Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #windowmaker, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Next up:

    * update my websites. have lots of content that is waiting.

    * maybe #VibeCode a #Fluxbox replacement? I love Fluxbox, have been on it for years, but like the #WindowMaker #Dockapps, it is pretty much finished, and I worry it will eventually be unmaintained. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any similar stacking window managers. Of course, vibecoding an x11 window manager --- what could possibly go wrong? (Everything. Everything could go wrong.) So, we'll see how that goes.

  2. Tempted to take my theme from y2k blue to antique autumn.

  3. This seems like an almost complete copy of the MacOS user interface.

    It's using #GNUStep but not #WindowMaker

    Interesting to see that it's being targeted as a #FreeBSD desktop environment, although of course it also runs on #Linux

  8. I had completely forgotten about the Window Maker Live Linux distribution, currently based on Debian 13.3. Back in the day, Window Maker was, by far, my favorite. I think I'll download this latest release and give it a try. Honestly, technology just isn't as fun as it used to be. Maybe running this distro again will light a spark for me.

  13. continuing to work on #WindowMaker style #DockApps for #Fluxbox. Currently have:
    * fluxCalClock
    * fluxMatrix
    * fluxMoon
    * fluxData (for moon and weather data)
    * fluxKeyboardLayout
    * fluxPowerControl
    * fluxMail
    and
    * fluxPlayer

    fluxPlayer is not working well yet, but I don't have a lot of experience with controlling media players remotely. (usually just use #MPV). Working on fluxNetwork now; fluxWeather will be after that.

  15. #Anthropic #ClaudeCode just helped me make fluxMoon --- my third #WindowMaker #DockApp for #Fluxbox (on #Linux, #Gentoo, in my case). Took about 10 minutes, but only because I was reading email also.

    I love the old dock apps. been using them since the late 1990s. Have 7 now, used to be ~12.

    My new ones are homage but for modern systems --- 64, 96, and 128px options, l/c/r mouse button options, config file support, and written in #Rust. So, I hope at least not horribly insecure?

  20. I don't want to start a flame war or anything, but I spent half of today #VibeCoding a solar system exploration #game and a #python program to create montages of the images in a folder. Also started on a modern #WindowMaker Dock App for #Fluxbox.

    Imagine what I (barely amateur level programmer) will be able to (ask an LLM to) do in a couple of years? Will it destroy Open Source? Will it end proprietary software? How will the powers that be capture it and monetize it?

  21. @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

  26. An new version matching Debian/Trixie point release 13.3 has been made available, this time without any donation requirements.

    Check it out at wmlive.sourceforge.net

    The former requirement for a donation has been dropped as it didn't generate any sufficient increase in donations, and rather resulted in wasting even more time with donator access management.

  31. My 9 year old thinks Window Maker (specifically the dockapps) is the coolest looking interface so I'm obliged to make it my primary desktop once again, now, in the year 2026 CE. FWIW, I first used Window Maker in 1998. #wmlive #windowmaker #xorg #openbsd #linux

  32. Juste pour voir j'ai installé #WindowMaker sur ma #Debian #Linux (la dernière fois c'était il y a très longtemps), eh bien c'est toujours pas mal !
    Je vais le garder un peu pour voir ce que ça donne au quotidien

  33. Instead of waiting until the end of the year for the disclosure of the passphrase to unpack the encrypted 7z archives of the amd64 and arm64 variants of , the Christmas holidays are probably the best time to enjoy playing with it already.

    So here is the passphrase: ThanksForYourSupport
