No, really. It's the center of my custom linux desktop. You can run a similar setup like described in the article with it, it replaces dwm just fine. Its preferences and winoptions are powerful enough.
- necrotic_comp 6y agooh! That's good to know. I just plopped it in there because I needed to get work done, and the start menu/desktop metaphor was enough to get me moving. I haven't even changed the defaults.
- onli 6y agoI think my very first FOSS project was a config program for icewm, written in bash and with xdialog. https://sourceforge.net/projects/ice-prefer/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/ice-prefer/. Horrible code of course (edit: Looking at it - not as horrible as I expected). But they might even still work, though I didn't use them in ages. ice-prefer for the settings, ice-win for the winoptions. Turns out that once my desktop was configured I didn't have much need for them. That was of course way before the current icewm fork that has a preferences menu in the start menu. The winoptions I still recommend looking into, especially pinning apps to one workspace is very useful. That's not too far into the "configure everything" category. The concept of ice-win (clicking on a window, then having all options visible and configurable) would still be useful for that.
