nwg-drawer 0.2.0 released

To benefit from new features, the way you start the program needs to be changed. See release notes.

That seems a good change (for performance), though it may be confusing to users why new programs don't show up immediately.

They do. There’s the watcher for that.

Thank you! There will be one more update soon, to resolve #31, but it won't change anything in config.

nwg-dock 0.2.0 released

This release adds inter-process communication to allow running the dock residently without hotspots. From now on you may auto-start the dock with the nwg-dock -r command and show/hide it with the nwg-dock command w/o arguments, assigned to a key or button.

See https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-dock#running

Sounds more Version 1.0 than 0.2 :slight_smile:

I have become more careful with versioning recently. Especially with the software I don't really use daily (nwg-dock, nwg-menu).

Is this basically dwm but in Wayland?

Basically. In fact without patches it was quite useless, so 2000 LOC rule seems too strict here. 3 or 4 patches let you make an useful compositor out of it.

Nice, although I have no idea what 2000 LOC means... Window managers are still very much a foreign language to me. But I've been curious to try one when the right moment arrives. This seems like it might be a good reason to

Limited to 2000 Lines Of Code. While dwm implements all the basic stuff with this limitation, dwl does not. Some things that I find essential (e.g. drag and drop) are still pull requests. It’s quite easy to apply them as patches, but first you need to know they even exist. I put some info about it here.

Provided that you can live with the need to compile on each config change. Neither dwm nor dwl have an external config file.
