this can be tweaked, and osx has an extremely naive time-remaining
alogrithm. it frequently reported seven hours of life and then
crapped its pants after four. I got nearly an hour more out of the
battery

A friend of me managed to install ubuntu plus some hacks to make it work. The
issues were:
- power management not as good as in osx
- screen is not normal rgb setup (you have to add a specifix color scheme for
X11)
- wireless driver ( broadcom) is pure shit. It mostly works, but in powersave

Btw. I think tht nexy port of dwm must be wayland. Somebody did any test with
it?

They even manage to screw that up. The terminal application that
ships with OS X is completely worthless.

At the beggining I was using dwm+xterm on XQuartz, but it was pretty
inneficient and anoying.
then I switched to virtualbox+linux in fullscreen
and now im using iTerm2 which have support for splits and tabs and
keybindings can be configured in a similar way to dwm and fullscreensupport.
So .
So, I had to join this list because someone sent me this thread this
morning. Just so happens I have been doing exactly this...

You can switch between the floating and the managed layer with Mod-Space.

I feel like I should add. This is not a Chrome only issue, any app that has
its own theming, loads up in "floating" mode, (ex: qmmp) Moreover, if you

Hi,
I've implemented configurable, dynamic, terminal colors in dvtm using
string matching rules similar to dwm's rules for determining tag, float,
and monitor settings for a window. It's common practice to use
background colors to visually keeping track of what server you're logged
in to, or for w
