TG Window manager

This is my personal Debian/Arch window manager based-on X11. Even though I did my best to keep it configurable and customizable for any setup, but still there are some codes which are customized specifically for my hardware/monitor setup. So in case, you wanted to use it, make sure you make the necessary changes accordingly.

Also any bug report, ideas or suggestions will be appreciated. Also, lots of features yet are missing which I try to do more on the weekends or in my spare time.

Dependencies

The following libraries have been used :

Xinerama (To support multi-monitor setups)
Xft (Draw texts with a specific font and style)
Google glog library
Xephyr (Virtual display emulator)
Fontawesome Icon Pack - C++ Header

Installation

Note : Make sure you have the necessary dependencies mentioned in the previous section installed.

To start it manually with StartX :

git clone https://github.com/Foroughi/tgwm.git
cd tgwm
sudo make install

make sure you change your .xinitrc file to bootstrap the tgwm using the following command

exec tgwm

To start it with Display Manager :

Add a new Xsession desktop file /usr/share/xsessions/tgwm.desktop with the following content

[Desktop Entry]
Name=TGWM
Exec=tgwm
Type=XSession

Uninstall

cd tgwm
sudo make uninstall

Test

I have already setup a virtual display emullator using Xephyr. So in case you want to just have a look , you dont need to fully install it. Simply use run.sh file to start virtual display emulator

cd tgwm
./run.sh
