jgmenu VS dwm_lut

Aside from the obvious uses - command line scripts - you can also do quite a bit with the GUI. Check out Yad for bash script GUI. X11 related tools like wmctrl, xdotool allow you to create spectacular scripts. I write and use numerous dynamic menus created with bash + jgmenu.

rofi or dmenu are often used and I can recommend them too. These programs are graphical that can be used to build your own menu with a few options and arguments. They also have some functionality to show you installed programs on your system and execute it. Qtile itself have such a functionality too: DmenuRun . And there is a menu program that will list applications like KDE startmenu with categories does in example: jgmenu

If you want a working alternative, I use jgmenu. It's pretty light. https://github.com/johanmalm/jgmenu

It's jgmenu!

It is worth adding that Johan is also the author of an excellent jgmenu. So labwc is a serious project led by a great developer. https://github.com/johanmalm/jgmenu

For a start menu similar to what you'd have in Windows, you can use something called jgmenu which you can read more about here https://jgmenu.github.io/. To get a start button for jgmenu, you can add a button to tint2 and bind it to jgmenu, you can select an icon, place text for it, or do both.

If you want to use 3DLut, then I suggest using DWMLut, because Win10 DWM (Desktop Window Manager) is everywhere, even if it is exclusive full screen and the desktop optimization settings are turned off, it is possible to maintain calibration, and currently BattlEye and EAC do not block DWMLut ; please do not use it with ICC and VCGT calibration because it will cause secondary calibration problems.

You should be able to hack dwm_lut to apply your shader! Not sure how easily hackable the code is, but everything you need (hooking into DWM + the scaffolding for applying a shader) is in there.

I would also recommend investigating dwm_lut or novideo_srgb as alternatives to actually applying the profile, as they're actually a bit more robust than the native Windows color management system.

If you need color accuracy, then give dwm_lut a try. If you generate a 3D LUT properly in DisplayCal with a good colorimeter like a Calibrite (and a proper correction profile) and import the LUT into dwm_lut then you'll have accuracy that's likely beyond anything you've ever used before unless you're accustomed to using wide gamut displays with hardware 3D LUTs.

Material needed : - Your colorimeter with Diplaycal - A D65 light bulb with high color rendering index (Do your own researchs as IDK where you live and I don't want to ;-) ) - A colorchecker passport (Calibrite brand is good) - A digital camera - The software Lumariver profile designer to calibrate the digital camera : http://www.lumariver.com/ - The DWM_LUT here : https://github.com/ledoge/dwm_lut - Patience of cours ! :-)
