Less features, less problems

EveningWm is a super minimal floating X window manager built using Xlib. It is currently only 95 SLOC (generated by sloccount) and it features a configuration file. With more features, comes more bugs and that's what EveningWm is trying to solve. In the best case scenario, you'll forget that your running a wm at all ;)

This project is a proud fork of the most smallest wm, TinyWm (originally written by Nick Welch [email protected] in 2005 & 2011.)

• Sloppy focus follows the mouse, to properly focus a window press Alt + Mouse1 on it.
• Move a window with Alt + Mouse1
• Resize a window with Alt + Mouse3
• Raise a window with Alt + r
• Lower a window with Alt + d
• Launch a terminal with Alt + Return (default is urxvt)
• Launch a browser with Alt + f (default is firefox)
• Close EveningWm with Alt + 0

EveningWm is configured by editing the config.h file. Defualt settings are there but it's highly recommened you configure it to how you like

• gcc
• make
• Xlib headers

To install EveningWm run:

make all

and to uninstall:

make clean

• Currently EveningWm doesn't know how to ignore bars, docks etc..
• If any modifier key in addition to Alt (e.g caps lock, num lock..) is pressed the keybinds won't work.
• For some reason firefox context menus stopped working even thought I'm 100% sure they worked just a couple of days ago :(

• Nick Welch for creating TinyWm.
• torvim (browsing neutrawm's source code helped a ton.)
• The whole r/unixporn community for motivation.

EveningWm is my first actual C project ever, so expect the worst but hope for the best.
