I find the concept of the programmable, tiling, keyboard-focuessed window manager ion3 very appealing, but I think it takes some time to customize it to your needs until you can really evaluate this totally different UI-concept. Therefore, I would like to read reviews of people who tried it for a longer time as environment for programmi...
My machine is seriously underpowered, and I think I need to start conserving every spare cycle. I know that my Gnome environment seems to underperform compared to my coworkers' KDE setups. But if I'm going to make that big of a switch, I might as well consider running something even lighter. Is it possible to survive on a lightweight ...
Hi, This is not a programming question per se, but this is certainly about something which would help increasing my programming productivity. In KDE, one can assign short-cuts to particular windows. This eliminates alt-tabbing completely and, is very very convenient when multiple apps(browser, console, emacs etc) are open. My question ...
I'm starting to code up my own window manager, and was wondering how to use the xorg api to get from raw image data ( such as the data given by libpng ), into an Xorg Pixmap or something drawable by Xorg? ...
Gnome, KDE, Fluxbox, IceWM, XFce, etc. etc. These are desktop environments/window managers that have been around a long time. I'd love to know about some of the 'cutting edge' desktop environments/window managers out there. Ones that maybe make use of 3D in a useful way. Or ones that make use of other forms of input such as touchscreens...
If I wanted to write my own window manager for OS X (please dont respond with "whats the point"??), what APIs should I be looking at? ...
Programming is at the heart about automating tasks on a computer. Presumably those tasks would normally be done manually by a human. Humans use the computer through the keyboard, mouse, and interaction with the console or the window manager. But very few languages have built in functions that provide an interface to these basic computin...
I realize this is a program switcher key combo in most OSs. Is there a possibility of capturing such an event in the web page via JavaScript? ...
I want to make a window manager in either of these languages (Preferably ruby). I honestly have no idea where to start except that I will need some kind of X module to load. So if anyone has a clue it would be great if you could point me in the right direction. Thanks ...
Here's my code: #import <ApplicationServices/ApplicationServices.h> CGEventRef myCGEventCallback(CGEventTapProxy proxy, CGEventType type, CGEventRef event, void *refcon) { printf("%u\n", (uint32_t)type); return event; } int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) { CFMachPortRef eventTap; CFRunLoopSourceRef runLoopSource; even...
One of my new home projects will be a simple Window Manager, but before start I need to know some things: Which is the best language to do this? Where to get some resources to learn? ...
Hi, I am using the freeglut OpenGL api to create an opengl context. The window that is created is through the glutCreateWindow() function.. I want that somehow the resulting window is made un-movable/un-draggable and un-resizable.. any way to achieve this? Thanks. ...
Hi all, I have a Linux-only wxPython application with a wxFrame that acts as a menu/toolbar, it can open up new windows that are independent of the toolbar itself. Since the user can move any of these windows to any virtual workspace, I'm looking for a way to move the toolbar to the current workspace whenever the user activates a window....
Hello, i have a simple question, i search the exact name of the window manager for Windows. For Unix : X Window System Mac : Quartz Windows : ? Thanks you. ...
We want to quickly prototype widgets in Java. We overlay them on top of a display written in a proprietary 3rd party graphics package. We find that the Java GUI steals keyboard focus away from the window manager. The window manager is fvwm, I've tried configuring it so the Java app is setup not to get focus, and furthermore if it ever...
Just wondering if there's a known way of getting a Mono System.Windows.Forms application to go fullscreen on Ubuntu/Gnome. Mono is 2.4.2.3 Ubuntu is 9.10 Doing it on Windows requires a pinvoke, clearly not going to work here. This is what I get setting window border to none, window position to centre, and state to maximised: Update...
I'm trying to make the change here: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Howto_Make_dblclick_titlebar_maximize I am using the current git version of the fluxbox source. I assume that those instructions are perhaps no longer valid for the current git version. In the void FluxboxWindow::setupWindow() function I can see no references ...
