Hi,
WMII ( Window Manager Improved 2 ) is a dynamic window manager for X11. It supports classic and dynamic window management with extended keyboard, mouse, and filesystem based remote control. It replaces the workspace paradigm with a new tagging approach.
Its minimalist philosophy attempts to not exceed 10.000 lines of code (including all shipped utilities and libraries), to enforce simplicity and clarity.
It's very lightweight, easy to use, it's the best choice for those who love simplicity, well-organized highly customizable desktop, it's not the best choice for KDE-like lovers (Sorry but I said KDE coz KDE is very bloated).
Anyway wmii support confguration code can be written in any script language, bash, python, perl and of course the best is Ruby.
Mauricio Fernandez. wrote the whole configuration file in Ruby, which makes it faster and lot easier to maintain, check out http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?scripting+wmii+with+ruby for more information.
Dapper does not provide WMII 3 but WMII 2, so you have to install it from edgy, so go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/x11/wmii and download your version and install it
same goes for powerpc and amd64 get the links from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/w/wmii/Code:wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/w/wmii/wmii_3.1-1_i386.deb dpkg -i wmii_3.1-1_i386.deb
Now you need configurations, so either use original code from http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?wmii+ruby
or use my modified one
you can also get my configs from http://wael.nasreddine.com/files/con.../wael/.wmii-3/ (always up-to-date)Code:apt-get install subversion cd /tmp svn export svn://wael.nasreddine.com/wael/trunk/personal/config/home/wael/.wmii-3 wmii-3 --username config # Password is config too cp -a wmii-3 ~/.wmii-3
Finally here's some screenshots...
