Hello people, before anything I would like to apologize for those times when not to much content was uploaded as I've had to deal with real life.

I've been manually posting new releases whenever get notified on my phone which has made me miss some important ones when not actively checking the phone. But not to worry because I just noticed lemmy.zip offers an RSS bot.

Please comment below what Window Manager releases would you like to be added to the feed, other content like feeds from news sites may be added aswell.

This community's purpose is to band together users, new users and soon to be users of different window managers and help each other out on Lemmy.

As of now I have been subscribing to respective release feeds and the likes to receive fresh updates and post them here, and also some beginner guides I have been brewing for some time now.

Feel free to post anything related and even barely related.

Not expecting this community to grow large as window managers are a comparatively a niche topic, but at least to keep it real and organic.

For any questions or ideas you can send me direct message.

If there is more than one window in current frame, cycle them. Else, go to previous workspace aka tag :

super=Mod4
hc keybind $super-Tab                                           \
            or , and . compare tags.focus.curframe_wcount ge 2  \
                     . cycle +1                                 \
               , use_previous

Wired

Wired is light and fully customizable notification daemon that provides you with powerful and extensible layout tools.

Features

  • Layout - position every element how you want it, see wiki for more info.
  • Programmable and Interactable Layout Elements - code your own or use layout elements from wired and contributors (accepting pull requests!).
    • Text blocks which scroll.
    • Backgrounds which reflect state (paused, active, extended, etc).
    • Layout elements can fire events on click (open url, etc).
    • More soon.
  • First Class Mouse Actions - close, pause, and open urls within a notification with a click.
    • Open an issue if you have ideas of more actions.
  • Every notification is a different window - pretty sick of stuff only being able to show one notification at a time honestly.
