I used for about a year IceWM and I loved everything in it (I always have a single window in full screen) besides the fact that it resized a simple modal boxes (e.g. firefox asking for proxy credentials) to full screen, which was really ugly.
If I would switch (from XFCE) to xmonad, would it do such strange things to small modal boxes? I don't like to split my screen, I always have windows if full screen.
- keithpeter 14y agoDo you know about XFCE and Alt-F11? The Alt-F11 keyboard shortcut (and the corresponding title bar menu command) in XFCE remove the window decorations and maximise what is left, so you get (say) the Web browser menu bar right at the top of the screen and the window covers any panels top and bottom.
- krzyk 14y agoI didn't know about that shortcut, it's really nice :) But I still plan to test xmonad and see if it be a good fit for me.
- onli 14y agoThat probably was a misconfiguration. IceWM has never done this on my system. Maybe you want to give it another chance :) (I'm very happy using IceWM without taskbar, but with simdock, conky for date/time and cpu/network-monitor and stalonetray)
