I personally got fed up with gtk+/gnome (its slow/bloat), qt/kde (licensing / bloat) and wanted a back to basics , cool light, fast gui toolkit. So I thought I shall give it a shot. Yes I would like to see more apps, particularly a superb lightweight
email client and web browser and ofcourse terminal.And maybe we should study the UIs of MAC more closely and probably see how window maker can be improved to make usage more easier without sacrificing its power and felxibility. Maybe instead of those small icons down in the screen a small menu on top say about 20 pixels or so can do?. This will also give access to root menu which right now takes some working if you have a maximized window, either switch desktop or minimize all max windows. And a maximize button
will go a long way.Can I take a shot at implementing max buttons in wm. If I do it, it will take some time since I have to understand the source
code and only then proceed. Greetings vinny Jason H Clouse wrote:
I think that's a good idea. If we have more frequent releases, it makes the project look more busy. If people look and see that the last release was 6 months ago, they aren't going to think much is going on (when there really is quite a bit of work being done).
