CTWM
----
CTWM is an extension to twm, that support multiple virtual screens,
and a lot of other goodies.
You can use and manage up to 32 virtual screens called workspaces.
You swap from one workspace to another by clicking on a button in an
optionnal panel of buttons (the workspace manager) or by invoking a function.
You can custom each workspace by choosing different colors, names
and pixmaps for the buttons and background root windows.
Main features are :
- Optional 3D window titles and border (ala Motif).
- Shaped, colored icons.
- Multiple icons for clients based on the icon name.
- Windows can belong to several workspaces.
- A map of your workspaces to move quickly windows between
different workspaces.
- Animations : icons, root backgrounds and buttons can be animated.
- Pinnable and sticky menus.
- etc...
The sources files are just the twm ones plus two : workmgr.[ch].
workmgr.[ch] were built from scratch, but the twm ones are slightly
modified. I tried to minimize the modifications, and it is even
possible (but not sure) that certain future twm patches could be
applied to ctwm sources files. But don't rely on this.
I certainly introduced many bugs with these modifications. So, be
tolerant.
If you are happy with ctwm, or find bugs, send me a note to :
Claude.Lecommandeur@epfl.ch
Binary distribution, compiled with gcc deliverd by NetBSD1.0.
No sound support added so far. It is compiled for X11R6 and
will also extract into the corresponding directories.
Installation :
Just extract the archive (I prefer a 'cd /' and then a
'cat <whatever>/ctwm-3.2pl1-bin.tar.gz | gunzip | tar -xf -'.
(<whatever> is the place where your archive resides).
There is a man, but not quite complete (any volunteer ?).
There is a mailing list : ctwm@cognac.epfl.ch, subscribe at :
ctwm-request@cognac.epfl.ch.
Compilation was done Reinhard Katzmann (suamor student.uni-tuebingen.de)
Binary patched to run from /usr/local/ctwm-3.2p1. - HF
