This is some a class content. Very nice setup

Was hoping to see some 2bwm stuff today. 11/10. Would install.
z3bra seems to have turned into a unicorn and gone all wmutils. :(

Not surprising, I'm sure it's what he intended. I just wish I had gotten the repo (even abandoned) before it was gone and tried to patch it in for convenience.

I still have his fork on my home machine.
I'll check when I'm home.

That'd be cool, thanks. I feel like it would be better if it was built in.

Well, I prefer workspaces to groups and I prefer sloppy focus to click-to-focus.
I could add flags to enable the features though.
Sorry I couldn't remember to check the source when I got home. I'll not it down this time. :D

Which file manager are you using at the top right? I really dig it.

It's an image viewer called sxiv.

Ah whoops, thanks!

nice setup, what's the script at the top left displaying the song info and album cover.
1
Thanks.
Well short answer: dzen2, long answer several sources....
I talked about it in this thread where they also talk about a few other methods of showing that information. Initially I found this script eons ago, built upon that... And then at some point I got ideas from u/earsplit after I saw this and perused his dotfiles as well.

Awesome setup

My favourite desktop. Goddamit, you'd own 4chan.

Where can I find your compton config ?

Thanks, github page is updated. I'm not done fooling around with it yet.

Thanks dude

Your dotfiles look great ! Just more thing, do you use a gtk thème ? If you push more dots it will be VERY Appreciated ;)

Thanks, I'm just adding them as people ask. I've been using ASN (gtk2) and Sable (gtk3) for some time, now not sure what I'll be using.

Scripts heavily inspired by: u/x_ero and u/Bishnax
Running: dmenu, dzen2, dvtm, vim, ncmpcpp, urxvt, firefox, colorbloks, sxiv, cava, and a butt-ton of custom css.
For the sake of bandwidth and viewability I did the video only on one monitor. And the typical scrot is basically my first layer you could say. It's usually statically like that, give or take tabbedex/dvtm, vims and such.
My girlfriend and I are hacking on 2bwm, I disabled sloppy focus and use a vim-like taskswitcher (have been since it was created) and just added 4 border capabilities. Been working on other stuff for it too.
Sadly didn't get a chance to try u/z-brah's fork with groups, and thus far the group scripts I've tried haven't quite cut it for me. So I went super simple (>20 line scripts) to hide and show multiple windows.
I slightly modified dvtm's source to have more minimal titles, urxvt's tabbedex to be slightly slimmer, and htop to match better. I also modified my font to have all my favorite stylized letters. Still have work to do on it though.
As well as many other things. I am focusing on the backend more than the frontend so visibly the changes may not be as apparent. But either way I thought others might appreciate a workflow post.
What exactly is teknik? It seems to be pretty popular on this sub for some reason.
It's just another image uploader like imgur, it's lossless though unlike imgur which compresses images.
brb with 5 borders
What we really need here is a file in /tmp named after the window id, with borders just appended on as new lines. I'm talking about 2^64 borders, son.
Yeah, I have NOT had coffee yet.
Thought about endless borders... but honestly 4 was all I wanted. Herbstluftwm has 4, but I like having a keyboard controlled stacking WM.
The borders are maybe a little too transparent to tell, but if you zoom in, I've created a bevel effect with them, which is what I was going for.
You /could/ try out my windows script from the fyre repo. Here's a slightly modified version to run without the rest of fyre.
Well then, I just saved it, well try tomorrow. I tried the one in fyre and I'm quite sure I missed something small yet obvious as is my usual and it did not work.
oh oops, you probably want to remove/replace any lines that call focus too.
Thanks, other than a couple things I'd like to change and probable other WM bugs with map/unmap window functionality this seems to do the trick.
EDIT: Decided to add wname to it to display ID and title, then made a dmenu bound to a hotkey to easily and quickly list all windows and groups with option to toggle visiblity through it. I enjoy it.
