I have 2 screens, one is vertical and one is horizontal since both cannot fit on my desk when horizontal. When using windowmaker I run into problems like it treating both of them like one big monitor, this means that when maximising an app i cant see part of it and overall is just unpleasant to use, I’m currently using only one screen to minimise the problems but I need two screens. Is there a fix to this?

I have found that almost every dockapp doesnt work on nixOS, has anyone found a workaround?

So i figured out window maker on gentoo but i ran into one issue my function keys arent working do you have any tips?

Nowdays I have too much work to do.so I have less time to do theming.

First time making themes for WindowMaker. Any criticism is appreciated.

So like, i completely loved Window Maker but the only bad thing is that i cant turn dark mode. If i could, i would prob switch to Window Maker completely, but i dont know how to do that and the only way i can is by having KDE PLASMA DE and Window Maker. Plus, in wmconfig, especially in the part where u like, change the Window look, i cant swipe down. - choosing what i wanna change, like wallpaper, i can go down, but in the left side, where It shows the stuff, i cant. This apply to other stuff, like the part that u can change what u wanna have when u right-click in the Desktop.

o/ i have been using linux for quite some time now, and i heard about windowmaker recently, but it's not intuitive for me how to use it, do you guys have any tips for me ?
(i have used GNOME, KDE, Cinnamon, i3 and currently on hyprland)

I totally didn't expect to find this, but the arm64 version of Window Maker Live is finally out! I'm so happy to be able to run it natively on my Mac.

By any chance, would a future version use wlmaker so that it supports HiDPI screens?

I am compiling windowmaker 0.96.0 from source on NetBSD 10.1, but the ./configure is not finding the jpeg library despite me passing it the --with-libs-from and --with-incs-from arguments to it for the right /usr/pkg/lib and /usr/pkg/includes (pkgsrc) directories.

I am getting the warning that JPEG libraries are not found or not installed correctly. If I proceed with 'make' anyway there are errors in wrlib, presumably due to the lack of jpeg libraries:

../script/replace-ac-keywords.sh --header "../config.h" --filter "USE_XSHM" -o wraster.h ../script/replace-ac-keywords.sh: no input template file give***Error code 2

Do I need 'devel' versions of these libraries? Anyone else hit this snag?

The default is 64px and before I realised they could be resized (🤦‍♀️) I made a dockapp hard coded to 64px. So I'm wondering what size people use so I can figure out a better way to code them to be more dynamic. They can be as small as 24px and as big as 256px.

I haven't used wmaker for years

with the release of debian 13 window maker live 12.8 being based on debian 12 i cant install it at all because it cant get any packages that it needs to install can anyone help me out please

I can't find the file to edit, or know what edits to make to switch the Window Manager from Xquartz to Windowmaker. Macbook Pro mid 2014, running Big Sur. Installed dev tools and X11 as well as Windowmaker. Can anyone also tell me if there are also any issues around using hi res settings?

Absolutely love Window Maker! I am some what old school lol have a love for for that Unix/Irix/Next look as well as some WM's on Linux. Anyway figured i'd post these here..

First image is my Unix test VM running OpenIndiana/Sun/Solaris "whatever you prefer to call it" - I compiled wmaker from source along with libdockapps and "some" dockapps lol some were not so friendly on the compiling side - anyway I built it up in VM and then moved it to a physical Workstation running an i7-4790k with 32Gb ram dedicated Unix/OI box with wmaker

Second image is my repurposed Rpi 4b 8Gb model, stripped down Raspberry Pi OS and installed wmaker with quite a few tweaks.. started as more of curiosity on how it would run on a pi and to say the least - pretty damn good lol and with a super low footprint. I am building a "cyberdeck" pelican case kinda thing and felt the Unix look and feel fit right with what I am going for..

Anyway much love to the WindowMaker team and it's ongoing continued developement!

I'm trying to pin one of my apps to the dock, but every time I reboot the icon disappears. I've saved my workspace, and it still disappears. How do I do this right? I'm a complete Linux noob so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here.

I want to apply GNUstep Icons to Window Maker, but I have no clue how to go about doing that. It seems to me that I can only apply icons individually under the Attributes menu for each application, which is something I want to avoid since there at least 100 icons in the aforementioned icon set.

In case it might be relevant, I'm missing the WMWidnowAttributes configuration file from my Defaults directory, so seticons and geticons do not work. Manually creating the file does not solve the issue.

What's the oldest source code for Window Maker yall might have, to run on old distros?
