IceWM 3.7 Window Manager Brings Enhanced Customization
—Linuxiac
｢ On the fixes front, IceWM 3.7 addresses several longstanding quirks. One important tweak ensures the last event time is always used when setting window focus. At the same time, the fix for the desktop-focus glitch now prevents the user interface from getting stuck after undoing a “show the desktop” command ｣

Die Konsole ist doch das einzige was wirkliche Fortschritte gemacht hat bei Windows...
Ich habe Arbeitstechnisch immer auch (täglich) #Windows benutzen/programmieren müssen - wenn man #Linux (bei mir mit #IceWM) und #MacOS auch benutzt ist Windoofs einfach auf allen Ebenen immer schlechter geworden - was genau... ist schwer zu benennen, weil es alles außer der Konsole betrifft.
Linux verbessert seine Fehler/Unzulänglichkeiten - Windows verschlimmbessert nur.
I mean, I totally get that if you only ever use gnome.
If you don't care to use Gnome because:
..and so you find yourself using #KDE, or #i3wm, or #sway, or heck, #jwm, #twm, #ctwm, #cwm, #icewm, or whatever...
...and you open a Gnome app. What do you get? An application that's integrated nicely with the rest of your system? Heck no! You get an app that sticks out like a sore thumb. Honestly, everything that happens within the application window is up to the devs, and I don't begrudge whatever style you use there. But taking over the titlebar I simply will not tolerate.
Honestly, if not for the CSDs, I'd never complain about Gnome. I'd use whatever (ethical) solution works best for my workflow and go about my day. But now using gnome apps feels like it's an advertisement for a cult-like mentality. I open Gnome Web, or Gnome Disks, Gnome Boxes, or whatnot, and boom, I'm lost. Where's my titlebar color? Gone. Which window is active? No blasted idea.
Sorry for the rant, I just really can't stand that. Other than that, I could say a lot of positive things about gnome. I'm glad they're there. But the mentality is feeling more cultish/corporate all the time.
Just published my new @tilvids video about IceWM, a minimal stacking window manager for Linux and BSD. I show you how to install, use and customize it.

Question for my #linux #i3 and #icewm users. 1st an intro to my question: I've been using #icewm on my #archlinux install for very long time. It's on a laptop but circumstances dictate I need to connect additional monitors that need to work independent from each. Meaning, I will need one to run videos while another is running script and another will be my main workspace. I need to see each one at all times. I used #i3 in the past and have a config but I want to stay with #icewm

TuxWiz, our Debian GNU/Linux Blend for Linux Retro Gamers has received a complete visual overhaul. We now make use of the popular Dracula theme and it just looks stunning. So if you want to check it out, visit our website https://spacefun.ch and click on the Community button for a download.
Do you remember SUN JDS (Java Desktop System)? It was a beautifully modified version of GNOME 2. Even a Live CD based on Morphix was available.
Sadly, the internet (even archive.org) has forgotten mostly everything about it. If you still have a copy of the JDS Live CD, please contact me, and I am going to build an IceWM theme based on the design.

#IceWM 3.4 Released With Improved Keybindings Handling
https://www.phoronix.com/news/IceWM-3.4-Released
This weekend's tech activity was to put #antiX Linux on the former parents redundant EOL'd Chromebook. Success! And a very nice Debian based distro without the systemd overhead. #icewm boots to 140mb.
Now if I can figure out how to get the latest #MrChromebox firmware and replace an this aged #Seamonkey based firmware, I'd be set.
