cutede's Introduction

Cute Desktop Environment

A tiny desktop environment of sorts. It's mostly a prototype but it's good for learning how a DE works.

Features:

  • running compmgr (composite manager)
  • simple window manager (based on tinywm)
  • simple launcher/task manager (prototype)

Where is the code?

If all you want is to browse the code, the CuteWM and CuteLauncher are over here:

NOTE: CuteLauncher is not up to date because newer versions aren't stable in CuteDE

How to use:

  • Clone this repo and run the install.sh script to clone both projects and install pre-requisites (This won't copy itself anywhere else so clone it where you want it).
  • Default input bindings:
    • Mod key = Alt
    • Mod+Enter: open new terminal
    • Mod+RightClick: resize window
    • Mod+LeftClick: move window
    • LeftClick: re-stack or interact normally
    • MouseHover: focus window
  • Keys binds are configurable at key_bindings.py
  • User Directory: in the ./user directory you can find customizable things like session startup script and wallpaper, all can be changed to the user's content.

Hope this is useful!

cutede's Issues

New CuteLauncher version integration with CuteWM

Right now CuteLauncher tries to use libwnck to speed up things.
This works on gnome (e.g: launch gedit) but this new method does not work for CuteWM!
Need to update so that the server sends the proper attribute and notifies when the window is changed (wmhints)
(probably NETWM_CLIENT_LIST, NETWM_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING related)

Add the code!

Hi,

This could be a really interesting example project... but I notice that the CuteLauncher and CuteWM directories (presumably containing Python code) are not browsable. Care to fix that..?

Thank you in advance!

Better README & guidance for setting it up

As the project is getting more and more attention perhaps it should state in clearer terms what it's doing and how to run the demo.

Things that would be nice to have:

  • screenshots
  • noobs intro to running the DE on seperate tty
  • how to fork / use this as base code properly
  • make stable commits tagged
