#TIL that there was Photoshop for Silicon Graphics workstations and it looks great in its #Motif garb.

I've been an #fvwm user for a long time (early 2000's) and I've always appreciated it being more configurable than any other window manager out there.

But lately, there's been a few excellent scriptable window managers popping up that have it beat. After many random attempts, I've finally switched the main desktop to #awesomewm

The biggest challenge has been how to make it not look so darn flat. I like my #cde / #motif / #4dwm / whatever style borders, so getting that implemented in awesomewm took me an embarrassingly long time, but the fact that I was able to do it, is certainly a testament to it's customizability.

Video of what it looks like:

Got the #MKDOCs machine fired-up... maybe I'll get more of the #manual done next week? It's mostly stubs right now but, I will at least use a #Motif. It is sporting my custom #font of course.

I changed tense at some point, it was late. I'll get back to it another time maybe.
