Re: [dwm] Getting a List of Installed Applications in System

Now, the question he had was is there some sort of application menu that lists all the installed apps? Like the kicker for KDE or its similar GNOME/Fluxbox counterpart? I did not have an answer for him...I did a search on aptitude but the only thing I found was the debian 'menu' package but I am not sure how to use that. Any ideas? Thanks, Amit In my repository it is still present a debdmenu script, which uses debian menu system with dmenu. I wrote it quite a time ago and I'm not using it.

Re: [dwm] A rather radical thought
On Wednesday 02 of April 2008 19:47:30 voltaic wrote: I agree. For me, the major distinction between DWM and the other window managers has been the use of tags instead of workspaces. I also don't like the idea of moving windows around columns. I think the zoom function is a sufficient mode of manipulating windows (between master/slave areas). I feel like the navigation within the columns would make the window manager less dynamic, as the user would have to (or feel obligated to) keep rearranging windows.

Re: [dwm] Mouse over tile ...

[dwm] Mouse over tile ...
Hi! Today I spent a few hours working under Xmonad window manager. Curiosity ... There was one feature I found quite useful: When you use mouse to move or resize a tiled client, the touched client becomes floating and you are free to do it. It feeled logical and very natural for me. Note that I'm not talking about changing tiled porportions with mouse; here I prefer keyboard. What do others think about this?

Re: [dwm] I pused the new tile() into hg tip
Hi! After an hour working with the latest tip I must agree with Giorgio. I do not feel comfortable with the new arrangement of windows, especially in the stack area and I doubt this uncomfortableness is due only to my lack of flexibility. As Giorgio said, I cannot find a scenario of work where this arrangement would fit, let alone help. On the other side, it feels nice to me that the RATIO controls arrangement on master area and the master:stack area ratio simultaneosly. This way you can quickly resize the main client on master area in both directions. On Fri, Aug 03, 2007 at 07:25:22PM +0200, Anselm R. Garbe wrote: I pushed my new tile() implementation into hg tip.

Re: [dwm] Applying fibonacci or golden ratio to tile()?
Hi, I think this is generally a nice idea. However, I would rather see this only on master area. I usually mainly focus on clients on master area. Clients on stack area are there either for monitoring something or are waiting to get focus (via moving to them and Alt-Enter-ing) and are thus equally (un)important. One thing to consider is also that if stack area would be arranged unequally-like, there will sooner or later be a need for function(ality) to alter positions of clients within stack area, not affecting the master area.

Re: [dwm] slock fails
My experience: It segfaults constantly on two amd64 machines (slock compiled from sorce), but works without problem on a variety (~10) of Intel machines in our company (my deb package). I have similar experiences regularly. I can't alway reproduce them, but it's there. slock seems to segfault sometimes. I didn't bother looking into it yet, but it's definitely a problem for a security related app. Peace, -- Damjan Vrenčur ~ http://lmmri.fri.uni-lj.si/damjan/ ~ GPG key: C6A3146F
