I was just wondering if there was or is any plan to develop a window manager specifically for the ROX desktop? |

A couple of people have said they were working on them, but I don't know how they're doing. What do you want to do that you can't do with sawfish, etc? -- Thomas Leonard http://rox.sourceforge.net ta...@ec... ta...@us... |

I've also got an IceWM theme which is very close to being releasable (but most people are using Sawfish).

I did start to write a minimalistic WM with ROX in mind (i.e. at least EWMH compliant), but I had some personal problem just before releasing the first alpha, and now I am working 100% on my PhD thesis... So there won't be anything before a few month, and anyway the kind of WM I had in mind was very minimal,so it may not suit for integration in ROX (ah, and it is written in Eiffel...) -- Laurent Moussault |
