CTWM
----
CTWM is an extension to twm, that support multiple virtual screens,
and a lot of other goodies.
You can use and manage up to 32 virtual screens called workspaces.
You swap from one workspace to another by clicking on a button in an
optionnal panel of buttons (the workspace manager) or by invoking a function.
You can custom each workspace by choosing different colors, names
and pixmaps for the buttons and background root windows.
Main features are :
- Optional 3D window titles and border (ala Motif).
- Shaped, colored icons.
- Multiple icons for clients based on the icon name.
- Windows can belong to several workspaces.
- A map of your workspaces to move quickly windows between
different workspaces.
- Animations : icons, root backgrounds and buttons can be animated.
- Pinnable and sticky menus.
- etc...
The sources files are just the twm ones plus two : workmgr.[ch].
workmgr.[ch] were built from scratch, but the twm ones are slightly
modified. I tried to minimize the modifications, and it is even
possible (but not sure) that certain future twm patches could be
applied to ctwm sources files. But don't rely on this.
I certainly introduced many bugs with these modifications. So, be
tolerant.
If you are happy with ctwm, or find bugs, send me a note to :
Claude.Lecommandeur@epfl.ch
Installation :
funny prompt> xmkmf
funny prompt> make
If you don't have xpm, fetch it from ftp.x.org or comment out the
#define XPM in Imakefile. If you don't have the m4 preprocessor (or
don't want to use it) comment out #define USEM4, if you have the
rplay package replace #undef USE_SOUND, by #define USE_SOUND.
There is a man, but not quite complete (any volunteer ?). Many
useful informations are only in the CHANGES file, so, read it.
There is a mailing list : ctwm@cognac.epfl.ch, subscribe at :
ctwm-request@cognac.epfl.ch.
