Free dockapp software for linux

WMApp DockApp Library is a C++ based library for writing WindowMaker-style dockapps. To write a dockapp, it is generally necessary to perform some magic Xlib incantations, supply a clipping mask, and set up X event checking.
Like larger graphics libraries such as GTK+ and Qt, WMApp automates this process by providing the classes and functions necessary for widget creation and callbacks.
The library provides numerous widgets, all with the traditional dockapp appearance. Many common dockapps could already be rewritten to use this library.
WMApp widgets available (most shown above) include:
- WMText, a text widget with three available font sizes (two are shown).
- WMLED, for creating the cutesy blinkenlights beloved by authors of PPP/Ethernet status dockapps.
- WMHistory, for showing the history of some quantity.
- WMMeterBar, for showing the quantitys instantaneous value. Available in three different styles.
- WMSlider, a subclass of WMMeterBar. This class lets you change a value by clicking or scrolling the mouse wheel over the widget.
- WMImage (not shown), a box with the capability to display a pixmap.
- WMButton. Buttons may have one or more callback functions attached.
- Or, inherit from WMCallback in order to give any other widget the ability to run callback functions.
- WMCanvas, a subclass of WMImage that lets you draw directly onto the dockapp.
- WMEllipse; inherit from this widget to create rounded buttons, images, etc.
- WMFrame. These container widgets may be nested to create the desired layout.
- WMWindow (one instance for each possible state of the dockapp). These contain all the other widgets for that state. WMWindows may have callback functions attached that execute every so often. These could be used, for instance, to update a clock or progress bar, or to "time out" an Internet connection.
Enhancements:
- Several fixes were made so that WMApp will compile with modern, stricter C++ compilers.
- Two new, very small fonts are now available.
- There are also new set/getuserdata() members of the WMApp and WMWidget classes that can be used to store arbitrary data to be used within callback functions.

wmforkplop is yet another dockapp for WindowMaker, or any windowmanager/desktop environment that handles dockapps (KDE has a dockbar extension, and gnome swallows).
The project is a mixture between wmhdplop and the great wmtop: wmforkplop monitors your processes by sending visual stimuli to your cortex each time your kernel forks or kills a process. Try to compile a kernel and enjoy the wmforkplop show!
Main features:
- theoritical portability that still has to be demonstrated.
- useless animation reflecting forking activity.
- wmtop-like feature (displays the top cpu consuming processes)
- a "process browser" with a license to kill.
- many unreadable information written in a tiny font.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes the infamous bug where incorrect process names were displayed.

hvclock is a "DockApp" analog clock and calendar application, running under WindowMaker.

It is an "Open-Source" project written in C and distributed under the GPL license.

YAWMPPP is a WindowMaker dockapp (works with other window managers too) that works as a frontend for pppd, making ISP hookup easier.
To connect you click the v button (as shown in the pictures by the side), to disconnect you click the x button. The arrow buttons let you select an ISP entry.
Main features:
- Works with Linux, NetBSD and FreeBSD.
- Connection time display
- Multiple ISP entries (at most 40)
- LED display: RX/TX (send/receive) and status (on,dialing,off)
- PPP load graph and speed indicator
- On Linux, it manages DNS servers automatically
- Easy GUI dialup entry setup
- Connection log with GUI log viewer
Enhancements:
- minor bug fix.

WM Workload is a workload average monitor (the number of process trying to use the CPU concurrently in the last minute).

This project is a modification of wmnetload. wmworkload is a dirty hack on wmnetload. A few structures are still on ifstats.h.

Just type "make" and then copy the binary "wmworkload" to your favorite DockApp directory.

wmworkload requires libDockApp to run

WMCpu is a dockapp CPU monitor resembling Xosview. Displays system/user/nice/idle CPU statistics, and also system uptime. Supports 2.2 or 2.4 kernels.

This is a pretty boring looking CPU monitor dockapp. Its not sexy, not fast, and not really useful either. This is something I started back in 1998 and I guess I really havent had time to play with it since then.

T. Sander sent me a couple fixes for the display problems, so I got motivated to look at this mess and see what I can do with it.

If you havent used XosView, this might be a little puzzling for you. But what you need to do is get XosView and run it for a few minutes and youll understand what this dockapp does.

Installation:

1) % tar -zxvf wmcpu-1.3.tar.gz
2) % cd wmcpu-1.3
3) % make
4) % make install
5) % wmcpu & (or wmcpu -h for help)

devmon is a daemon that monitors sys-fs files in order to detect plugs of usb storage devices (ie : flash cards).

When a device is detected, devmon mounts it and start a dockapp that allows to launch your favorite filemanager (left click) or unmount the device (right click).

For 2.6 kernel users only!
