scrolled clock for dynamic window manager
description of the small but useful tool - scrolled clock (C - libaosd-text hack)
"simplicity is the final achievement" by Frederic Chopin
Probably everyone has his own favourite window manager. I have my own as well - it is dynamic window manager (dwm) - very small, well designed, fast, stable and useful. It works as one binary and it's customizasble through editing headers file (recompilation/rerun is needed). Why I am using it, why it is useful?
Well, in my work I am using mainly keyboard (simplify - I am writing the code). In dwm I can control my graphic environment in 100% using only keyboard. Another thing - dwm takes care of all things related to window management - resizing, on top, bottom, snap to border etc - with dwm you don't have to think about it.And simplicity - there is nothing which can distract you (no popups, trays, flashing clocks and similar)..
You can read more about it on it's webpage
In my config, most significant changes - I set ModKey to WinKey (none of my application was using this key) , I added new function to switch to next two windows and rescale last one. You can also find there shortcut to my scrolled clock (which appeared on screen on demand):
static const char *clockcmd[] = { "/home/bluszcz/usr/hacks/bin/scroller", NULL };
which is nothing more than simply hack one of examples from libaosd-text library... You can find sources here.
