I know I said no more for a while, but it's raining and cold here today so no gardening.
Another minimal stacker with some twists -- highly configurable in a very well-documented run-time config file, with a default focus model kind of like oroborus; windows are both raised and focused when you mouse into them, without clicking. This can be changed on a workspace basis, as can most of the config options. The default config uses a different background color and titlebar color for each workspace, so it is easy to tell where you are. Odd, but interesting.

Re: ahwm
Likewise, here. cwm seems to perfectly suit my needs for stackers, at the moment, with sithwm as 2nd. Although I was also enjoying euclid-wm and larswm for tilers, in the long run I like stackers better. I'll definitely give ahwm a try, though.GekkoP wrote:I'm still finding hard to leave cwm when it comes to stackers.
Re: ahwm
Nice scrot GekkoP.
These minimal stackers (all based eventually on evilwm) have minimal differences. ahwm is very configurable at run time, if you care about that. It also has windecs. I used to use cwm all the time, and then it got popular, so I had to find something else :) As you can see from my github .cwmrc, I don't really care about menus and such, so once I patched evilwm to move the resize mouse button, it does everything I need. tfwm is a little lighter, but that's about it, and it has its own issues. mcwm starts with mod4+t bound to start a terminal, and I like that, Otherwise, they are all about the same.
In the long run, I use ratpoison for eveything but scrots. :)
Oh and bones, I am happy to hear that you like larswm; that's one that definitely doesn't get enough love. euclid-wm too.

Re: ahwm
^ you're absolutely right about the minimal differences. I've been using the old Acer with Arch only for trying different window managers, especially stackers since the display is a bit too small to appreciate a tiler. They all work pretty well for what I need on that laptop, except for tfwm and weewm that crash when I try to open st. But that said, I guess I just love trying them out. :)
