window manager

GNOME Merge Requests Opened That Would Drop X.Org Session Support Officially we have wayland port but the work is seems to lack a little bit So will KDE and Xfce and other desktop manager transit to wayland

Today when I booted and logged in and ran "startxfce4", I got a broken XFCE desktop session, where windows had no borders or titles, no keyboard focus, etc. This kind of problem was known to me, and can otherwise be reproduced, by eg. setting the LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH environment variable to the...

With a nice Wayfire Tutorial here in the forum, I was wondering if anyone has gathered any similar experience with Hyprland on FreeBSD already? x11-wm/hyprland and supplementary ports have been added at the end of last year and are kept up-to-date, but I could not really find any info /...

Decided to give Cwm a shot, and one thing I notice right off the bat is it doesn't seem to utilize my screens full refresh-rate (144hz) when dragging windows across the screen. It's like a clunky 60hz. While this isn't a huge issue and I can obviously deal with it I wanted to ask if any Cwm...

Hi, about two months ago I created a thread asking for some help installing DWM to freeBSD 13 in a virtual machine. My main issue at that point was that I didn't have X running properly. I've come back and finally installed FreeBSD to hardware and I've gotten a bit farther this time. I've...

I'm curious because it's a pretty unique combination with Wayland on FreeBSD. I've taken a look from time to time but never tried it myself (and I have to admit that I'm not even running FreeBSD yet, because I wanted to wait for "13" to give it a first spin on my new laptop). For me the...

I would like to give me some help about how to configure themes on dwm i have seen some themes and need some help and also if there is a complete guide to dwm (or i3) themes and patches that would be nice. Also my last testing with freebsd was with freebsd 13 and kde plasma i installed every...

Hi everyone! I am trying to set the background to my fresh awesome window manager running on a raspberry pi V2. FreeBSD raspito 11.0-STABLE FreeBSD 11.0-STABLE #0 r309771: Sat Dec 10 06:15:58 UTC 2016 root@releng2.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/arm.armv6/usr/src/sys/RPI2 arm I followed...

Not sure if this is a configuration issue, or if there is legitimately something wrong. 1) Installed Xorg no problems. Default window manager boots and works as intended. 2) Built awesome window manager. No errors on build. 3) Configured .xinitrc as such: xterm & exec awesome 4) Run...

Ok, I have been browsing this forum (and others) looking for a solution to my problem, but I didn't find anything relevant, so maybe someone will be able to help me out. Like the title suggests, I have some issues with the "vicious" module for using widgets in the Awesome Window Manager. There...

Why isn't there one unified screenshot thread? Anyways I didn't find an AwesomeWM thread so dwm was the closest I could get :\

I can't stand people who claim their thing is so well documented when it's not. I read all the awesome documentation and after spending almost a whole day with this frustrating thing I can't even get a simple application to run. I can type firefox3 from the terminal and it runs but I can't...
