cornishbeaver I know, if you scroll through some of my older posts, you will find that I did use a system with no bar for a long time.

Still today, the bar is optional and lauched through a keybinding when I feel like having it on, it doesn't start by default.

    On the topic of bars, I'm also a fan of desktops without one and have been using a bar-less setup for years. Well, until recently. Ironically I'm now a big fan of having a small border-less status bar under my wallpaper.

    Lemonbar is goat.

    Both the width of the bar and wallpaper doesn't exceed my 80 character wide terminal, they get hidden as soon as I launch a terminal (for maximum distraction free writing environment).

    pin Really nice, how is upgrading the packages by source on NetBSD. Also is the top bar something built into marswm or something else?

    • pin replied to this.

        TheDantee updating everything from source is no major issue, depending on how you do it and, how often you do it.

        As for the bar, it comes with marswm. Quoting the README.MD from Github:

        In addition to the window manager this repository also contains the library it is built on, an accompanying status bar and an ipc client to control the window manager from external scripts.

          It's been a while since I've shared a screenshot. Probably because my setup is still the same as before...

          Edit: So my fetch is incorrect in reflecting my WM as sxhkd when it is infact sdorfehs
          I was mucking around with wmutils and while it's now commented out, my fetch reads the last line of my xinitrc which is currently sxhkd

          pin I like this a lot 🙂

          JuvenalUrbino btw, this is amazing!

              Been a while since I've been round these parts, so here is my latest:

              OpenBSD -current, ncmpcpp/mpd, irssi, htop and trusty neofetch.

              Annnnnd another with solarized light for when I want a bit of colour in my life.

              Openbsd -current, cwm, irssi, ncmpcpp, htop, xclock and a script for volume and battery status piped to dzen2.

              Been using my mac for far too long and have forgot how much fun it is to control every facet of my machine!

              My Pinebook Pro running Plasma (whilst also running my wm-less X on another screen).
              I mostly wanted to show off how well wpa_gui runs on this setup; I never really tried to do anything like this till today (normally use wpa_cli) It sure is nicer than Network Manager.

              Also have an Amiga 2.0 lookalike mouse pointer.

                KDE 4, I'd guess. Although, I do see WM: KWin in the screenshot?! What's the magic to overcome the libinput and libudev dependencies?

                    pin yes, kde4, from pkgsrc. As for magic, I have no idea. I just compile it (for days). I use it on multiple machines, with i386, amd64, and aarch64.

                    Fwiw I've been using it since NetBSD 5

                        My other screen when I want to roll with tiling.

                        Sdorfehs with gruvbox dark.
