This thread has become longer than the wmii source code nearly ;) And it is not really hard to conclude that translucent terminals are bad for your eyes. After a short phase of being enthusiastic about the look, you will concentrate on real work hopefully and then it just feels wrong. Translucent terminals were used at times to _mislead_ Windows or Mac people during the 90s because their environment didn't provide such "feature" (well for a good reason, but that didn't stop the Stockholm syndrome to develop). Having said this, I fully understand the metaphor of AIDS in this respect. The idea of translucent terminals spread like a genital desease.

The default shortcut to close a window is really bad. Something used that often shouldn't be as complex as Mod-Shift-C.

dillo is better than netsurf even though it uses fltk. For everything else on x86 you can use an old static opera (newer also want qt iirc). Netsurf is a pile of shit. Does nobody use slow CPUs and RAM < 128Mb any more???

Incorrect. Your desires are based on a misunderstanding of dwm. You have a 'layout' (this is floating, tiled, monocle, etc) and then you have 'tags'. Tags are used to determine which set of clients to display. Layouts are used to determine how displayed clients are arranged. Reordering windows within a layout is pointless, because when you are displaying two tags, and then toggle a third, what determines in which order the newly-displayed clients are arranged? If you only display one tag at a time, you're not using dwm properly. If you want wmii, you know where to find it. dwm's current interface is basically sound, and while people temporarily patch it up to make it act like a regular 'workspaces' window manager, most people I know eventually stop doing that as they realize how superior dwm's interface is. There isn't really another program out there that has this functionality in such a clean implementation -- dwm is the standard dynamic window manager. -- # Kurt H Maier

And memcached seems to me like a complicated nontransparent cache with tcp/ip interface. complicated? is the most simple implementation for storing data. why non transparent? it's rather simple. What is all this stuff good for? you have O(1) times to access the information, you can build any data structure on top of a keyvalue database, you can use it from shell, as a library from C or networkedly using netcat or a memcache client. it's stupidly simple to replicate memcache-like servers and it's lightweight. what i did in sdb is a hashtable (memory) database which syncs to disk using a slightly modified version of cdb. it is just faster than any other implementation out there.the only problem is that the disk database is always fully replaced atomically. this means that if you have zillions of rows it will take some seconds to write to disk instead of just updating what has been modified. You can split up the key space with namespaces, so you can create a pseudo-tree structure like in cassandra, and get better scaling times. or use different databases for each key group.. and get faster times for listing the whole database. Also key expiration times are not yet implemented..but it would be just simple to do. I also write a vala interface for it, this means that if you use 'valaswig' you can just build bindings for sdb for python, ruby, perl, lua, java, ... but that's not really suckless at all :P --pancake

Someone without any knowledge of C or English will actually pick me up with a small bus in a few hours. Must be coincidence I guess. I'm asking because some of the core developers have been asking on their mailing list what other fast and light toolkit to use. You know I don't want to start a stupid war, but perhaps some of you should tell them what you know? Netsurf on my TV takes ages to load a *simple* page and opera - does it run on MIPS?

Considering the history of some other Suckless projects (correct me if I am wrong), like wmii that evolved from Rio, and which subsequently spawned dwm, perhaps a similar evolution starting from abaco would be possible? On the other hand - why discuss choice of a browser for an experimental base system? As far as I see it, the browser is not part of the base system and should be optional (as long as there is some way, package manager or other solution) to to get it and to build it from the base.
