Re: [dev] flash fullscreen issue (dwm-5.7.2)

Used to have this issue back when I was using flash. The problem is kinda weird. The site is designed such that when the window doesn't have focus, it closes. Therefore, you need to continue to give the Window focus. Since dwn gives focus in a sane way (to the mouse, and keeps focus on the old w

Re: [dev] Suckless design in Games

I do not believe there's a suckless games library. The world of game coding is a different animal, and the libraries do what they say, we hope, and so we use them. It depends on the game. Most games want an Object Oriented Language, simply because the OO design is the best for something dealing

Re: [dev] [dmenu] Patch for XDG Base Directory specification of dmenu_path

You do both. Ideally you SSH into a machine running a NFS mounted home directory on your own notebook. Of course, in that case, you're likely not running dmenu, or even X. Or that's my experience, at least. On 4 January 2011 09:11, Anselm R Garbe wrote: > On 4 January 2011 14:56, Gregor Best wro

Re: [dev] dwm battery level alarm system

I'd just get the current life of the battery (as you would normally pipe it to xsetroot, using acpi or whatnot), then, if you want a popup window, check the state everytime you update the rootname, and pipe something to Zenity if it is at 10% or less. If it is at 0% run 'zzz' (or however you suspen

That was what I was looking for! ratmen is pretty good at this. Likely more visual than dmenu, although basically the same thing. http://www.update.uu.se/~zrajm/programs/ --Sean On 28 January 2011 11:24, Julien Jehannet wrote: >> * Michael [28-janv.-2011 16:26]: >> Hello. >> >> What program d

I use OpenBSD. It can grow quickly if you want it to, and it can be run on a VAX if you want it to. What performance need do you have that makes OpenBSD not worth it? When I am going to be throwing a system together without OpenBSD then I tend to use Debian. --Sean On 11 February 2011 13:34, Be

What do you mean by this? If Conky outputs as text, you can send it's output to a constantly updating xrootconsole (sorta hackish and not very pretty, and likely you need to install xrootconsole) (printing out_to_console=yes and out_to_x=no). I don't use the program myself, but I think I can see w

Re: [dev] [wmii] running script on 'desktop'?

Ah - sorry. Reread the wmiirc. It uses xsetroot to set the background. Therefore running a program in the root window (examples: xrootconsole, xmoon, xpenguins, or xfireworks) will happen over top of that. On 22 March 2011 11:08, Sean Howard wrote: > http://sourceforge.net/projects/xrootcons

Firstly: you are not closing one of the three nested loops. Secondly: You don't need that many loops, just one infinite loop should be fine. Also, that "&" makes it so it both runs dwm AND continues the loop, this is a good thing. Thirdly:: calling dwm is not a good idea inside any of the loops Fou

Firefox reads it just fine. I get the .c in the browser. What web browser are you using? (I typically use a combination of xxxterm, lynx, and firefox. I am at work though, so only Firefox is available). Also - the point of a web browser is to read the web - if you want it to dump everything raw

wrote a filesystem for a joke, but never even entered Linux, much less suckless. Is that not the kind of audience we want to engage? People who see the problem, but not the solution? I see Suckless as attempting to maintain the idea of Computer Programming as craft, a work of a pure mind, and not as simply hacking out letters and symbols until it compiles. Is that idea not a good one? --Sean Howard
