CoW has now gained a new "module" -- cowident.

The image below shows what it does. When you run it, it will force you to select a window to then report properties on.

It's analogous to FvwmIdent from #fvwm3

Not the sexiest thing in the world, I know, but maybe useful both for those tweaking their config, and for diagnostic purposes.

That's why #FvwmIdent was created -- to allow for diagnostics.

It's getting sunnier here in England, and so Angus needs some sun protection (apparently!)

Mooo.

Todays' Guardian crossword -- 29,994 was set by Tramp.

For me, Tramp is up there with the likes of Boatman, Enigmatist, and Brendan for being a tricky setter, but excellent surfaces.

For instance:

9,12dn: "Flooring Keir Starmer – depict end, primarily lost to Reform (13,6)"

Definition is: "flooring".

Nice spot of Tramp's to realise that if you anagramise "Keir Starmer depict e" (because "end primarily" is "e", and "lost to Reform" is the anagram indicator -- not to mention Reform is a so-called Political Party here in the UK), you get:

KIDDERMINSTER CARPET

Which looks like this:

Saw this on another site, looks like something I might try:

Currently working on squeeze titlebars.

This is something which some people wanted in fvwm, and it actually comes from #ctwm, whereby the titlebar was squeezed to its length so it didn't take up the whole width of the window.

Wayland doesn't have any shape support (a la XShape extension) so doing this manually is tricky.

Anyway, screenshot attached of what squeezed titlebars will look like in CoW. Options for left, centre, or right aligned.
