Is it worth it?
Every wm so far i have looked at kinda sucked, the way to configure them, their functionality etc.
If so, what's there to learn?
Should the x11 protocoll be implement by yourself or shouldi just use xlib ?

You're too retarded to even attempt to write a window manager
Jordan Morales
Kek.
I highly doubt writing a WM is any difficult
Lincoln Sanders
Writing a good one is, specifications.freedesktop.org
Making a toy wm is very easy though

Hahahaha, what?
It's not that hard, for all its flaws, xlib is actually pretty comfy to use. Just start with something like DWM or Berry.

Replace "standard" with "sucky wms" and you now have what your suggesting.

You do understand people can write software for themselves, right?
Mason Lee
But that's impossible m8, since they're all the smartest programmers in existence!
People which actually understand what they're doing are being overshadowed by cunts like those people. :)

throw away x ie. not really x
do it on sdl2 .. this shit runs on raspberry pi without x. m currently rebuilding it. its robust and the windowing is better than x. its faster than x
Jose Stewart
oh right
all these fucking experts.
with their crappy little 1k line github attempts
is Any Forums
fuck off
Oliver Edwards
c is a fucking joke.
move on
Noah Hernandez
What does that have to do with C?

I don't think that's a good idea, because you'll still want to handle ewmh at least.
It's not hard. Xlib's manual is 400 pages, and most of the extensions are under 10 pages. It's almost C tier levels of easy to learn, and the only thing that kinda fucks you up is colors.
Dominic Hill
Not hard, just slap on chromium, use vuejs and voila you have a window manager.
James Howard
yeah. 'scrum master london £65k-85k'
the world is a fuckng mess
the uk economy is worthless
agile is for the incompetent
Carter Reyes
If all X11 window managers suck then maybe there's a reason for that
Nathan Rodriguez
>Every wm
I use XMonad.
btw.
Evan Jenkins
x11 was always more viable than windows
windows is not the gui model
it is a legacy mess
it was from day 1 when gates knocked together an 'impresion' of what he saw at xerox parc (rejecting the OO that xerox had to invent, to make the gui programmable, maintainable), in C. the m$ foundation = failure. they perpetuate, failure. they keep their customers without solutions and they maintain theirselves as the only solutions provider.
m$ is for use by idiots. failures,
