WindowMaker

[DemoDoG]

Thought I should start a thread for discussion of the WindowMaker desktop. I just love the speed and minimalism of it and I think it works great with FreeBsd. Anyone got some nice themes or apps that works great with it?

There is a post on the windowmaker.info website that they have been started working on it again and will also remake the website, sounds lovely :-)

Development has indeed started as indicated by the updates on the repository page.

Is it possible to install snapshots? I have never understood how you do that. Can I install a snapshot release while still having the windowmaker from portstree and be able to switch between them?

I've got (a) handy-dandy dock application(s). :)

http://themes.freshmeat.net and a search for WindowMaker will return some themes. Also a quick Google search.

Dock applications can be found in the ports system (the time dock application is located in /usr/ports/x11-clocks/wmtime/). There are some others that monitor weather, servers, chess games, CPU usage, etc.

IS there some way of using icons from gnome in windowmaker? Gnome uses svn i guess and I cant use them icons. I think thats what need so be fixed in windowmaker or is there some way of doing it?

Whatever happened to dockapps.org? Seems to have disappeared, I heard somewhere that it should be implemented in windowmaker somehow. Anyone got another site where neweer (later than 2006 :-) ) dockapps are represented?

Does anybody know what happened to wmmount app? It seems it can't be configured with it's menu that used to pop-up after right click on the app icon.

Try reinstalling it? It's either sysutils/mount.app or sysutils/wmmount. Check your pkg_info.
