[dev] stest

2011-11-23 Thread Connor Lane Smith
Hey all, I've written a tool called stest ("stream test"), which given a list of files on stdin can filter them by their properties, so "ls | stest -fwx" yields all writeable and executable regular files in the current directory. I find it really useful being able to do mass tests quickly, sort of

Really cool! And apparently it is actively developed and binaries can be found here: http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/Linux/distributions/bifrost/v7/ I also found it interesting with the talk linked on the page discussing the "guilty" components making it difficult to build an all-static system. f

I searched mail archives, but I did not find anything related to Bifrost Linux, so I'm sharing this with you. Bifrost [1] is a small Linux distribution for USB media. What can be interesting for suckless folks is that it is statically linked (no /include and /lib contains only kernel modules and

IIRC dwm automatically floats windows the size of the screen (and F11 makes most windows resize to cover the whole screen) as well as windows with a fullscreen hint set. You can modify dwm.c to have "fullscreen" windows tiled by default.

[dev] [dwm] Fullscreen programs in tile mode

2011-11-23 Thread Manolo Martínez
Hello, In some programs I use frequently, their fullscreen mode is interesting in that it is stripped down of menu bars, icons and the like. For instance, LyX, a LaTeX frontend I use sometimes, is like that. This is good if you know your keybindings: no screen wasted in stuff you don't need. OTOH
