YaWm is just Yet Another Window Manager which is used by me from early 2012. Another meaning of the name is al-yawm [the day] (YaWm/wiki):
Originaly inspired by suckless's dwm. Reworked, patched, polished for my needs. Have not pretensions to be compatible with the original anymore.
The main project's goal is to build comfortable X environment for myself in true unix way: simple, flexible and strictly functional binary code that should help user to work with his tasks with a maximal performance and to bring a high usability. Not more But not less.
Minimal toolset (also partialy covered by this repo):
- yawm
- yawmstatus
- tinyterm (but
xtermis pretty fine too) - slock (has fallback to
xscreensaver) - dmenu
Other stuff for a minimal comfort:
- clipit
- volumeicon-alsa
In order to run the WM xinit and base X stuff are required.
Happy hacking!
Despite the fact there are no active commits for a long time - the project is still active and maintained. The main binary is rock-stable and thus not requires changes. At least for author's needs. Feel free to contact me if you're interested in and/or have any issues regarding the project.
After a long period of inactivity the project became currently actual again.
As for now there're a lot of small (but terrible) issues in WM controls caused by a changes of related libraries.
- manual change of window geometry may work with bugs
- windows list is ugly and not usable
- window focus may change the windows stack position
- applications with full-screen mode behave strange and may sporadicaly not able for roll out on the full screen
slockis not so compatible anymore with powersave mode of the screen as previously
