- bArray 5y agoI really believe that especially for something like a GUI, you should have a screenshot(s) on the readme. I am generally looking for a lighter Window Manager based on wm2 [1] [2]... I even began writing one myself as I got tired of the normal options being really heavy. Currently working on modernizing it for touch/mouse dual input (no mode switching). FYI, the last shipped wm2 has tonnes of performance bugs I have been slowly working through.

- bArray 5y agoVery nice, I appreciate the minimalism. Thank you for sharing!
- rnd0 5y agoIsn't that the default WM on NetBSD 9 and later now? That kind of confused me when I saw the article title -like, why go back to FVWM when there's CWM right there?
