Hi there,
at work I have to use OSX (on a MacBook Pro 13") for various reasons
and wonder if anyone is using dwm in conjunction with OSX?
I tried different approaches so far, but all are really PITA.
The only approach I can envision is running arch in VirtualBox and
having a saner Linux environmen
I'm using MacPorts and XQuartz to run dwm on my air. It works ok, but
in the longterm I want to replace macos by linux.

In my impression running Linux natively on Mac hardware sucks -- tried
it on the MacBook Pro, but seems that Linux freeze
The only approach I can envision is running arch in VirtualBox and
having a saner Linux environment to work with. But I have no idea what
performance penalty that will be in regular use.
I use Arch Linux in a Virtualbox on my Windows laptop and there is no
noticeable performance penalty, only in

Not dwm, but wmii under XQuartz. You can run XQuartz in fullscreen, but
I ran into several problems and now I usually let it run in a separate

I've been wondering why nobody has said it yet:, so...

I tried for months on a macnook pro 5,5 at work. I wound up putting

Hi,
I've implemented configurable, dynamic, terminal colors in dvtm using
string matching rules similar to dwm's rules for determining tag, float,
and monitor settings for a window. It's common practice to use
background colors to visually keeping track of what server you're logged
in to, or for w
i had the same problem and it had to do with the chromium theme. i disabled
theme syncing and the problem went away.

I feel like I should add. This is not a Chrome only issue, any app that has
its own theming, loads up in "floating" mode, (ex: qmmp) Moreover, if you
open up such an application via MOD4+p and then try to open a terminal(for
ex.) in the same workspace that floating application is, terminal will loa

You can switch between the floating and the managed layer with Mod-Space.

Some people want to Get Stuff Done, and access to a typewriter isn't going

At the beggining I was using dwm+xterm on XQuartz, but it was pretty
inneficient and anoying.
then I switched to virtualbox+linux in fullscreen
and now im using iTerm2 which have support for splits and tabs and
keybindings can be configured in a similar way to dwm and fullscreensupport.
So .

They even manage to screw that up. The terminal application that
ships with OS X is completely worthless.

I have not
found any decent tiling (or even non-tiling) window manager for OSX. So I
stay in a fullscreen shell and ssh to the linux vm.
dwm works very, very wel

It is possible.. But i do t think it takes much sense. Mach/darwin is just slow
and bloat architecture. I would jst prefer netbsd or openbsd.. Or archlinux.
Btw. I think tht nexy port of dwm must be wayland. Somebody did any test with
it?

A friend of me managed to install ubuntu plus some hacks to make it work. The
issues were:
- power management not as good as in osx
- screen is not normal rgb setup (you have to add a specifix color scheme for
X11)
- wireless driver ( broadcom) is pure shit. It mostly works, but in powersave

this can be tweaked, and osx has an extremely naive time-remaining
alogrithm. it frequently reported seven hours of life and then
crapped its pants after four. I got nearly an hour more out of the
battery

Well if you need OS X-like support without the crap that is aqua
