange
# pleasing but highly visible
color urgencyborder red
# common alert color
color groupborder green
# says "smth. enabled"
color ungroupborder black
# says "smth. disappeared"

FWIW, the defaults (in that order) are white, orange, blue, and red and seem like typical coder art if you ask me.

combine with xsetroot -solid '#333' (dark slate grey) or '#555' (a bit lighter) for best effect.

Working on putting together a guide for running a core system "only" OpenBSD daily driver (ie. cwm with sane defaults, etc)

Hopefully get some free time in the late evenings this weekend to put it together :) (teaser screenshot attached)
