Free window maker 0.92.0 software for linux

Window Manager Icons purpose of the wm-icons project is to provide a themeable icon distribution for window managers.
Main features:
- Providing an efficient configurable icons distribution.
- Creating a framework for easy configurable icon themes.
- Staying window manager independent, but with fvwm in mind.
- Releasing the distribution under GPL.

UWG is a lightweight gadget/windowing toolkit for C and X11. Interfaces are described using XML and are turned into C code using the ubuildinit utility. Currently, only a small percentage of the planned gadgets are implemented.

Micro WG is a C `version of WG. In general, UWG is somewhat more light-weight than WG. Firstly because its written in C and not C++. Secondly because it does not yet provide all the features of WG. Also, it should be significantly easier to `connect UWG to KRoC.

Why UWG ? Its now the case that there are many `widget libraries for programmers to choose from. The traditional X11 widget libraries (X Toolkit Intrinsics), GTK, QT, Motif, wxWindows, TK, etc.. GTK and QT are probably the most common for an average users desktop system -- as the graphics libraries of Gnome and KDE respectively. C++, used by WG, provides a largely type-safe environment for gadget programming -- i.e. the structure/nature of gadgets fit neatly into the C++ type (class) heirarchy.

However, C++ ultimately suffers from the same problems as some other `object-orientated languages -- namely leaky encapsulation. When writing WG, some of the limitations (maybe features) of C++ caused significant problems, particularly in the function-pointer department. Object-orientation is a fine model for data, but it does not work well when `bolted-on to sequential languages -- C++ and Java in particular.

Forcing a sequential flow-of-control through something that we tried to break into objects only leads to problems. E.g. when executing inside the method of one object, is it safe to delete another object ? -- well, only if that other object wasnt involved (and still is involved) in the flow-of-control. And this you cannot easily tell. Furthermore, in many cases, `delete may be substituted for any object interaction (method-call).

Also, a lot of modern GUI toolkits seem unnecessarily bloated. C++ (and other `frilly languages) can be blamed for some of this, but not all of it. WG isnt bloated yet, but its not far off. UWG is therefore an attempt at a lightweight (size and speed) gadget toolkit for X11, programmed in C.

dynamic window manager or dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11.
As founder and main developer of wmii I came to the conclusion that wmii is too clunky for my needs. I dont need so many funky features and all this hype about remote control through a 9P service, I only want to manage my windows in a simple, but dynamic way.
wmii never got finished because I listened to users, who proposed arbitrary ideas I considered useful. This resulted in an extreme CADT development model, which was a mistake. Thus the philosophy of dwm is simply to fit my needs (maybe yours as well). Thats it.
Main features:
- dwm has no Lua integration, no 9P support, no editable tagbars, no shell-based configuration, no remote control, and comes without any additional tools like printing the selection or warping the mouse.
- dwm is only a single binary, its source code is intended to never exceed 2000 SLOC.
- dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler than ion, wmii or larswm). It manages windows in tiling and floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, depending on the application in use and the task performed.
- dwm doesnt distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or tiled layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are in tiled mode or not, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup- and fixed-size windows are treated floating, however.
- dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which hasnt been known at compile time, except window title names and status text read from standard input. You dont have to learn Lua/sh/ruby or some weird configuration file format (like X resource files), beside C to customize it for your needs, you only have to learn C (at least editing header files).
- Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, its pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions.
- dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused clients.
- dwm reads from standard input to print arbitrary status text (like the date, load, battery charge). Thats much simpler than larsremote, wmiir and what not...
- It can be downloaded and distributed under the conditions of the MIT/X Consortium license.
- Optionally you can install dmenu to extend dwm with a wmii-alike menu.
Enhancements:
- This release contains certain major bugfixes, especially regarding banning/unbanning client windows.

wmpower is a Window Maker dock application allowing the user to graphically see (and set) the power management status of his laptop.
Main features:
- Battery status display (you choose the battery);
- Both APM and ACPI kernels are supported;
- On ACPI kernels you get fan status and a thermal sensor;
- Direct access to Toshiba hardware: you get fan status and LCD brightness management even without an APCI kernel;
- While on battery, it can stop your fan, HD, lin-seti service to make the battery last longer; if you have a Toshiba Laptop, it can also adjust your LCD brightness;
- Fast battery charge mode: you can keep on battery settings until your battery reaches 100%: this will make it recharge much faster;
- no-meddling option: if you want the program to display power manamenegt status, but not to take any action.
- On Toshiba laptops you can use your mouse wheel to adjust the brightness of your lcd screen.
- Support for Dell laptops for temperature and fan status
- Support for Compal hardware
- CPU frequency scaling support
Installation:
./configure
make
su root (if you are not root already)
make install
Enhancements:
- Fixed a memory allocation issue that on rare occasions could make wmpower crash.
- Fixed small bug that made wmpower print forever that it would not fast charge the battery as it was already at maximum capacity.
- When calculating battery time, and battery is charging, now wmpower displays time remaining until battery is fully charged instead of how much time would left if we were running on battery power.

List::Maker is a Perl module that can generate more sophisticated lists than just $a..$b.

SYNOPSIS

use List::Maker;

@list = < 1..10 >; # (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)

@list = < 10..1 >; # (10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1)

@list = < 1,3,..10 > # (1,3,5,7,9)
@list = < 1..10 x 2 > # (1,3,5,7,9)

@list = < 0..10 : prime N >; # (2,3,5,7)
@list = < 1,3,..30 : /7/ > # (7,17,27)

@words = < a list of words >; # (a, list, of, words)
@words = < a list "of words" >; # (a list, of words)

The List::Maker module hijacks Perls built-in file globbing syntax (< *.pl > and glob *.pl) and retargets it at list creation.

The rationale is simple: most people rarely if ever glob a set of files, but they have to create lists in almost every program they write. So the list construction syntax should be easier than the filename expansion syntax.

Linux Commander is a powerful file manager for the X Window System.

It is partially modelled after Window Commander for Windows.

wmget is a dock app for the Window Maker window manager which makes it more convenient to perform long downloads in the background. It uses the excellent libcurl library, part of the cURL automated-download program, to perform file retrieval.

This is useful if, like me, you tend to have dozens of windows open at a time and tend to do a lot of routine downloading. Just copy the link from your browser, middle-click on the wmget dockapp, and the download will start.

No download windows or terminals required, and you can monitor the progress and stop the transfer if desired without opening or raising any windows or even changing desktops.
