Zoe 💜Today, I rewrote my <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/riverwm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#riverwm</a> configs in <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/clojure" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#clojure</a>. It was fun but also, I should really stop procrastinating on that uni assignment. No git repo, I might upload later

lhpFinished the keybind / pointerbind system.I think it's quite elegant, since a user can either add to the list of binding configs, or clear it to get rid of the default bindings.Keybinds and pointerbinds are abstracted into a single interface.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#riverwm</a>

Justine SmithiesAnyone else running a <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> WM under <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=wlroots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wlroots</a> and it freezes your computer to the point that nothing works not even switching TTY ? I thought it was <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RiverWM</a> related but it happens with <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=swaywm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SwayWM</a> too. If I don't start a Wayland session my computer is fine all day. But under Wayland I'm starting to get these random freezes like twice a day and the only cure is to hold the power button. I mean I'm tempted to revert back to X11 for stability so any info or ideas would be gratefully received. Oh and I'm running <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> too.

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>

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. ;) <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>

thesaigoneerI was happily interrupted by AerynOS yesterday. But the focus today was on FreeBSD Current, with the River wm. All up and running, tomorrow tweaking day. And FreeBSD is snappy, quick and no unnecessary fluff included. Great to look forward too! <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#riverwm</a>

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 ?

Use case example: I want a slide and one other view like a notepad visible on my laptop screen and I want just the slide visible on my second output connected via hdmi

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. Do you use Labwc ? Have you tried it ? Maybe share your thoughts, tips, dot files or screenshots ? <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> I'm not moving from <a href="https://snac.smithies.me.uk?t=riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RiverWm</a> I'm just exploring <a href="https://github.com/labwc/labwc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/labwc/labwc</a>

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 ??

Wesley MooreTo 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.<a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/Wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#riverwm</a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ArchLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArchLinux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a>

chupsonHey, 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">#introduction</a> :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.I'm a huge <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> nerd, I use <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/archlinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archlinux</a> (btw) and I run <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#riverwm</a> (an amazing <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wayland</a> compositor). My editor is the incredible <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/neovim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neovim</a>. And all of that runs on my beloved <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@frameworkcomputer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@frameworkcomputer</a> laptopAside from all the computer stuff I also really like reading. I mostly read fiction (with a slight preference for fantasy) but I do enjoy the occasional non-fic book

I am really enjoying it, it feels much closer to xmonad than hyprland did which I like and it runs mostly smoothly. 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. On my desktop, I have 2 monitors and river lets each monitor have its own set of tags which is nice. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Overall I have been enjoying it a lot, and will continue using it for at least a few more months

lhpAdded double-bezel borders and this is starting to look good.A shame that UI has moved away from this kind of style; So I'll just have to bring it back, I guess 👽<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#riverwm</a>

lhpfinally...Also: Yes, gradient text colour 🕶️<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#riverwm</a>

lhpand we have widgets. finally managed to use all that drawing code I wrote weeks ago<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/riverwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#riverwm</a>

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

Zoe 💜<a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/riverwm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#riverwm</a> Does anyone know how to make gtk apps respect rivers decoration? All other windows have a border and the right color but gtk doesnt. I have riverctl border color set
