#afterstep — Public Fediverse posts

Installed Power #MachTen 4.1.4 and upgraded to 5.0.5. After startup I got reminded quickly that backspace didn't erase characters but 'stty erase "^H"' fixed that.

MachTen is bundled with #afterstep but very few other binaries. and compiling OpenSSL might take some time...

Does anyone know any repo of precompiled #ppc binaries for this platform?

What are people's thoughts on the future of #X11 ?

The #Linux world is turning it's back on X in order to adopt #wayland

I suspect that similar things are getting to critical mass in the #BSD world.

Is X going to disappear entirely? Become super niche? Become abandoned? Remember xfree86?

I look to old window managers like #Openbox, #fvwm, #afterstep, and others and get all "misty eyed" about what will be lost.

@BrodieOnLinux FVWM is/was great. I started using more or less when it started and I've used it as recently as 2022 on some custom embedded "carputer" type devices. Totally themeable/strippable/placeable.

Would like to see a #wayland version but... probably won't happen.

Had a stint of using #afterstep for a number of years. On an Intel Pentium dual P90 homebuilt. Ha!

@osnews Still running #FVWM here after all those years. I used to use #KDE a lot (still use the applications), have tried #Gnome several times. Used #Awesome for a bit… #WindowMaker, #AfterStep… #FVWM I keep coming back to.

I basically have it mostly configured as a manual tiling window manager through a couple of keyboard shortcuts that allow me to open windows full-screen, ½-screen or ¼-screen.

This has worked well for over 10 years now.

#x11cp #x11 #archaic application.

This time, it's #xsclock which is a 56x56 #dockapp intended to be used in #afterstep's wharf module, but equally applies to #fvwmbuttons as well.

Originally written by Namio MATUDA, around 1999-Nov-24. The version I have here is 0.22

There is only one option `--day` which shows the day/month in the window.

Screenshots attached.

Also I couldn't finish my magnum opus theme which would've lifted #afterstep onto a completely new level visually because sasha didn't want to implement a feature I needed for that…

It was an extremely sleek yin-yang theme with silver and black using aftersteps shaped windows and came with a fitting wallpaper. Probably the one project of mine that I miss backups of the most… :/

12 years ago, I made the best #afterstep themes in existence and I didn't even release them… :<

Back then, the artwiz-aleczapka fonts were *big* in the desktop customization scene – I also made a couple of fluxbox themes using them.

Also, take note that the whole system including desktop and filemanager took only 90M memory, partly because I had a hyper-customized kernel that had just the stuff my machine supported and *nothing* else.

@yuki_is_bored I used to have one that did nothing but display the HAL 9000 eye, but I think that was in #afterstep, I don't think I had that anymore by the time I'd moved to #windowmaker. 23 years ago?

@Wolf480pl Heh, this is mostly for me – has been my aspiration since I wrote my first system monitoring tool that rendered to an #afterstep-specific format in the '00s.

I'm really enjoying dataviz and I have enough design knowledge to make this look super fucking fancy, which makes this project pretty rewarding for me.

But yeah, pretty sure I'll brag about it once its done. ;)
