Suckless inspired my naming of sxi: https://github.com/serprex/sxi https://github.com/serprex/sxi & dwm served as the base from which I learnt to create nobox: https://github.com/serprex/nobox https://github.com/serprex/nobox Good stuff. Though seeing dwm have a null-check-before-free made me squirm. Have been using st for awhile now, it's nice, bit of a hassle to get backspace working & I sometimes miss being able to scroll back over console output The only-one-file philosophy seemed to be a bit of a hassle where st had to turn down a wayland patch. One would think that it could be split into st-common.c, st-x11.c, & st-wl.c where the rendering backend is abstracted stalin is neat but I personally feel using git to distribute binaries suboptimal. I'd prefer if there was a /build directory where one could git clone submodules & run a /build/install.sh to update the system. But that'd be something else by then I suppose & I haven't looked into it _that_ much to really critique surf seems like a cop out using webkit

  Not really. It's chromeless, doesn't render anything. So you boot into a black screen & Alt+Q opens st in the upper left corner (this could change by modifying nobox's st invocation with geometry options) I have st invoked in my xinitrc so that st is open as soon as I start nobox. I don't use a file manager so everything I do happens through st besides opening firefox with Alt+A or showing time with Alt+C (I use to have more shortcuts but over time have reduced my usage. I use to have Alt+S to open SciTE but have since transitioned to vim) Anyways since you asked here's a screenshot I took just now after having opened GIMP: http://imgur.com/pjSe3pN http://imgur.com/pjSe3pN Since nobox isn't a tiling window manager it doesn't have any issues running GIMP in multi-window mode, besides my preference for unique mode: http://imgur.com/Qf2PvhO http://imgur.com/Qf2PvhO
