Thank you for the answer. I have no interest in investing any time and effort into porting nouveau for OpenBSD.

OpenBSD 6.2 fvwm with stalonetray (tray for osmo, radiotray and libreoffice -quickstart icons/launchers). Added up and down sound volume level buttons to fvwm buttons

Code: Select all

*FvwmButtons "S Up"		arrup2.xpm 	exec mixerctl outputs.master=+12
*FvwmButtons "S Down"		arrdown2.xpm 	exec mixerctl outputs.master=-12
Image

Seems to work better/quicker when using the likes of libre spreadsheet than under other wm's (perhaps as all integral to the openbsd core package).

fvwm takes a little getting used to compared to jwm/xfce/lxde/kde type panel/layout, but highly configurable and nice to use after you do become more familiar with the ergonomics.

Nice and easy. Install OpenBSD base system (that unlike freebsd comes pre-configured and ready to go) ... use the inbuilt fvwm and just pkg_add firefox-esr, libreoffice, osmo, mpv, mtpaint, xfe and stalonetray ... and you have a reasonable desktop system ready to go (calendar, diary, notes, office suite (wordprocessor, spreadsheet ...etc), browser (pdf reader), filemanager (xfe), video player (mpv), calculator, text editor (xfw), paint program (mtpaint) ... etc.

Not very pretty yet, just installed, Minix 3 on QEMU VM, OpenBsd is the host.

It is working good though, and ssh / sftp access to other servers, is great.

:) Trying.

Dropping the icons and iconbar is a start in the right direction IMO.

Default boot desktop
Image

That's a stalonetray (tray) at top of screen and two xclocks below that (one showing the analogue clock the other is set to digital and shows the date). Background image is a simple 1010111 type bitmap

I've set the desktop left mouse press to show current open (active or 'iconified) windows, the middle mouse press shows a volume level selection menu, right mouse press shows the twm (main menu). That right mouse for menu matches right mouse clicking the three tray icons that respectively show osmo's choices (calendar/notes...etc), my own menu set choices (green liquid in a bottle icon that clicking shows firefox, xterm ...etc) and the third is LibreOffice -quickstart menu choices (spreadsheet, word processor ...etc).

Window title buttons have the 'iconify' at far left (window disappears totally other than being viewable via left mouse on the desktop), the X next to that is close window; On the right there's the resize (furthest right and next to that a zoom full screen/restore toggle.

This next image is a composite collection of the various menus all merged into a single shot

Image

The pkg_info -mz shows all of the total installed packages ... 9 shown, but one (quirks) is a system security package i.e. not installed by me. i.e. the total number of things installed on top of the base OpenBSD 6.2 system (that includes X and twm ....etc).

To get my own menu into the green liquid tray icon I installed yad and I'm using a notification loop that presents menu/command pairs

Image

Likely not anywhere near the best choice of code/script, but my coding ability is limited to more or less hunting around for examples that might fit and adapting that accordingly (for example I had to look up how to do a while loop).

Nice simple layout for the casual browsing type user (mostly mouse). If I were a more keyboard/desk or laptop user I'd probably go with cwm. For just 8 packages, two of which are small anyway (yad and stalonetray) that's quite a functional desktop setup IMO (browsing/pdf/office/calendar/diary/tasks/file management/video/audio/image editing ...etc.) and runs incredibly well on my 10+ year old hardware (2GB quad).

Modified the icon in the desktop I posted ealier along with extending the yad based drop down menu that I add to stalonetray alongside the drop down menu icons for osmo and libre.

A neat feature is that middle mouse clicking the title bar of a window throws it backwards, so the stalonetray and xclock show through. Handy when you're viewing a web page with the window maximised as a quick way to launch other programs. Left click title bar, right click one of the three stalonetray icons ... and select what you want from the drop down menu. Click the maximised windows title bar again and normal browser viewing resumes (brings it forward again).

Image

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# For OpenBSD 6.2.
#Requires yad and stalonetray (pkg_add yad stalonetray)
yad --notification --text="" \
--image=applications-office \
--separator="\\n" \
--menu="xfe!xfe
Firefox!firefox-esr
xterm!xterm -T "XTERM"
xcalc!xcalc
xfw!xfw
mtpaint!mtpaint 
QUIT!/tmp/killtrayapps" \
--command='xmessage "    Use right mouse click to activate menu    "' &
PID=$!
echo "#!/bin/sh" >/tmp/killtrayapps
echo "kill -s HUP $PID" >>/tmp/killtrayapps
echo "rm /tmp/killtrayapps" >>/tmp/killtrayapps
chmod +x /tmp/killtrayapps
I have it set up so left mouse on the desktop shows a list of all windows ... that can be switched to (so like a portable iconbar but that has all windows listed), middle click is for volume adjustment, right click shows the twm menu, that is much the same as what the yad menu shows. No twm icons nor iconbar.

Have it in mind to perhaps set it up to have iconified windows also being added to the stalonetray. Either individually or perhaps under a single icon or maybe even groups of icons. Stalonetray has a neat feature where it has scrollbars so once the number of icons exceeds a specified maximum number you can scroll through them.

OpenBSD 6.2 twm with a colour theme added in

Each programs window set to open with the title/border that colour matches its menu and icon colour

"Icon manager" set to top of screen, 5 wide before stepping down a row for the next 5 ... so a bit like a task bar.

you might want to add 1 or 2 px inner border to your terminal though.

also: link to actual image, not flickr page (had to enable javascript & jump through hoops to get at this).

you might want to add 1 or 2 px inner border to your terminal though.

also: link to actual image, not flickr page (had to enable javascript & jump through hoops to get at this).
Thanks mate ohnonot
I've tried a few times making URxvt internalBorder 2 ore more px, don't know why i go back to the point zero.
I get some good text/header alignement on a few cli apps if i set to 0. Maybe this is one of the reasons. Thanks for your acceptable suggestion though.

Flickr.com is very heavy imagehosting thanks to java/javascripts. Visiting with javascript turned off doesn't allow to use many of her features.
Once a light webhosting now it's just a mega bloated and slow loading website that i still use despite these giant flaws.
I should open an account @scrot.moe to simplify my scrot life.
