Hedon James 853 Posted January 16 Wow...this is the most modern looking take on Window Maker I have seen. This may tempt me to tinker with WM in a VM?! Does WM have a native right click desktop/root menu? Or would I have to add something like jgmenu for that functionality? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
securitybreach 10,602 Posted January 16 I do not as I have not used it since the early 2000s but Abarbarian could tell you for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saturnian 596 Posted January 16 Yeah, that looks nice! I used Window Maker for awhile but it's been years. Hedon James, check out this site: https://www.windowmaker.org/ Dig around there -- all the info you'll need is there, as I recall. And you can see the menu in that screen shot on the Window Maker home page, might be enough to answer your question. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is so ingrained in me now, that it's one of my first criteria. If it doesn't have one, I'm adding jgmenu right away! LOL! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saturnian 596 Posted January 17 I know what you mean -- I love having that desktop right-click menu, too! As I recall, Window Maker's was a bit different. I can't remember what exactly was different about it, though! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abarbarian 3,146 Posted January 27 Yup you can right click right from the get go in Window Maker. I seem to remember that there are a few good tips in this thread, https://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.php?/topic/56171-window-maker/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saturnian 596 Posted January 31 I was using Window Maker about 5 years ago, in Bridge Linux. The official documentation and this Arch wiki page were very helpful to me. I thought it was quite interesting that menus/submenus could be "detached", then could be kept open and moved around the desktop -- that's a feature I haven't seen elsewhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That detach feature is neat. I use it when I am choosing a new theme. Or if I like the look of my windows etc and just want a new background I detach the "images" section and try out different wallpapers. So easy to change themes as you do not need a restart. An if you like to make your own theme up it is a doddle to accomplish. Arch has a ton of dock apps some usefull and some just total time wasters. I have several more that I have found the source files for and intend testing them out at some point. If you would like any or any of the themes give us a shout.

I do not think that you have to restart in any environment to apply a theme as they can be changed on the fly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
