🧵 Hilo (1/8)

🚀 Nueva feature en mi proyecto Conky weather para AntiX / IceWM

Agregué monitoreo de radiación UV usando la API de @openmeteo , incluyendo:
• UV actual
• UV máximo diario
• Hora del pico de radiación

Todo ligero, en Bash y pensado para hardware modesto 🐧

Conclusión:

IceWM 4.0 prepara el terreno
Conky ya estaba listo
picom pone la última pieza

👉 Ahora la transparencia real sí es posible en antiX.

+ (4.0) + = (con fondo transparente)

🧵 HILO | IceWM 4.0 + Conky + picom en antiX 🧊🐧
(Transparencias reales, sin inflar el sistema)

🪟✨
Con la llegada de IceWM 4.0 en antiX hay un cambio importante:
👉 ahora el gestor de ventanas soporta RGBA de 32 bits y alpha blending por defecto.

Esto no agrega efectos…
pero deja de bloquearlos 👀

🖥️ IceWM 4.0.0 (salto importante) ❄️🚀

🎨 Apariencia y gráficos actualizados

La transparencia (alpha blending) y el modo RGBA de 32 bits ahora están activados por defecto, lo que mejora cómo se ven ciertas transparencias sin tener que configurar nada.
Se eliminaron algunas opciones antiguas

👉 Estos cambios hacen que IceWM se adapte mejor a monitores modernos.

🖥️ IceWM 4.0.0 (salto importante) ❄️🚀

Esta sí es una actualización destacada:

Mejor compatibilidad con sistemas modernos
Correcciones de errores acumulados
Código más limpio y mantenible
Mayor estabilidad general del gestor de ventanas

👉 No es un rediseño radical, pero IceWM ahora es más sólido y preparado para el futuro, manteniendo su filosofía: rápido, liviano y simple ⚡

🖥️🎨 Nuevas actualizaciones en antiX / Debian

Llegan mejoras tanto para edición de imágenes como para el escritorio IceWM 👀✨

🎨 GIMP (2.10.34 → deb12u6)

🔒 Esta actualización no cambia cómo se ve ni cómo se usa GIMP, pero sí es importante:

Corrige fallos internos de seguridad y estabilidad
Evita problemas al abrir imágenes dañadas o poco comunes
Hace que el programa sea más confiable y seguro

IceWM 4.0 was released yesterday phoronix.com/news/IceWM-4.0-Re

In the spirit of that, here's a screenshot from my work computer in 2004 running Debian and IceWM. The main window is Firefox and very early Gmail. The Window List is open showing I have a huge number of xterms and gvim windows too.

#X11 #IceWM #Linux

Screenshot of an IceWM desktop from 2004. The main window is Firefox in Gmail showing a long-running thread with my friends from university. There is a Windows style task bar at the bottom of the screen with an IceWM button and several other windows in the bar. The window list is open, which lists a huge number of vim and xterm windows.

I tried #TWM #CWM #CTWM #FVWM and #evilWM as well as #IceWM . It appeared iceWM had so many features from background setting, panel/taskbar customization to window decoration styles and placement. Starting to wonder if it should be called a desktop environment #DE instead of window manager #WM .
