Version: 0.3.9
i've recently discovered this one because of a post by musher0 (thanks for that). as i do like tiling-wms (i use awesome-2 often) i decided to give it a trial. Very nice and simple one.echinus is a window manager for X in spirit of dwm.
differences:
* echinus is configured via one config file in Xresources format
* echinus supports the smallest possible subset of EWMH to be useable with panels/pagers
* ifloating layout mimics traditional wm behaviour
* Xft (TTF) support
* multihead support with Xrandr
* no statusbar, no scripting, no nothing
I've included the following tools in this package:
- ourico: simple panel
- dmenu advanced: dynamic menu system
- wmjump window switcher (over all desktops)
- gmrun run-dialog that could start apps in terminal by Ctrl + Return
To start echinus logout and type
Code: Select all
xwin startechinus
Code: Select all
/root/.echinus/echinusrc
All app compiled and tested in 4.31.
EDIT 20091210: The new package contains echinus 0.3.9 and an updated dmenu-package. i also fixed a missing file in the startup-folder. please note that i've changed also the look slightly (now black and white). so if you want the old look or you have changed some of the scripts/settings you might want to backup yours first.
