    Window Maker Live

    Window Maker Live

    Window Maker Live Linux Distribution

    The Window Maker Live DVD is an installable Linux live ISO, and is based mostly on the recently released “Bookworm” branch of Debian. It relies on the Window Maker window manager as its default graphical user interface. It can also be considered as an alternative installation medium for Debian/Bookworm. As such, wmlive is fully compatible with and relies on the official Debian/Bookworm repositories for security updates and bug fixes. ISO images of "Window Maker Live" and its source code are provided "as is" without any promise for fitness for a particular purpose. There is no warranty or support provided whatsoever. If it breaks anything you are entitled to keep the broken pieces and fix them yourself.

    Rofi Applets

    Rofi Applets

    Various useful applets developed with Rofi and shell-scripts

    Bundle of easy-to-configure useful Rofi Applets Developed by Umutcan Sevdi. This project requires Rofi. It's a very powerful pop-up/switcher that allows anyone to create powerful menus. You can download it from the package manager of your choice. All applets read color values from applets/global.rasi. Editing color hexcodes will update all existing applets. Create a directory at ROFI_APPLETS_PATH. Then open two files. config.rasi and launch.sh. Instead of defining your own color values, import all of them from global.rasi for consistency. Develop rest like any other rofi applet. Write your launch script to the launch.sh. Applet CLI will automatically recognize your applet on the next run.

    screenrotate

    screenrotate

    Small script used to automatically change the various screen rotation

    This program was originally written for the Lenovo flex 5. But if your laptop has iio-sensor-proxy installed and supports it, automatic rotation should work on any laptop. Since version 1.7 I use an ASUS ROG Flow. Therefore new features and patches will be available first on the asus_rog_flow branch.

    My customized linux live spin using 'Awesome' the Window Manager (WM) If you are not familiar with the AwesomeWM you might have troubles using this LiveOS, unless you are experienced with Linux in general. If you are looking for a Windows (Microsoft TM) or iOS (Apple TM) alternative, this Linux spin is NOT for you! As the linux base system i'm using Fedora, which i found to work best for the hardware i have. This project is in no way related with Fedora. The install icon is to be found in '$HOME/notepad' This is highly customized to my very personal liking. * As less GUI as possible * Console for everything * No bling bling but my scripts * LUA hardcoded applications menu Introducing my stuff: * Text User Interface: https://github.com/sri-arjuna/tui * Sutra: Random sutras from the Vedics (german) * Several small scripts Based on: * Fedora: http://www.fedoraproject.org * AwesomeWM: http://awesome.naquadah.org/download/ * RPMFusion: http://rpmfusion.org

    Dotfiles themed with SweetPastel

    This is my dotfiles that I made, it's a dotfiles design to be understandable and hackable by anyone and themed with SweetPastel. Instead of making multiple Window Manager Configs with different style I opt in on just one style but it should be compatible to other Window Manage so if you switch to another Window Manager it should be the same style, plus it's less work. All the configs are stored in a folder so it won't conflict at your pre existing configs (Except of the window managers they will conflict unless you backup your old files)
