Can you give a little more info on what apps are running in this shot?
Sure:
- The menu in the upper-left corner is emwm's application launcher (Similar to IRIX's toolchest)
- The two iconified apps are GIMP and Librewolf
- The main app is Emacs running the Gnus news client
- The clock in the upper-right corner is customised xclock
- The system monitor is called xosview
The goal was to create a classic Unix environment that I could use as my daily driver. Motif may not get much love nowadays, but I like the thick frame and the fact that clicking the small square minimises the program instead of closing it. If I really need to close a program, I can either press Meta+F4 or click the minus sign and click 'Close'.
Thanks. I'm trying to get started with EMWM but am a bit confused. I'm looking for a default configuration to work from. Is ~/.emwmrc all I need or are changes to ~/.Xresources also required?
Could you please share your config so I might learn more about setting it up?
My .emwmrc is the default one. Here is my Xdefaults (I don't use Xresources):
