Justine SmithiesI daily <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RiverWM</a> but I am also trialling <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=labwc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Labwc</a><br>
Justine SmithiesStill playing with <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=labwc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Labwc</a> and trying to hate it but failing miserably. I'm a tiling WM girl at heart but I'm actually liking the way Labwc works. There's no IPC for external control, You just use keybinds, rules and maybe some scripting magic with the likes of <code>wlrctl</code> or <code>wob</code>. I'm still running <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RiverWM</a> as my daily though and just testing Labwc to see what's on the otherside but hey. ;)<br><a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenBox</a><br>
Justine SmithiesSome window managers do have that facility under Wayland. I'm running <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RiverWM</a> and it has also I know <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=swaywm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SwayWM</a> has too. There are most likely unclutter type progs too but I've not searched ?<br>

Justine SmithiesPlaying around with <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=labwc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Labwc</a> just to get that retro <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=openbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Openbox</a> feel.

Justine SmithiesWhy am I reading from the <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=herbstluftwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Herbstluftwm</a> website ? I really like my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> setup with <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RiverWM</a> and why would I even want to use <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=x11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#X11</a> again ??<br>
Wesley Moore<p>To deal with the tearing issues with the B580 I started building a Wayland environment to replace my AwesomeWM setup. Going ok so far with river+river-lautile, Eww for the bar, and yofi as launcher. Next I need to work out how to map the compose key in Wayland and sort out why dunst is crashing.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/Wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wayland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>riverwm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ArchLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArchLinux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a></p>
chupson<p>Hey, I want to start being more active on Mastodon, so here's my <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a> :</p><p>I'm a student passionate about technology, Linux, and programming. I'm mostly self-taught, but I plan to study computer science once I go to university.</p><p>I'm a huge <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> nerd, I use <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/archlinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archlinux</span></a> (btw) and I run <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>riverwm</span></a> (an amazing <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wayland</span></a> compositor). My editor is the incredible <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/neovim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neovim</span></a>.

I love the way that it handles multi-headed setups for the most part and the way it is configured is refreshing for a window manager. <br><br>On my desktop, I have 2 monitors and river lets each monitor have its own set of tags which is nice.<br><br>I have yet to make good use of the tag feature and for the most part have been treating the tags like workspaces. This doesn't cause too many issues but tags come with some extra restrictions that make it less ideal if you are only using them the way you would workspaces. Maybe these can be ironed out but I don't know a solution. <br><br>I have been using the tag system more on my laptop than on my desktop probably because it only has 1 screen. On my desktop, if I want to have 1 program open and rotate between 1 or 2 programs open next to it, I can have the main program open in my main monitor and my second monitor can be used to rotate between the other programs that I want to have open next to it. <br><br>On the laptop this isn't possible but I have found the tag system to be useful for this. I can have tag 1 focused, say on emacs, and when I want I can focus a second or third tag with lecture slides, a browser or something else. I can also put a floating window with a video on one of my tags and then focus that tag with whatever other tag I am currently using so that I can keep the floating window with me as I move around my system.<br><br>As for using the tags like workspaces, it works for the most part but I have noticed some quirks. I am unable to jump to a window using rofi. This is likely hard to implement as a window could be on multiple tags and there is no good way to decide which tag to focus. Maybe a way it could be implemented is to instead have the currently focused tag/s added to the window.<br><br>When using multiple monitors, you can't drag a floating window onto another monitor and so you have to use the keyboard shortcut which isn't too much of an issue. When you move a window to another monitor, instead of moving it to the currently focused tags on that monitor, it moves it to the tags matching the ones it occupied on the previous monitor. This isn't an issue per se, just something that was counterintuitive to how I thought it should work. <br><br>There have been 1 or 2 minor issues with hidpi support for some apps but I don't think they are necessarily rivers fault. One example is with element messenger. When I enabled 2x scaling, instead of scaling the app, it instead shrunk the size of the window. River seemed to think it was normal size though as other windows moved around it as if it was taking up the normal space and I had to click where UI elements would have been if it was taking up the normal space. <br><br>Overall I have been enjoying it a lot, and will continue using it for at least a few more months</span></p>
lhp<p>Added double-bezel borders and this is starting to look good.</p><p>A shame that UI has moved away from this kind of style; So I'll just have to bring it back, I guess 👽</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>riverwm</span></a></p>

Zoe 💜<p><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/riverwm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#riverwm</a><span> <br><br>One more question. Is there a way to get the tags of a specific window or the window currently focused?</span></p>

lhp<p>The thing I am currently stuck on, design wise, is how high-level the library should be. A good example: Do I hold back on new-window events until the update event, so that the title / app-id of the windows can be gathered first, sending an event containing the new window and all available meta-data to the library caller. Or should all Wayland events just be relayed "raw", leaving any such logic to the caller?</p><p>Should that caching be done in the C library or the Scheme bindings?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>riverwm</span></a></p>

Justine SmithiesJust noticed an issue with my <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RiverWM</a> desktop setup that I've had for a few years and never noticed until today. I use the lf file manager to set my wallpaper by typing bg. This worked perfectly but what I hadn't noticed is that it didn't change the swayidle wallpaper to match.<br>After a few minutes of thought and some jiggling around with various scripts it now works perfectly. Pushed changes to my git repo. 👌<br>
