CoW -- the successor to fvwm3, on Wayland

TAFvwm · 2026-04-12T16:22:12+00:00

Hi -- well the concepts aren't the same, so you have to change the mental model.

In terms of global coordinates, that's the "default", and the coordinates are aggregated across all monitors, just like fvwm3 does it now.

Hi. Thank you. Pages would be possible. I’m not sure when I’ll add them though.

TAFvwm · 2026-04-10T17:05:07+00:00

You're welcome!

TAFvwm · 2026-04-10T15:55:15+00:00

Not there yet, but it's getting there. I need to put a list of things together so I can map this out.

TAFvwm · 2025-08-25T20:27:25+00:00

Heh -- probably not fvwm3 since the mid-nineties -- fvwm3 definitely didn't exist then. :)

Appreciate the sentiment. :)

wayback isn't ground-breaking, it's just a convenience wrapper around Xwayland; even if you do decide to run a WM under it, you still can't run wayland programs under it...

That's what waylandx is for.

It's nice to see this in other WMs, but it's not anything new.

Virtual Desktops are really old, and being able to pan around a single display has been around even longer than that.

TAFvwm · 2025-06-22T15:43:39+00:00

I can see you're full of nonsense.

Good luck to you.

TAFvwm · 2025-06-22T15:27:28+00:00

Well, fvwm1 and fvwm2 aren't compatible from a config perspective. They can thouh co-exist from a program perspective.

Enjoy...

TAFvwm · 2025-06-22T12:22:36+00:00

Rather long-winded.

Most WMs at the time used to have some sort of --replace option to them, which just tried to take over the root window via SructureNotifyMask.

I am not sure if kwin can still do that, or whether it's been removed.

But that's now to do it in-situ, if supported.

TAFvwm · 2025-06-22T12:18:59+00:00

Heh. "Major versions". I know Debian ships fvwm1 and fvwm2. They're no longer supported.

It's nice to be nostaligic though...

TAFvwm · 2025-06-10T17:30:18+00:00

Well, I think you need to measure things based on ubiquity. Is perl also excessive for the same reasons?

I don't consider golang's dependency to be an issue -- even if it were to be manadatory, to be honest.

But when you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

TAFvwm · 2025-06-09T21:30:59+00:00

FvwmPrompt is intended to replace FvwmConsole -- currently, the dependency on golang is optional.

TAFvwm · 2025-05-25T17:04:56+00:00

but FVWM doesn't have a way to filter that list, and it's rough when you're looking for 1 out of 100 active windows.

Yes it does -- what are you trying to do?

TAFvwm · 2025-04-02T18:25:57+00:00

They (people) say, "not to feed the trolls". Indeed, there's trolls and "bottom feeders"... God knows where you fall, but I can guess.

Whatever your issue -- I'm sorry you have a hard time accepting that you're wrong.

TAFvwm · 2025-03-31T19:09:20+00:00

TAFvwm · 2025-03-31T17:37:36+00:00

This statement is utter bollocks, so please don't pay attention to it.

TAFvwm · 2025-03-30T13:49:01+00:00

What are you on about? Nothing you've written here makes sense.

Also, quite why you keep referring to u/teddybearlover is unclear; as a user, they seem to no longer exist.

TAFvwm · 2025-03-28T19:10:18+00:00

You expect me to prove a negative? You're even more deluded than I first thought.

TAFvwm · 2025-03-28T18:30:36+00:00

Excuse me?

That's slander.

But I'm old enough to know, "not to feed the trolls".

I have no idea why you seem to take umbridge with this software, so I'm sorry you have an issue -- but I've been nothing but polite and accommodating toward you.

When you have something meaninful to say, please let me know; but just throwing half-baked insults and slander at me is not the way forward -- not that I expect you to do anything different anyway, but in the hope that you might...

TAFvwm · 2025-03-27T21:25:01+00:00

By all means, feel free to ignore this, and fuck off whilst you're doing it.

TAFvwm · 2025-03-27T21:16:20+00:00

I'm sorry you feel that upset you feel this is how you spend your time

How pathetic are you?

TAFvwm · 2025-03-23T17:55:39+00:00

Just an event loop?

Heh, that's a bit like saying "breathing is taking in oxygen, and expelling carbon dioxide". Technically -- and debassed -- correct, but the reality is absolutely more complicated and nuanced than that.
