YaWm

====

`YaWm` is just Yet Another Window Manager which is used by me from early 2012. Another meaning of the name is al-yawm [the day] (YaWm/wiki):

Originaly inspired by suckless's dwm. Reworked, patched, polished for my needs.

Have not pretensions to be compatible with the original anymore.

The main project's goal is to build comfortable X environment for myself in true unix way:

simple, flexible and strictly functional binary code that should help user to work

with his tasks with a maximal performance and to bring a high usability.

Not more But not less.

Minimal toolset (also partialy covered by this repo):

- yawm

- yawmstatus

- tinyterm (but `xterm` is pretty fine too)

- slock (has fallback to `xscreensaver`)

- dmenu

Other stuff for a minimal comfort:

- clipit

- volumeicon-alsa

In order to run the WM `xinit` and base X stuff are required.

Happy hacking!

Disclamer

=========

Despite the fact there are no active commits for a long time - the project is still active and maintained. The main binary is rock-stable and thus not requires changes. At least for author's needs.

Feel free to contact me if you're interested in and/or have any issues regarding the project.

Known issues

============

After a long period of inactivity the project became currently actual again.

As for now there're a lot of small (but terrible) issues in WM controls caused by a changes of related libraries.

- manual change of window geometry may work with bugs

- windows list is ugly and not usable

- window focus may change the windows stack position

- applications with full-screen mode behave strange and may sporadicaly not able for roll out on the full screen

- `slock` is not so compatible anymore with powersave mode of the screen as previously
