Le Tian made a question and introduced me to a new tiling window manager in one sentence. Everyone else in this thread is a fucking asshole for wasting my time.

Re: [dev] revolution
I did it, because just recently have met a guy, who was insisting that it is better because this and that. I'm not a specialist to judge the quality of any WM by browsing its code. So I hoped that ppl on the mailing list do have enough competence and patience to deal with this kind of easy and naive question. On 6/11/11, pmarin wrote: > @ Le Tian, Calm down.

Re: [dev] revolution
@ Le Tian, Calm down. You should have asked about our opinion about WMFS and why you like it instead of if It is better or worse than DWM. Always is interesting to know what other people are doing. I think it is not trolling, you simply asked the wrong question. Cheers. Pmarin.

We get questions like this a lot: "how is better or worse than dwm?" Let me put it this way: do you need runtime configuration, Xft, EMWH, Imlib2, and a systray? I don't, and I use tagging, so I think it's worse. What should I say, "it's worse because it's bloated and lacks tagging"? Clearly you disagree. So why not try the window manager and find out for yourself how it is better or worse for you? cls
Re: [dev] revolution
Kurt - I think you need to rethink your definition of "Troll". He simply asked a question. Regardless of whether you agree with the idea of the window manager in question, he didn't make some fallacious statement regarding DWM or any other suckless tools - he's simply asking for opinions. There is a sizable minority of DWM users (myself included) that use DWM's tags as workspaces. Yes, it's 'wrong' in regards to how the window manager is INTENDED to be used - but that's what's nice about *MY* computer - it's mine and I can use what software I want as I see fit. Not everyone *NEEDS* to the 'dynamic' from 'dynamic window manager' . I know I don't - I prefer DWM over any other window manager for other reasons besides the concept of tagging. No one implied that WMFS was anything 'special' - but rather that it took some ideas from DWM and changed them up a bit. It sits on a middle ground between dynamic tiling window managers and a lightweight floating WM. (Honestly, look at it like a tiling openbox and you'll get a better idea of it's capabilities)
Re: [dev] revolution
Why are you people falling for this troll? WMFS has nothing to do with dwm, it's just another tiling static window manager. From its website: " * A Tag is actually a workspace. " Witthout dwm's tagging concept, there is nothing special here. You can identify such window managers by their EWMH compliance. EWMH requirements are incompatible with true tagging, and tagging is the concept that puts the 'dynamic' in 'dynamic window manager'. -- # Kurt H Maier
Re: [dev] revolution
WMFS simply feels like DWM++, which is an unpopular concept in these parts I honestly liked it quite a bit. It takes DWM's window management concepts and tacks on some convenience features that are nice to have, but not essential. It DOES have a systray, but it was useless for me (as I'm used to DWM's ways) but the simple fact that it has a full config file was nice. I didn't stick with it as it didn't have the layouts I wanted though.

Seem to be more and more tiling capable window managers out there, the best though from experience are (in no particular order) wmii Euclid-wm dwm Jase On 10 Jun 2011 20:13, "hiro" <23h...@googlemail.com> wrote: I haven't heard about it yet. I don't like it's name though.

It sucks, it includes a systray, you control it with vi-like keys, which is as fast riding a snail cross country, and it's huge in terms of sloc. On Jun 10, 2011 10:58 AM, "Le Tian" wrote:
