Rhowaldt still uses geany, that's much more offensive than vim, emacs and nano together ;)

But yes, zharpher, very nice setup, I love the airline-modes, it all looks clean!

right tool for the job. I occasionally use leaf/mousepad as I can chop text around quicker than programming awk. 8^O
Nice scrot BTW zharper :)

yeah, leafpad is useful. Wux, you're avatar still fucks me up.

@wux, have you noticed that leaf/mousepad do not like text selection while scrolling horizontally? The marked text is unmarked then. Does not happen in Geany.
Hard to explain, but if you noticed it, you know what I mean :)

I like that. Have a recent blueish theme myself, but haven't been using it. Looks like you did some modding on the colorsheme, repeating 0-7 for 8-15?

Thanks a bunch guys :)
The colorscheme is the stock solarized theme from https://github.com/altercation/solarize ... /solarized.

Dang, stark. That is one handsome scrot. I don't know if I have ever seen dwm look so beautiful! Very nice :D Are you going to toss it on /r/unixporn or /r/unixart? They dig this kind of rice, since you actually put tons of elbow grease into this, rather than some who just toss Numix and Docky on Ubuntu and proudly take a screenshot.

Thanks for the nice compliments Doc! Other than the xcolors there's nothing new in the scrot so I won't be posting it anywhere else :)

Nice stark. My only gripe ... not too keen on the mismatched fonts - panel(cure?) and terminals(not sure?).

Thanks dkeg! Panel is using lime ( I like lemon better but having some weird issues with that font, showing the all the characters as 4 ) As for the terminal, profont + tewi ( bold ). I prefer atleast one bold font on the terminal and it seems there are very few bold bitmap fonts that can look nice, Can you suggest some good bold bitmap fonts ?

you are correct. I don't know either. Tried gohufont bold, and neep bold. Neither were perfect. IIRC neep was better than gohu for bold?? Better being relative. Give it a shot ...

By the way, I added a snippet to pidsley's env-info script to show the Xresources fonts, if anybody is interested:

Code: Select all

print-fonts() {
    FNT=(`xrdb -query all|grep Font|cut -d- -f3`)
    color-echo 'Fonts' "$FNT"
}

I'm really starting to see the benefit of dwm. It's noticeably faster than both i3 and spectrwm on my hardware. Benefit of being coded in C?

^ spectrwm and i3 are also C. Most window managers are written in C.

I wonder if DebianJoe could come up with some kind of objective measurement for a window manager's "speed" -- I'm not sure I know what that means, myself. Is it how quickly you can switch from one window to another? Or how quickly you can create a new window (this will also depend on the program starting in the window)?
