Requirements: C99 compiler and Xlib header files. Installation: Edit the Makefile, mantisrc and config.h if you want and then use the following commands (as root, if necessary): $ mkdir $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mantis-wm $ cp mantisrc $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mantis-wm # make clean install This will create the default directory, and then copy the default rcfile to it, and then build and install the mantis-wm. Running: Append "exec mantis" to ~/.xinitrc. Notice that you will not have any cursor, panel, wallpaper, nothing. If one wants a left cursor pointer, one just need to use the xsetroot(1) tool, prepending "xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr &" into the ~/.xinitrc. Information: As mantis-wm is a window manager, it does not provide a panel, and tags work a bit different than desktops, so the EWMH does not fit in this case. To provide useful information, i create and keep up-to-date two properties named "_MANTIS_TAG" and "_MANTIS_VIEW" on the root window. The _MANTIS_TAG property displays information about each single tag, and _MANTIS_VIEW displays the same information, but about the current selected tag(s). The first part is the only that change between both properties, which is 1 or 0 (True or False) on _MANTIS_TAG and a serie of 1s or 0s on _MANTIS_VIEW. it tells whenever the tag is selected or not. Note: the first part of _MANTIS_VIEW is not the bitwise representation, but rather the linear way, from left to right, as i thought would be way more intuitive, i.e. 0100 for the second selected, instead of 0010. It is separated by spaces, and contain: the first is explained above current window number total window number total normal window number total floating window number total urgent window number There are a few ways to retrieve these properties, one way is using the xprop(1) tool, using the command "xprop -root _MANTIS_{TAG,VIEW}".
