    Viewing a 1920x1080 [screenshot] taken from #NetBSD on a 1920x1080 laptop running #sway (#wayland) with 1.5x scaling set in sway:

    nsxiv (X11) -- horrible blurry mess
    imv (Wayland native) -- far clearer, but still blurry (can tell by looking at the parts that use bitmapped fonts)
    swayimg (Wayland, maybe wlroots-native??) -- completely crisp

    #FractionalScaling still sucks too much, y'all. 🫣 🙄

      Right that's me added a new script along with keybindings for my ( for ) desktop that allow me to record the focused output, focused window or even a selected region of the screen using wf-recorder. You can find the info in my dotfiles

        Finally added the screen recorder wf-recorder to my tools list that allows selection of areas using slurp. This will be useful for recording bugs as they happen and maybe the odd show off desktop in action? 😉

          Haha! I've not only managed to make a bar for ( for ) using only cowpager and cowbuttons, I've managed to script it so each output has it's own independent bar too. The scripting could probably be tidied up and there is more than likely an easier way to achieve the same thing but it works for me. 😉

          Dotfiles are here if anyone is interested?

            Decided to color the cowbuttons with my usual Gruvbox color scheme. I think that looks better than the plain white text? Should have titled this "Look Mum no Waybar." 🤪

In the middle at the top is the full date and time displayed in a cowbutton and to the right five cowbuttons displaying keyboard language, screen idle status, laptop brightness, volume control and laptops battery charge status. The cowbuttons have different colored text using the gruvbox theme.

I've not even used as I decided to use what was available in the field of cow aka cowbuttons and cowpager. I think I'm regressing back to the 90's. 🤣

                  Rather cheekily, I've just added a theme to CoW to emulate what the canoe WM provides:

                  github.com/roblillack/canoe

                  If anything it's an honour as this look-and-feel is excellent. I've attached a screenshot of the result in CoW.

                  The theme can be found in CoW's repository.

                    I've a dumb question to ask users past and present. Currently I'm setting up my ( for ) and have never really used fvwm. I'm going to set up my pager and possibly some buttons plus a few scripts. Now comes the question.
                    What do you do with those windows ?
                    Do you put them in a reserved area that other windows can't overlap? Or do you position them with a rule and just treat them like normal windows so other windows could effectively be on top of them when maximized, meaning you'd have to raise your pager or buttons again to see them?
                    I did warn you it's a dumb question but thanks in advance for your explanations of how you run fvwm and bonus points for your screenshots. ❤️

                                Hey all,

                                I'm slowly working toward a default theme, per: codeberg.org/thomasadam/cow/is

                                See the screenshot attached.

                                This mimics the AnotherLevel theme from RedHat 5.X days, from early 1994 onward.

                                This is how I started out with fvwm.

                                No, it's not nostalgic for me, but I do like how it looks.

                                I suspect some of you might not.

                                If you want to change it, now's your chance, otherwise this is going to become the default theme...

                                Have fun!

                                  Still playing around with all the settings like gradients in CoW using only colors from gruvbox as I'm quite partial to those colors. There are so many configurable options in CoW that it's going to take me a while to get everything set up just the way I like.

                                        Obviously to see what it's all about and if I could even go back to a stacking window manager.
