[dev] wmii theming

Hello guys, I recently installed wmii on SUSE 11.4 and I really like it. MY question is very simple, how can I add themes to it. I tried to make a ~.wmii/wmii.rc file and add these lines there: #!/bin/sh -f # Configure wmii # Colors tuples: " " WMII_NORMCOLORS='#e0e0e0 #44 #66' WMII_FOCU

[dev] wmii status bar config

HI everybody! I'm happy to use wmii after tweaking some things, making autorun scripts and binding hotkeys, all is done. But I have another question. I want to config my status bar, I want it to show some terminal output of my sensors or any bash script. Now it displays 'average load, date and tim

Re: [dev] wmii status bar config

thanks a lot. ok, I'll check it out. I installed this version(3.9.2) from source, so decided not to mess with config.mk, edited only default terminal, other options were set by default, so I guess its where it was intended to be. And the name of wmii dir doesn't have any version embedded, its just

Re: [dev] wmii status bar config

Hi again, I'm trying to find out how to make a custom status bar in wmii. I have found "status()" lines in /home/wmii.rc file(hmmm what is it doing here?!) these is what I found: status() { Action status if wmiir remove /rbar/status 2>/dev/null; then echo "$WMII_NORMCOLORS" | wm

Re: [dev] [wmii] Chromium always starts as a floating window

its quite simple, 1. start chromium 2. goto preferences 3. goto personal stuff 4. in appearance choose use GTK-theme or "use system title bar and borders". 5. thats it that will make chromium start with system borders that are managed by wmii, so browser will not start in a floating window.

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

[dev] dwm taskbar config

Hi everybody, after using wmii for a week, I decided to try dwm, and liked it even MORE! But I have a question, how do I run some script output in my taskbar the way I did in wmiirc_local, I mean time, hdd space etc. I looked up config.h but didn't find anything there to look like bar config. I wi

Re: [dev] dwm taskbar config

Yeah, your variant is better, but why should I make exec dwm? when I log in via kde login manager?( I edited sysconfig, so my default wm is dwm) That is, when I see a login prompt I enter password and start dwm as default. When I make .xinitrc, dwm do not start, I can see only desktop empty screen.

Re: [dev] dwm taskbar config

well what I need, is a sample of somebody's config, without exec dwm? cause it is executed right after login by the system, I do not run "startx", I use KDE login manager to start dwm, so .xinitrc with "exec dwm" is useless, am I right?

Re: [dev] [wmii] Tabbed mode?

you can try dwm, that comes with simpler layout imho, but the principle of work is just the same. There is a taskbar at the top of the screen with prearranged (1,2,3,4) tags for window layouts. It is heavily hotkeyed, so works pretty fast. I seem to like it more that wmii. Dunno what kind of ta

Could somebody explain or help me how to set a dwm taskbar font properly, cause I'm tired of guessing what am I doing wrong: I run arch and added dwm via abs into my home dir. So here are my actions: 1. cd into dwm compile dir (cd Public/dwm_sync/dwm/) 2. ls Public/dwm_sync/dwm/ { config config.h

Recently I've bumped into a thread with a nice solution to takbar icons in dwm via editing any pcf font. So I converted pcf to bdf and with gbdfed util created some new icons.
