Icewm theme install

This is pulled in by gedit-plugins and the elementary desktop. Is it in the base Fedora? Is it removable if you get it installed? Yes … as long as you are not running the full elementary desktop. This is already discussed by the very same people who bring those guidelines into community projects. I have also checked through bugzilla, and though it looks like it was pulled in by several other packages at first, it was taken out as dependencies many years ago.

If you have a security issue, please open a bug in our bugzilla, the is not the proper forum for that. I think this is a real problem in the Linux space. We need a real display server that uses double buffering and compositing by default. The desktop on Linux is way too jittery, laggy and has a real problem with screen tearing. You notice that when you use macOS for an extended period of time. Well, if you want the desktop you need Wayland to succeed so that the Linux desktop will be technically on par with what Apple and Microsoft are offering.

In almost every other way, Linux beats those proprietary systems. I have not used sway either. I think it would be great if you, or someone else were to write an article for Fedora Magazine on it. The choice of Window Manager in Linux is a very personal thing for any user who is willing to make the jump from the default out-of-the-box platform WM often Gnome to, well, literally anything else.

On most systems you can choose per-login session which WM you fancy for that session i. The window manager you use is the glue that binds the multitasking strands that you as a user work at, be they command line terminals or specific tools browsers, text editors, IDEs, etc.

Though from my flip flopping dabbling, cherry picking the necessities such as which file manager or network conn manager are where the trickier parts lie. But you are correct in being able to cherry pick everything. But if I am on a less powerful machine such as a Raspberry Pi, I usually only install icwm, x-term and nedit. Seeing how small, but functional you could make a IceWM Spin would be interesting.

As someone said in another comment, a desktop is a personal thing. And since you would be cherry picking everything, it would be setup how you like it. But the next person might like a different terminal, browser or other things.

I really like this huge config file with everything under a few keyboard clicks. I love discussions around Window Managers as it really seems to bring out peoples passion like few other topics.

Me personally, I have been using Linux since Redhat 5. I am still using E16 v1. Thank you for that Thomas. A newer version the same you have there for F30 is available in Fedora 31 and Rawhide. I debated about putting that information in the article, but left it out. I decided to leave the article about features and leave the versions and changes out. For those that are wondering, for many years Fedora had IceWM version 1.

This was the last version on sourceforge. Development has moved over to github, and the current version is 1. This new version is the version that Thomas packaged up, and is also coming in F But we sometimes have contributing authors who have other things they like. Within reason, we try to ensure other lesser-known technologies get a chance to be seen. We encourage folks to use what they like.

I very much appreciate the occasional articles about DEs and WMs. I experiment with them and have found some particularly useful in various situations. It takes a long time before your systems become truly obsolete, but you can add features as resources become available, and help is always available here and on the forums.

Installed as the instructions say and the programs menu shows just a tiny empty line with no programs. I am so sorry. When I tested a minimal install, I tested on Fbeta. Thus, my instructions work on F31 and above, which have the new IceWM 1. Could not load tags. Latest commit. Git stats 25 commits. Failed to load latest commit information.

Release This is the icewm-extra-themes Resources Readme. Releases 3 Maintenance Release 1. This is the easy part. IceWM is in the universe repositories. Enable the universe repositories if necessary and then install the following packages: icewm icewm-themes.

It can be edited by hand, but the easiest way is to use the graphical configuration tool iceconf. The syntax is simple: prog "name" icon command where: name is the text to be displayed on the menu e.

Next time you log in, you should see the added programs running. Save and quit nano. You will need to restart IceWM for the changes to take effect. More themes can also be found at Box-Look.
