#fvwm #cow #wayland

Window borders and titlebars can now have colour gradients -- as shown in the screenshot below, the gradients can either be vertical or horizontal.

For example:

set titlebar.active_gradient HGradient 0x0000FF 0xFF33FF

Blends the two colours together, 50/50 for the width of the titlebar.

Version 3.7 will be released soon.

This release features a big change to how panes can be managed.

Panes can be told to be floating, and thus not part of the layout of that window (bound to '*' by default). See the `new-pane` command.

By default status line 2 shows the pane layouts (including floating panes).

Panes can also have scrollbars (see the attached screenshot; cowsay has scrollback and is shown via the grey scrollbar, and the red square).

The screenshot attached shows the above.

I personally do not think it's something I'm ever likely to use, but I'm sure some of you will want to try it. :)

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.

#cow

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

Mooo.

#cow #fvwm #wayland

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.

#cow #fvwm #wayland

Hey all. For anyone who's following along. I've just merged support for pages in #cow.

This is also accompanied with a pager.

From what testing I've done, this seems to work for me -- no doubt there's bugs.

The example config in the repo shows what you which settings to enable to make pages work.

If you're interested in giving it a go, please do!

#cow #footstall #beltedgalloway

Well. We have a new foot stall.

Meet Bertie, the Belted Galloway.

My wife has added eyes to him. There’s four different ones. Gives him a nice personality.

#fvwm #fvwm3 #wayland

Let's play spot the difference!

One, both, or none of two screenshots are from fvwm3.

Can you guess which?

If not, could you maybe guess is one of the screenshots is based on wayland? ;)

In all seriousness, I'm trying to emulate the fvwm/mwm look in #hikari -- and I think the results are impressive, especially if you can't tell which image is from which #wm.
