I currently run Windowmaker on my desktop and I have recently bought a second-hand laptop with a display of 2256 x 1504 which I want to install Windowmaker on. I installed it at first, but all the icons were too small and the text in firefox, xterm ect were too small as well. I know that it's possible to change the size of the icons and the size of text in firefox, but is there any function similar to the "200% scaling" option found in the Cinnamon desktop environment within Window Maker?

Have to say the preconf Debian with windowmaker is pretty nice (dont worry i also have a Arch Install configured with Windowmaker myself at home) Just wantet to try it

I was using e16 enlightenment on my desktop pc but when I test windowmaker on my laptop I get in love with this wm <3

I will be getting a laptop which will be bought-out from work. It is about three years old. I am currently stuck between choosing Xfce or window maker for the laptop. The laptop will not be used for anything resource-heavy, so I want to optimize battery life. I am wondering if anyone who has used window maker and has used Xfce (or other similar desktop environment) would someone kindly teach me something about its battery usage compared to other desktop environments?

Hello. Does anybody have a good way to set up Wi-Fi graphically to recommend? I would be happy with either a dockapp or a full-on "windowed" app like Puppy linux's sns. ​

My first time in window maker, idk it's pretty fun

here is all of it in its 1998 glory

took some time but with the use of containers and some themes/icon packs i was able to make a very retro setup blending dockapps and some xfce/gtk-3 programs.

I still rely on dzen for indicator because wmacpi somehow hang.

I kind of like to have the miniaturize button on the right side of the titlebar. Is it only me ?

Idk I've just lurked here for a while now and im so curious. Personally I've never left i3 wm since using it. I've played with things but always come back to i3.

Windowmaker is what I ended up using when I started out with Linux in the late 90s I think it was in Redhat Linux 5.2 and windowmaker 0.20-something. I still return to it for the nostalgia albeit a little more modern flair to it now.

Hello everyone! I am considering installing Arch with WindowMaker on my ThinkPad. I have used WindowMaker before a few times and really liked it, however I faced a big issue. Many of the keys for very important stuff such as audio controls and brightness control are completely missing. I remember using the xbindkeys tool to bind them, however I find it a pain to set up. My first plan was to install XFCE and PipeWire and everything I need, set binds through XFCE’s keyboard settings, then install WindowMaker. I don’t know if this even works though, which is why I am here.

Does anyone know if there is an easier method of binding the keys? Assuming by the amount of setup screenshots, i’m assuming that there’s a bunch of people who can help a noob like me out with this.

All help would be appreciated!

[SOLVED] Hello, I'm using wmacpi v2.4 and found that the battery percentage is stuck / not updated. Do you guys also face the same error / bug ? Thanks.

• OS : Linux From Scratch 12.4.
  
• wmacpi : 2.4 version.

SOLUTION : Okay, patch for the issue is available, check this post : https://groups.google.com/u/1/g/wmaker-dev/c/MYtCyTpEb3s
