Free window maker software for linux

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.

Soundboard Maker is a tool for making and running soundboards.

You can play selected audio, save soundboards, load soundboards, and distribute your soundboards to other users.

The interface is easy to customize.

Config Maker is a tool to automatically create C++ classes that parse configuration files.

Only a few lines of text that describe the possible entries in the configuration file are needed, and the complete class will be generated ready for use.

Basic usage

The input files for Config Maker have a very simple structure (in ANTLR/grep like notation):

objectname (configentry)+
Each configentry looks like this
type entryname defaultvalue (comment)?

type

Type of the entry, can be int, double, string or bool. If the basic type is followed by any number, the corresponding c++object variable will be of type vector < basic type > The number is the initial number of elements that are allocated for the vector, but the actual configuration file can contain more components. These are added using the push_back method.

If there are less elements specified in the configuration file, the object variable will still contain the number of elements specified here. No warning will be issued.
configentry

Name of the entry and corresponding variable. Has to be at least two characters long and can contain characters and numbers. Case insensitive.

defaultvalue

Default value for the entry. This is optional.

comment

Each comment starts with // and is completely ignored

No New Window forces Firefox to never open links in a new window automatically.

If you want to open a link in a new window, you can still do that via the context menu, but if a website author specifies that a link should open in a new window, that is ignored.

Please note that this extension is not needed anymore (and does, indeed, not install) in Firefox 1.5, as that version offers the desired behaviour as a configuration option.

Minidock is a 4 buttons application launcher for the Window Maker dock. The config file allow to put custom commands and icons.

The default package provides two versions of the config file (common apps and Openoffice).

X Window Properties Viewer project allows you to select a X window and view/edit its properties.

A tree viewer lets to see part or all of the windows tree on your X server.

After selecting a window you can view all of the resources at once or select individual ones for viewing/editing.

Only editing strings is currently supported.
