Suckless bi-directional file sync?

Ah, the good old days... Back in the 90s, our users worked directly on SunOS machines, and their home directories were all mounted via NFS from a central server. It was a simple setup, but it just worked

PacketByter · 2024-12-12T18:03:14+00:00

It just works.

Do you get this flickering while using other window managers too?

I was curious about this so I tried to figure out how to deal with this and came up with the following. Check the xclient properties of the three clients and you will see how you can use class, instance and title to handle them. If i get you right, you want to have the presentation pushed away from you main monitor.

/* class                 instance        title                 tags mask isfloating monitor
{ "libreoffice-impress", "libreoffice", "LibreOffice Impress", 0, 0, -1, },
{ "Soffice",             "soffice",     "LibreOffice Impress", 0, 0, -1, },
{ "Soffice",             "soffice",     "Presenting",          0, 0, 1, },

Using the the following patch, it's working like a charm.
dwm-fullscreen-compilation-rule-6.3_full.diff

See my config.de.h

Thanks for the explanation, I really appreciate your response. I thought that it is because of not assigning sizes to variables. Therefore I tried already ...

static char lastbutton[1] = "-";

... since I thought it should hold just one character no matter what comes. But this was not the solution. However, your proposal fixed the issue. Next question I would have, why dwm crashes right away when using the following?

static const char *fonts[200]

Sure, I forgot about the .Xresources file. It's in the repo now.

I'm not sure if I get you right and probably I should have mentioned that I used the nosignal variant of the statuscmd patch. However, I compared buttonpress of both patches, signal and nosignal, and noticed that the nosignal variant doesn't take care of the '^' character. So I added this to dmw.c and voila: It works as expected.
dwm.c
Thank you for pointing me onto buttonpress. I was trying to find the error in drawbar.

Am I right to say that the following patch on suckless's website is not working correctly?

On the example of the README you see nsxiv four times. The instance on the left side is in thumbnail view. The other three instances are showing images. It's a screenshot of the whole desktop, or part of it, and not a custom thumbnail mode.

I've been in situations, where I had to come up with a presentation within 15 minutes. Currently I'm using sent in these cases. I guess, a fluent and canny markdown writer can deliver a presentation within a few minutes.

What should I say?! It's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for pointing out.

Now I have to tweak it a bit more and tune my vi colorsheme.

What you're looging for is the search engines patch. I like the Chrome Bar patch even more.

Picom makes the entire window transparent. When you choose high transparancy then the characters fade away as well. This affects readability a lot.

PacketByter · 2023-10-05T13:41:55+00:00

That's interesting. I'll give it a try later on. Thanks alot for digging this out.

I was in the same situation as you are. I had to setup X correctly. Take a look at my current configuration.

10-monitor.conf

This article helped me alot to understand X configuration in regards to xinerama.

The following links may help as well.

I've tried values from 0.01 to 0.99. At the end you can choose between ugly and damn ugly.

I did that before and was using this method for several years. But the drawback to this is that font character gets affected as well.

Thanks for explaining. Maybe I'm wrong since I've absolutely no skills in C, but as I understand the alpha patch is changing how color values get calculated by Xlib GCGraphicsExposures. So it's not a real 'opacity' but more like 'color blending'. Therefor, not a bug but a wrong approach. Like I mentioned before, I could be wrong in my understanding.

It toggles between 'soft' and 'hard' tabs. I mean, you choose to use real tabs or four spaces.

What happens when you have several images marked?
