Quoth Dimitris Zervas: > So, why not use surf as the abstract layer I was thinking before
That is a terrible, terrible idea. surf has an OK interface, but webkitgtk is horrible, and the idea of using it for a base for anything but the web is absurd in a suckless context. Has anybody in this discussion used tcl/tk? I think the idea of defining some fifo based interface concept is generally going to lead to much more complexity than it solves (c.f. wmii vs. dwm). I wrote a few utilities a while ago which have an optional GUI written in tcl/tk, which reads the status from stdout to provide feedback. That works very well for the simple cases it needs. [0] Oh, and to come in on an earlier point that was made, TUI sucks, the only good thing about it is that TUI programs tend to have better keybindings and scriptability. 0. http://njw.me.uk/getxbook
