        I applied !dwm statuscolors patch and made it perfect. Now to adjust my script to display colors in dwm bar...

          !til that right mouse click on !dwm bar, where i echo xsetroot from one script, starts terminal (urxvt in my case).

            Okay, Arch time now. Any suggestions for new WMs to try out?

              @kevie Really no more Gentoo for you?

              @lstench TBH I broke my Gentoo install recently by fiddling some settings and testing an unknown overlay, fixing it may take time

              @psquid the major attraction of notion to me is that it gets out of your way and lets you get on with what you really want o be doing.

            Dear !lazyweb - how can I enable middle mouse click emulation in !linux without meddling with xorg.conf ?

              @gerlos You're probably right, but this is for when I'm using !dwm - should've said I'm not using a DE!

              @mcnalu Try xdotool or xautomation. Can bind the command to keyboard or mouse in Openbox, maybe dwm too?

            • mcnalu mcnalu John

              @johnraff Bingo! xdotool+xbindkeys has let me employ the otherwise useless window button as an alternative middle click - thanks!

                @mcnalu I always liked that about kde. On the same token, it drove me nuts! I've found contentment in scrotwm's simplicity as of late.

              A few days with !dwm and I'm hooked. Incredibly functional in its simplicity. Truly amazing, 'make clean install' in 5 seconds on ultra 60

              removed push.c from my !dwm. much less distracted with window placement now. I'm becoming more convinced that vanilla dwm is nearly perfect.

                "To understand everything else, start reading main()." This comment at the start of !dwm source strikes as good advice about life in general
