Oh. My. Gosh.

It's heading towards 4, and m eyes are starting to burn.I've found the strangest window manager ever....it can be made to do pretty much anything. Unfortunately, you pretty much have to reinvent the wheel in order to make it do so. I've been working on this thing for a good 5 hours or so, and my biggest success was finding a themer for it...only to find that the d*mn thing completely changed the way teh configs were written.

Did I mention that the configs for the thing are, more often than not, programs and scripts in their own right? People write code for the thing, and call it a config file. This isn't a userbase, it's a freaking culture. If it weren't spring break, I wouldn't have time to even look at all of this.

That said...just look at what this thing can do:

It can mimic my own fluxbox styles:
blackbox theme

It can do Macintosh..
OSX

Windows, linux, and the weird spaces in between...


if you want more screenshots, this site has pretty ones:
Eye candy!

In any case, that's what I'm burning time on now. I might even end up using it...who knows? Gotta crash now...snoooorrreeee.....Later all,

K~
