a look at evilwm; chances are you'll like it I think.

I've tried it, but it never sat well with me. I couldn't name why.

I used larswm for a very long time, but when my desktop size grew to multiple monitors and the management policy didn't handle it satisfactorily, I swapped to one of the more mainstream managers.

Fast forward a year or two where I stumble on dwm completely by chance. Saw someone describe it as using the "best features" of larswm, and I couldn't help but try it.

Was instantly hooked, regardless of the ordering quirks.


I got a little bit into fixing the z-ordering, but it's been years since I've done X11 work and the stuff I was writing was ugly (plus it doesn't compile). Then I got busy at work, etc, etc. So it's sat for weeks until this thread reminded me about it.
