#fvwm #cow #wayland

More from me!

This time, icons...

With this change, icons are now more of a first-class citizen in CoW.

It's possible to assign icons (either SVG or PNG) to windows, via the `decor` command.

The cow(!) man page has a dedicated icon section so you can see how to do that.

By default, cow ships with an icon which mimics what MWM has.

Icons can now be moved around the desktop, and windows remember their icon position.

The new icon-reset command will put icons back to their default position, which is managed by cow. This is similar to the `PlaceAgain icon` command from #fvwm and #fvwm3

Enjoy!

Hello all,

fvwm3-1.1.5 has been released.

See:

https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3/releases/tag/1.1.5

This is mostly a bug-fix release. FvwmPrompt has been simplified which I hope eases issues with downstream maintainers.

FvwmConsole has now gone -- use FvwmCommand or FvwmPrompt.

Enjoy!

CoW has now gained a new "module" -- cowident.

The image below shows what it does. When you run it, it will force you to select a window to then report properties on.

It's analogous to FvwmIdent from #fvwm3

Not the sexiest thing in the world, I know, but maybe useful both for those tweaking their config, and for diagnostic purposes.

That's why #FvwmIdent was created -- to allow for diagnostics.

Let's play spot the difference!

One, both, or none of two screenshots are from fvwm3.

Can you guess which?

If not, could you maybe guess is one of the screenshots is based on wayland? ;)

In all seriousness, I'm trying to emulate the fvwm/mwm look in #hikari -- and I think the results are impressive, especially if you can't tell which image is from which #wm.

Throwing this out there, I guess: anyone have a suggestion for a Fvwm3 replacement in Wayland? I’m having trouble finding a comparatively minimal Wayland compositor with the same kind of low-level flexibility—and, as stupid as it is, the capability to look like a hybrid between CDE and Window Maker. #fvwm #fvwm3 #wayland #linux

@kerravonsen @LovesTha Yes, fvwm isn't a tiling window manager, but in #fvwm3, we've put some interesting changes into FvwmRearrange which you might find interesting.

Furthermore, there's always been this:

Maximize grow grow

Which you bound to a key, for instance, would maximise the given window to fill the available space. In this way you can quickly "tile" windows.

I've released fvwm3 version 1.1.4

Changelog/release is here:

https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3/releases/tag/1.1.4

Not too much to write home about, other than a few improvements to RandR, as well as a change to make FvwmForm more UTF8-aware.

Thanks to everyone who helped contribute to this release, it's appreciated!

Enjoy!

@seatek Out of interest, with a monitor such as yours, does that allow itself to two independent monitors?

If not, you can use xrandr(1) to split the screen up however you like -- is that something you've be interested in doing? If so, #fvwm3 supports this just fine...

I’m sick of fighting just to get even simple automated window geometries to work consistently and sanely with #Wayland.

So I went back to the roots and discovered there is actually an #FVWM3 now!

Perfect geometries. Everything under control. Lightning fast and light. And even sound is way better directly through ALSA.

Funny how it feels amazing for my computer to work for me again, instead of me trying in vain to work with it.
