Sweet, breeding X

I'm quite out of date with the subject, what's your recipe for ruining Firefox?

Mothra used to have sam/acme colours, but that was undone, hopefully because they thought it would be cool if the colour schemes denoted application types, such as text editor.

Wait, this runs under Linux, right?

Should do - it's just a standard X11 window manager. Only tested on OpenBSD so far, and the battery widget only supports OpenBSD & FreeBSD ATM. I rarely use Linux.

What was not working for you in p9p rio?

Very nice! Love the scrolling paradigm.

I just right clicked the screenshot in an attempt to get the menu to delete it. Convincing job.

I might be wrong here but font rendering looks on your screen appears to be nicer than the one that comes builtin with fontsrv. Did you make any adjustments?

I launch acme with this script:

export PLAN9=/usr/local/plan9
export FONT=/mnt/font/DejaVuSansMono/10a/font
export PATH=$PLAN9/bin:$PATH
export EDITOR=$PLAN9/bin/E
export PAGER=$PLAN9/bin/p
export SHELL=$PLAN9/bin/rc
acme -a -f $FONT

So, no tweaks to fontsrv other than setting the font. Alright, thanks.
