This repository has moved to https://git.wesk.tech/wes/Nimwin
A very simple X11 window manager written in Nim, and inspired by TinyWM and XMonad.
Install nim and nimble and run nimble build. You must have XLib development headers on your system (and obviously an X server).
- Install Xephyr
- Make sure you have a running X server Then run these commands to launch Xephyr.
Xephyr -ac -screen 1280x1024 -br -reset -terminate 2> /dev/null :1 &
env DISPLAY=:1 ./nimwin
Put exec /path/to/nimwin in your ~/.xinitrc
If you want to run xterm, for example, just set NIMWIN_LAUNCHER to a launcher (e.g. dmenu), and then type Alt + p to invoke it.
alt + right click allows you to resize, alt + left click allows you to move, ctrl + alt + return opens an xterm, and alt + tab cycles through windows, changing the focus each time. alt + t makes a window full-screen.
