I've been using #windowmaker on/off for like 20 years and i still find new things about it

Well, it works. But not for me.

What i had in mind when i thought i could get used to a hidpi display while using #windowmaker #dockapps and a bitmap font?
It turned out to be easier to get back to a lower resolution display than to unrice my desktop and get used to a new one.

So i reinstalled the original 1600x900 display; and am selling the new one.

If anyone wants to buy a 2560x1440 matte display with the eDP to LVDS converter for #thinkpad #T430 (also works on T420, T430s and T420s), i am selling this one WITH* the adapted top lid cover (i had to sand down some nubs for the display to fit), so you do not need to diassemble it all and adapt; AND with the webcam and LED boards (because they are screwed into the lid).

I'm selling the lid with all stickers i had in it: only one. A single faux-leather dog-nose-like vinyl adhesive covering it entirelly (for a bonus business laptop look).

*if you do not have a T430 or do not want the lid or do not want to pay more for the lid and webcam/led boards, i can sell only the display and the converter.

Preferably to brazil or mercusur for easy (for me) shipping.

@cwebber After cringing hard, seeing early #Unix Window Managers like twm and fvwm, it was such a breath of fresh air to see #WindowMaker. I rocked a WindowMaker desktop from about 1998 to about 2002, in #Debian #linux

Next up:

* update my websites. have lots of content that is waiting.

* maybe #VibeCode a #Fluxbox replacement? I love Fluxbox, have been on it for years, but like the #WindowMaker #Dockapps, it is pretty much finished, and I worry it will eventually be unmaintained. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any similar stacking window managers. Of course, vibecoding an x11 window manager --- what could possibly go wrong? (Everything. Everything could go wrong.) So, we'll see how that goes.

Tempted to take my #windowmaker theme from y2k blue to antique autumn.

Back to the distro-hopping!

I'm planning to install #Arch with #WindowMaker this time around. There's just something about that clean, functional UI that never gets oldโ€”the perfect blend of stability and that classic #NeXTSTEP aesthetic.

Does anyone still run Window Maker in 2026? How's the daily driver experience?

Also, looking for tips on customization. What are your go-to tools or dotfiles setups to make it truly yours?
