archcraft VS bspwm_scripts

try a few different ones that comes preinstalled with a window manager - window managers are all slightly different so it comes down to which one you prefer to use If you want to try Bspwm you can check out Archcraft - it comes preinstalled with bspwm and openbox and several themes

If you don't want to configure it yourself, use an already configured setup like Archcraft.

I'm using Openbox for the first time, it has been working wonderfully. I've decided to take some configuration from Archcraft, (mostly to make my base Arch install look a bit better) however the pipemenu seems to not work.

This might not be popular here, but archcraft could be a good starting point to get into WMs, as it's basically arch but with openbox and all the stuff you might want pre-installed. I don't have too much experience with it though, so I can't say how it compares to a custom setup in terms of performance.

Anyway, I want to install archcraft and I've been getting a black screen during live boot. Fortunately, the fix is well known and its documented in the official wiki... Unfortunately I don't understand the instructions:

linux: archcraft (I'm now too lazy for ricing with xfce)

i use this script for the reflow. this only assigns one desktop to each additional monitor, rather then the two you want. you could change the di= portion of the script, but i don't see a reason to have more then one desktop on secondary monitors (so long as you have hotkeys to emulate whatever workflow you want).

gist and link to the showpath.sh script i needed to use in it. also, it uses atomx (part of wmutils) for getting the class, but xprop is more widely available.

i doubt there is anything you will find useful, but here is (was) my implementation of windowreparent and tabbed.
