qvwm for x86_32
« on: September 26, 2023, 09:50:03 AM »
I am not able to create it by myself.  I don't know how icons exit menu and menu list works in TC.

qvwm is a window manager for the X Window system which provides a user experience very close to Windows 95/98. It is small and extremely fast.

The qvwm window manager looks almost identical on first glance to Windows 95/98. This allows users to move with ease from Windows to Unix and vice versa.

qvwm was written by Kenichi Kourai in 1996 and released at this site . He is no longer involved, and the project is run by a team of volunteers.

The project is currently hosted using the combined resources of
SourceForge and EcolNet .

qvwm starts very fast - a fraction of a second on a Pentium I. So it's ideally suited to thin clients. The only library that it depends on (apart from standard X Windows libraries) is libXpm, which now comes standard with most distributions. qvwm also runs on other operating systems.

qvwm is licenced under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

Where I can find an instruction how to adjust this new windows manager to menu and icons that are used in TinyCore?

Can I send this extension but without menu entries and icons script that will adjust config file based on installed applications?

I want that qvwm works with Xprogs icons, but  qvwm don't support png icons. Could you add xpm icons to Xprogs.tcz in TC15 x86_32?

IMO that would be an unnecessary waste of space. Most apps don't include xpm icons either, so your extension will have to do conversion anyway.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
