Slide - Simple lightweight intuitive desktop environment
The name already says it - this is a desktop environment.
Currently its a VERY basic one. You're welcome to adapt it
to your needs or create apps for it.
It uses wxWidgets as GUI-Toolkit and bases directly on X11
If you want to try it already, you should do the following:
- Compile wxWidgets 2.8 using the --with-x11 switch on configure.
- You'll need to have libpng, libjpeg and libtiff.
- Create a /etc/Slide.conf (see the Slide.conf in the repo for
example.
- Create a ~/.slidestarter for the Starter-App (see the one in
repo for an example)
- Put "Slide" in your ~/.xinitrc
Features already implemented:
- Virtual desks (workspaces)
- Switch between desks using STRG+Left arrow/Right arrow
- Move windows between desks pushing out of the screen on the left or right edge
- Tile/Untile visible windows using CTRL+TAB / CTRL+ALT+TAB
- Usual ALT+TAB behaviour
- Window decoration with close/maximize
- Maximize / Restore
- Close windows
