My dark cyan FVWM theme adjusted for NetBSD, with the addition of lemonbar.

JuvenalUrbino I don't suppose you would share your theme configs? That is a beautiful theme.

Since I started using NetBSD as a desktop OS on workstation too, I thought I had to come up with something new. I was looking for a motif-bsd theme like that I made of the Solaris VM, but also wanted to part from the usual fvwm/ctwm.
I wondered if I could build a usable desktop with wm/emwm, the Enhanced Motif Window Manager, and I think can consider myself satisfied wit the result. I'm confident @pin will rejoice at the sight of this 😛.

You know it's not my cup of tee but, very well done.

this is so cool...thanks for sharing

oui

JuvenalUrbino This is art. My eyes enjoy this very much, thanks for sharing! I'm always amazed by how you manage to put everything together in such a tasteful way. There's also something very charming about the brutalist design language of the motif toolkit.

Hey, I'll drink it for you 🤗

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!

oui Hey, I'll drink it for you

🤣 be my guest!

openbsd 7.4 ? Time for upgrade and also for a change. Fluxbox...

rebo

Fresh install of OpenBSD 7.4, I3wm and some small tweaks. Kinda like it this far 🙂

I finally got round to taking a screenshot. This is a Pinebook Pro from the second batch, (early 2020) which has been running NetBSD since the day I got it. I mostly use this one for software development when I'm away from my desk. (Sometimes I use it on the treadmill!).

There is no window manager per se. Window management is done by a simple script running xdotool. (I do have a newer PBP running NetBSD that I use for more "normal" uses).

As you can see my desktop is pretty vanilla. I use the old TWM., because I like it's simplicity and it gets out of the way.

I like the simplicity of it

cornishbeaver Nice, no bar 😉

cornishbeaver

pin I'm not the biggest fan of taskbars. They seem pointless to me.

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.

My main monitor. cwm, plan9 stuff.

This is my Wacom One Screen Tablet.

I love CWM, always try to promote it. It doesn't get enough love imo

oui

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).

I have now also installed DWM, I don't think I'll bother with a wallpaper.

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

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.
