WMFS

WMFS (Window Manager From Scratch) is a lightweight and highly configurable tiling window manager for X. It can be configured with a configuration file, supports Xft (Freetype) fonts and is compliant with the Extended Window Manager Hints (EWMH) specifications, Xinerama and Xrandr. WMFS can be driven with Vi based commands (ViWMFS). Optional Imlib2 support allow WMFS to draw image instead text everywhere you want with a simple sequence. New: WMFS now has systray.


Installation

# pacman-g2 -S wmfs


Mode tiling


Configuration

Just like Openbox or Wmii, Wmfs takes a little time to adjust the system to your hand. Everything is possible a priori, by editing the configuration file:

User terminal 48px.png
$ vim ~/.config/wmfs/wmfsrc

For use Wmfs, simply add the session «wmfs» to your Login Manager. here is the section of the configuration file of slim


 # /etc/slim.conf
 login_cmd           exec /bin/sh - ~/.xinitrc %session
 
 # Available sessions (first one is the default).
 # The current chosen session name is replaced in the login_cmd
 # above, so your login command can handle different sessions.
 # see the xinitrc.sample file shipped with slim sources
 sessions            wmfs

And add this command to your ~/.xinitrc

  	exec wmfs
