Currently on my netbook.
 Might look dull to most people, but anyone who is familiar with tiling and Xdefaults knows that it's easy to get a colour-scheme for a light or dark background, but almost impossible to get a usable one for a midtone, so I'm quite proud of this. Also falling back in love with the old-skool fixedsys font again. |

Hi guys,
i like the scrotwm since it's minimal and suits my working laptop. i am using fedora. search around but seems to not be able to find any scrotwm package to install (maybe i dont know where). tried yum install scrotwm but it says no package available. i found all the steps in this topic and the other topic on how to configure it, but up to this point i dont even know where can i find the package for fedora installation. can someone help to point to the right direction? tried following this guide (for gentoo) but stuck: http://code.frostglow.com/wm/scrotwm-gentoo.html well maybe that guide is not suitable for fedora? |

QUOTE(najminaruto @ Mar 18 2011, 04:01 PM) This is why I'll never use Linux( or *BSD/UNIX kernel)-based OS as my desktop computer OS. Well, maybe MacOS X will be an exception.

QUOTE(dimenxion @ Apr 9 2011, 06:46 PM) Thanks for the guid G-17. Actually, no. What you're doing is starting DWM, not ScrotWM. As I stated in the guide, you need to check to which path the scrotwm executable got installed to and put it in your "Exec" part. if not just try "Exec=scrotwm" and see if you see a ScrotWM entry when you log out to GDM. If not, you need to use your file manager and locate the scrotwm executable (it's probably somewhere in /usr/local/ or /usr/bin or /usr/share/bin).i had done all the instruction. then logout. when login, i saw DWM under window manager selection. logged and and saw numbers on the top bar, then nothing on the rest of the screen. i guess i have to put .scrotwm.conf, .Xdefaults and .bashrc next rite? where should i place all that files?

Sorry, way away ... if you still need ScrotWM pointers, just let me know. There are others here (like Acid_RuleZ and farkinid) who have some of my 'sample' configs. _______________________________________________________________________ Been a while since I posted here.
