@gnome Please also include in #accessibilty poor folks who only have access to old #lowspec computers. I love the #gnome design but often have to install a distro using xorg with #jwm or #icewm for these folks. Please have options to reduce gnome memory usage to run like 300MB or lower. Lowest Ive been able to achieve is around 900MB on Alpine which was still a lot for my cousin's 3GB RAM laptop.

🌿 Mi termómetro respira en verde 💚

RGB(0.2, 0.8, 0.2)
cuando Río Gallegos marca 11°C

No es el azul del frío
ni el rojo del calor extremo.
Es el verde del equilibrio perfecto,
la temperatura justa
pintada en píxeles cairo.

Un color que susurra:
aquí, ahora, todo está bien ✨

I just tested the IceWM 4.0 update on Chimera. I have a fondness for IceWM as it was the first WM I ran on my work computer in my first job out of university. Great to see it still seeing new releases. Here it is running on my little loongarch64 box.

@dennyhenke Currently #Gnome, but anything goes as I've been using Linux as my only OS since 1998. I used for a while #KDE but I just can't bring myself to like it, #WindowMaker, #IceWM, #Enlightenment @macthemes

On Jan 6, the #VendefoulWolf #Linux maintainers released a new ISO with #IceWM and #XLibre by default. According to them, it boots very fast and uses only ~200 MB RAM. You can read more about this #Devuan based distribution at vendefoul-wolf-linux.sourceforge.io. #XingsDay

🚀 Nueva feature en mi proyecto Conky weather para AntiX / IceWM

Agregué monitoreo de radiación UV usando la API de @openmeteo , incluyendo:
• UV actual
• UV máximo diario
• Hora del pico de radiación

Todo ligero, en Bash y pensado para hardware modesto 🐧

Conclusión:

IceWM 4.0 prepara el terreno
Conky ya estaba listo
picom pone la última pieza

👉 Ahora la transparencia real sí es posible en antiX.

#antix + #iceWM (4.0) + #picom = #conky (con fondo transparente)

🧵 HILO | IceWM 4.0 + Conky + picom en antiX 🧊🐧
(Transparencias reales, sin inflar el sistema)

🪟✨
Con la llegada de IceWM 4.0 en antiX hay un cambio importante:
👉 ahora el gestor de ventanas soporta RGBA de 32 bits y alpha blending por defecto.

Esto no agrega efectos…
pero deja de bloquearlos 👀

#antiX #Debian #Linux #IceWM #SoftwareLibre #Actualizaciones #FLOSS #conky

🖥️ IceWM 4.0.0 (salto importante) ❄️🚀

🎨 Apariencia y gráficos actualizados

La transparencia (alpha blending) y el modo RGBA de 32 bits ahora están activados por defecto, lo que mejora cómo se ven ciertas transparencias sin tener que configurar nada.
Se eliminaron algunas opciones antiguas

👉 Estos cambios hacen que IceWM se adapte mejor a monitores modernos.

🖥️ IceWM 4.0.0 (salto importante) ❄️🚀

Esta sí es una actualización destacada:

Mejor compatibilidad con sistemas modernos
Correcciones de errores acumulados
Código más limpio y mantenible
Mayor estabilidad general del gestor de ventanas

👉 No es un rediseño radical, pero IceWM ahora es más sólido y preparado para el futuro, manteniendo su filosofía: rápido, liviano y simple ⚡

🖥️🎨 Nuevas actualizaciones en antiX / Debian

Llegan mejoras tanto para edición de imágenes como para el escritorio IceWM 👀✨

🎨 GIMP (2.10.34 → deb12u6)

🔒 Esta actualización no cambia cómo se ve ni cómo se usa GIMP, pero sí es importante:

Corrige fallos internos de seguridad y estabilidad
Evita problemas al abrir imágenes dañadas o poco comunes
Hace que el programa sea más confiable y seguro

In the spirit of that, here's a screenshot from my work computer in 2004 running Debian and IceWM. The main window is Firefox and very early Gmail. The Window List is open showing I have a huge number of xterms and gvim windows too.

＂… Nearly two dozen different Windows-like UIs represents a titanic waste of programmer effort, skill, and time. Hundreds, maybe thousands of people, working hard for decades… but all on different projects, meaning that none of them achieve greatness. …＂
