  • [OC] Most used WM's in this subreddit out of 1000 posts.

    To use bspwm I had to make few scripts in bash (e.g.https://github.com/herod2k/dotfiles/blob/master/nordicfaint/.config/scripts/bsw_monitors), I already knew it but I suppose that other people had to learn it to configure i3 or bspwm and bash is also a niche "language". I don't see the difference or the problem I'm happy to learn something different. If you want something minimal I think that scripting is necessary.

  • Round corners for notifications and layout

    Yes, I used that before I tried to have a notification center. I grabbed this code from a unixporn master (probably https://github.com/rxyhn/yoru), which does not use naughty config. I will tried later to have a notification center using naughty config, if that may work. Thanks!

    I've been modifying this script so that it uses grim and slurp to work on wayland. Now I've hit the road block. The output of the program (After modification) is:

    I do think I know the problem, I followed THIS to make it look nicer. But it has not been updated in a bit so things may be broken.
  • Yoru awesomewm not loading completely

    u/BaigGam3rss I still have some work to do to make my own widgets but you probably start with the documentation [1][2]. And then look at some other projects that use Awesome API to build widgets (ex: [3][4][5][6][7]).
