A very small Window manager
Basic window manager written in C in 45 lines of
X-code.
- gnosis 14y agoI've been very happy with i3 for some years now. It's minimalistic, stable, and easy to configure, but with enough features for it to be useful. smem shows it's using about 1.7 MB of dirty private memory on my system right now, and that's small enough for me. http://i3wm.org http://i3wm.org
- snogglethorpe 14y agoI love gnome-shell interface-wise, but it tends to be a real memory hog for something mostly just sits in the background and lets me switch windows (currently 1.1GB VM, 130MB RSS)...
- gnosis 14y agoi3 is not related to gnome or the gnome-shell in any way.
- snogglethorpe 14y agoI know; I'm just mentioning (ok, complaining about) something which goes in completely the opposite direction...
- nauticality 14y agoYes i know about it ... Our main is to be 50-100 kb with full configuration capability .. Basically total bones .. i dont need ANY fancy pants element
- burke 14y agowhile quite a bit more complex than this (2200 lines rather than 50), dwm[1] is a fairly complete tiling window manager, with extremely readable code. [1]: http://git.suckless.org/dwm/tree/dwm.c http://git.suckless.org/dwm/tree/dwm.c
- leoh 14y agoAny tips for compilation on Mac OS X? 20:23:46 $ gcc piwm.c -o piwm -lX11 -lXrandr ld: library not found for -lX11 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
- adrianpike 14y agoI believe you'll want this: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/ http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/ There may also be homebrew packages for the X11 headers/libs, but I believe XQuartz is the current popular way to do it.
