# Halfwit's Window Manager Set of scripts around wmutils/wmgroup/watom that form my window manager [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSIjqTgtj2c) ## NOTE: For this to work as expected, everything you use must have a dependable title. This is difficult in certain browsers, for example Surf. I set the window class for anything I invoke with shell; in st it looks like this: `st -c "mytitle" -e myprogram`. ### CAUTION: This will break in mysterious and wonderful ways. Welcome to X11! ## Startup xinitrc ```sh # all things you start before inotifybar & exec hwwm ``` ## Installation Requires watom, wmgroup, wmutils PREFIX=myprefix make install The inotifybar is very specific to my system, but serves as an interesting example of what is possible, with the various \*bar scripts being ran on hooks or at the ends of scripts only, such that polling doesn't take too much CPU time. It currently works with battery and groups, but it is simple to add other items as well, see my dotfiles for examples. ## Configuration This presumes $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/x11 exists, with the following files: tags ```sh # name autofocus group mpv false 1 firefox true 2 vim true 3 irc true 4 zathura true 5 ``` size ```sh width=1363 height=751 gaps=6 fulw=1354 fulh=743 ``` window ```sh weechat '%s %s %s %s' "350" "224" "454" "261" # Any valid sh here to emit something in the form of # See my dotfiles for examples # <nameofwindow> '%s %s %s %s' <minx> <miny> <maxx> <maxy> ```
