Why are windows floating in twm?

I think it looks nice for screenshot, but normally the windows are not like that.

Gruvbox dwm

I have been using this setup since late October/early November I think. It's funny how the circle goes around and around.

XMonad and Ef Elea Dark Theme

It's summer time :D

Open windows (L-> R): Emacs with conductor project, nsxiv, Emacs with notmuch, Emacs with Elfeed, Emacs calendar, Emacs with EMMS.

Lately I have been refining my email workflow with Emacs, might make an article about how I do it in the future when the school year starts.

And also, I randomly found out that Emacs can use true transparency, and I love it so much better than picom.

WindowMaker Scylla Theme and Gruber Darker

I have been toying around with WindowMaker for around a week. My favorite feature (unsurprisingly if you check the post below) would be the dock. I also how it feels like if FVWM without all the extensibility and more desktop-environmenty. At first I found the icons to be really annoying, but I finally figured it out. The open windows are Emacs dired, nsxiv image viewer and URxvt with tmux. The wallpaper is doctored with the calendar generated by my wallpaper-annotate.sh

FVWM3 With Gruber Darker on Artix-openrc

I played with WindowMaker for a little bit. I didn't actually end up liking or using it, but I did enjoy the dockapps. I swallowed these little widgets into the left panel that I have on the side. The bar has wmcore, wmacpi, wmamixer, wmusic, and wmclock. The grid on the top is FvwmPager and the window list is FvwmIconMan.

The windows shown are Emacs with a lisp project open (so I can look super productive) and a terminal running fastfetch (I have it aliased to neofetch). I finally wrote an Fvwm colorset when I figured out which colors I like for

Xmonad with gruber darker

Made myself a silly wallpaper to match with the gruber darker theme for fun :)
