@jwmkit, if you see this post, let me know if you have interest in doing this.

found one other idea you may have interest in:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/logout … w-manager/

I mention this,  because your dialog box for jwmkit when you go to logout, is missing a few options, tell me if you are interested in this as well.

@zapper
Sorry I missed your post.  I didn't see it until you pointed it out in the other thread.

Yes you can make JWM look nice and colorful like the screenshot.  If you want it identical it will require extra effort, and you can't make the corners as round, but it's close.  The number 1 thing you need is not even JWM related.  It's the GTK theme.  Anyone know what theme is in the screen shot?  Maybe Graybird or Clearlooks? Then use JWM Kit's various tools to match the JWM appearance to the GTK Theme.  Colors, font size. window height, etc.  If you want the same icons for the window title buttons you will have to acquire the icons from the original source or recreate them.

As far as the logout prompt.  You could easily replace the JWM Kit's logout prompt with that one or any other.   My original goal was to be very basic with no frills. I have considered a design that allows users to expand it and add their own buttons.  For example the user could add a lock button and   define the command to lock the screen.  What all options do you need? hibernate, suspend, and lock?

Lock and suspend for the logout options would be good, hibernate? I don't need it personally and I don't know if even Hyperbola supports it  at this time, now and/or if it will in the future beyond the 0.4 version.

If you download the latest version of their window manager, its 2014? I think? but it might have some interesting clues within it...

That being said, now that I think of it, something just came to me:

https://joewing.net/projects/jwm/screen … wm-2.2.png

I am curious now, what is that ram, cpu, weather,  disk, network, processes

system graph program called? I have tried to find it since a long time ago, cannot figure it out...

Also, curious on the level of memory/cpu usage, in general...

Actually, email me, me regarding if you feel like this discussion will go on and on...

Just for the sake of forum sanity.

Since there was not that much feedback: The following window-managers are getting more attention.

pekwm
evilwm
yeahtools / yeahwm

That's it: Three possible replacements and three are going to be removed then. The window-managers to be removed:

spectrwm = does not start
windwm = does not start
stumpwm = cannot be configured correctly

Never used any of them, but they look kind of bland, at first glance, unless windwm is any good.

Hmm.... it looks somewhat better than I thought...

I could check I guess if its still on here.

Brb...

Edit: It seems to be broken as far as I can see...

Unless someone knows why it doesn't do anything when it loads.

That being said, though... their included info with the window manager is useless though... even if you aren't using windwm.

I could check further, but its not really important at this time, so do whatever.

pekwm
evilwm
yeahtools / yeahwm

That's it: Three possible replacements and three are going to be removed then. The window-managers to be removed:

spectrwm = does not start
windwm = does not start
stumpwm = cannot be configured correctly

To make that clear: This is not meant as next wish-possibility.
There won't be more desktop-environments added, just alternative window-managers for the ones being marked for removal. Nothing more, nothing less.

The first one: pekwm

This makes plenty of sense,  no time anyhow at this time...

When there will be no tests being done, the mentioned packages will be removed and we will just add what we can test for sure and that will be for sure a minimized amount of the named packages here.

For sure the font-issue needs fixing. Nevertheless: The packages mentioned can be removed and others can be used. My list here as proposal:

goomwm
pekwm
pawm
tinywm
evilwm
mcwm
2bwm

evilwm seems interesting

^_^

The first one: pekwm

If it is okay: I stay at the point. Building first in a clean environment (chroot) as in our build-server. Afterwards I'll create another thread listing the PKGBUILD-script and the additional files. The meaning for this step is the same as for hplip-drivers. Having clear tests!

Gotcha, I have added other wm ideas and one DE...

Gotta check the DE, it looks flashy, which means it might need dbus...

Will find out soon, if it doesn't, feel free to add it if you wish.

Edit: Seems that isn't a problem, however...

there are a few building issues, that I see...

If anyone feels like fixing this up for HyperbolaBSD, or in general, that's one thing, but I somehow think this should be waited on till Hyperbola devs have more time... unless g4jc has interest...

He had interest in xynth at one point, which strangely enough, is what xfast was based on...

EDIT: Better idea, maybe I should ask jwmkit creator if he could make tjwmkit allow people to make jwm, look like that.  That being said, looking like it, is fine, being as bloated, not fine whatsoever...

This is the DE I would love to emulate:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/xfast/

@jwmkit, if you see this post, let me know if you have interest in doing this.

Thank you for all your work to help  make jwm even better! 

Btw,

found one other idea you may have interest in:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/logout … w-manager/

I mention this,  because your dialog box for jwmkit when you go to logout, is missing a few options, tell me if you are interested in this as well.

My bad, then...

I found two more if that's the case...

https://uwm.sourceforge.io/
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mazewm/

Btw, I have the latest versions of both, just in case...

I also found this:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/logout … w-manager/

Found these also:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/wmluz.mgstep.p/

https://sourceforge.net/projects/xfast/

the last one I have to check to see if it requires dbus or other bullcrap...

I will let you know when I know...

goomwm
pekwm
pawm
tinywm
evilwm
mcwm
2bwm

I would propose to set the corresponding PKGBUILDs here first for a tryout. Would this be okay and are you firm with using makepkg?

Well, there are two different ways: Either we remove the corresponding packages

I suggest the removal of packages when there is an alternative or there are similar  packages (see Wimdow Manager)

Anyway...

It could be that the problem with the fonts that prevents stumpwm than not being configured to be the cause that  spectrwm and windwm do not start.
