NEUROWM: Gulai Otak (686) Release Notes
Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2014 7:51 am
NeuroWM is a brand-new window manager and promises to be something like xmonad for C. It is under heavy development, but I thought I give it an own spin because it actually works quite well for me (I had it run 24 hours non-stop without hickups).
The configuration is for the advanced user, because you need to write your neurowm configuration file yourself. There are two examples added, the Gulai Otak release starts with a simple (minimal) default and relies on xbindkeys (F1: 9menu, F2/F3: dmenu)
To prevent conflicts with the default keybinds, I mapped x-terminal-emulator to Shift + Return. You can of course change this by editing .xbindkeysrc.
Optically (and in its behavior) neurowm indeed feels like xmonad (or sscrotwm) and works very well with trayer/stalonetray. The developer (apparently a fan of dzen2) added his neurowm.c (also see ~/neurowm/conf) so you can copy stuff from there.
I shall mention it again, this release is not for beginners.
