rx3wm Build Status

Fork of xr3wm.

i3 and xmonad inspiered tiling window manager written in Rust.

Why fork?

The original xr3wm crashed repeatedly on my system. The version I cloned from GitHub did not even build. I want a working WM written in Rust that I can hack on in my free time. wtftw doesn't fit the model I'm interested in (basically, an i3 clone in Rust) so forking xr3wm is the most obvious choice.

Besides that, I'd rather fork an existing WM that is almost there than write one from scratch. I'm a busy guy and don't want to waste time learning how window managers work when I can get a head-start using open-source code.

Running

This software is super alpha, so log your debug output:

$ startx &>> ~/xr3wm.log

ToDo

  • never crash
  • i3 style manual splitting
  • improve config usability
  • user documentation
  • load config as dynamic library

Credits

Please have a look at Kintaros wm wtftw. He helped me a lot with my implementation and stupid questions.
