# How?
First of all; ricing won't be an easy task. I mean, sure you can copy the config
files from someone else and live with that. But that kind of ruins the fun of it all.
**A word on Linux programs in Windows 10**
With the release of the WSL on Windows 10 and subsequent improvements made to it by
Microsoft, is it easy for you to run many Linux programs on Windows 10 with perfect
or almost perfect compatibility. If you are running windows 10 but are interested in
using Linux programs (ncmpcpp + mpd, or weechat for example), it is worth looking into
the WSL. [You can learn more about the WSL here.](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/about)
**You encounter a problem or error and don't know how to continue?**
#### Google it
This solves literally 90% of all the problems people ever have. I can't push
this enough. The problem you're encountering is most likely not unique. You're
probably not the first to struggle with it. By looking online you will nearly
always find your (or a similar) question that will help you get going again.

* [google](https://google.com/)
#### Manual
"How do I do x in y?", "Is it possible to do x with y?". "What does x do?".
These are all way too common questions, especially for people who are starting
with linux. 99% of the applications/binaries you're using have some kind of
manual through either `$ man NAME_OF_APPLICATION` or `$ NAME_OF_APPLICATION
--help`. This will very likely contain the solution one way or another.
If you still feel like you want a guide or something as a place to start,
you can go [here](http://linuxnewbieguide.org/) for Linux, and for ricing
on Windows 7, you can go [here](http://nanami-tan.info/). For windows 10, you can go [here](http://chloechantelle.com/guide)
# Window managers
A window manager (WM) is system software that controls the placement and
appearance of windows within a windowing system in a graphical user interface (GUI).
It can be part of a desktop environment (DE) or be used standalone.

else to the table. If you're looking for something more complete consider

Bars (aka panels) are used to display everything from current desktops to active windows to
system informaton. They have very similiar behaviour to the bar you would expect
on Windows and OSX.

A launcher is a program displaying a dialog to search for an action, typically launch an application. Many are not limited to just this, and allow you to perform other operations such as open up files and folders on your computer.

# Terminal emulators
A terminal emulator, terminal application, term, or tty for short, is a program
that emulates a video terminal within some other display architecture.
Though typically synonymous with a shell or text terminal, the term terminal
covers all remote terminals, including graphical interfaces. A terminal emulator
inside a graphical user interface is often called a terminal window.

# tinywm
TinyWM is a tiny window manager that I created as an exercise in minimalism. It is also maybe helpful in learning some of the very basics of creating a window manager. It is only around 50 lines of C. There is also a Python version using python-xlib.
It lets you do four basic things:
1. Move windows interactively with Alt+Button1 drag (left mouse button)
2. Resize windows interactively with Alt+Button3 drag (right mouse button)
3. Raise windows with Alt+F1 (not high on usability I know, but I needed a keybinding in there somewhere)
4. Focus windows with the mouse pointer (X does this on its own)
## Download
## Known to be packaged in
* Debian
* Ubuntu
* FreeBSD
* CRUX
## TinyWM around the web

## The source
Here is tinywm.c from the most recent release, 1.3:
/* TinyWM is written by Nick Welch , 2005.
*
* This software is in the public domain
* and is provided AS IS, with NO WARRANTY. */
#include
#define MAX(a, b) ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))
int main()
{
Display * dpy;
Window root;
XWindowAttributes attr;
XButtonEvent start;
XEvent ev;
if(!(dpy = XOpenDisplay(0x0))) return 1;
root = DefaultRootWindow(dpy);
XGrabKey(dpy, XKeysymToKeycode(dpy, XStringToKeysym("F1")), Mod1Mask, root,
True, GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync);
XGrabButton(dpy, 1, Mod1Mask, root, True, ButtonPressMask, GrabModeAsync,
GrabModeAsync, None, None);
XGrabButton(dpy, 3, Mod1Mask, root, True, ButtonPressMask, GrabModeAsync,
GrabModeAsync, None, None);
for(;;)
{
XNextEvent(dpy, &ev);
if(ev.type == KeyPress && ev.xkey.subwindow != None)
XRaiseWindow(dpy, ev.xkey.subwindow);
else if(ev.type == ButtonPress && ev.xbutton.subwindow != None)
{
XGrabPointer(dpy, ev.xbutton.subwindow, True,
PointerMotionMask|ButtonReleaseMask, GrabModeAsync,

}
else if(ev.type == MotionNotify)
{
int xdiff, ydiff;
while(XCheckTypedEvent(dpy, MotionNotify, &ev));
xdiff = ev.xbutton.x_root - start.x_root;
ydiff = ev.xbutton.y_root - start.y_root;
XMoveResizeWindow(dpy, ev.xmotion.window,
attr.x + (start.button==1 ? xdiff : 0),
attr.y + (start.button==1 ? ydiff : 0),
MAX(1, attr.width + (start.button==3 ? xdiff : 0)),
MAX(1, attr.height + (start.button==3 ? ydiff : 0)));
}
else if(ev.type == ButtonRelease)
XUngrabPointer(dpy, CurrentTime);
}
}
Here is annotated.c, which is just tinywm.c with a lot of comments explaining what is going on. This should give you a reasonable idea of how everything works.
/* TinyWM is written by Nick Welch , 2005.
*
* This software is in the public domain
* and is provided AS IS, with NO WARRANTY. */
/* much of tinywm's purpose is to serve as a very basic example of how to do X
* stuff and/or understand window managers, so i wanted to put comments in the
* code explaining things, but i really hate wading through code that is
* over-commented -- and for that matter, tinywm is supposed to be as concise
* as possible, so having lots of comments just wasn't really fitting for it.
* i want tinywm.c to be something you can just look at and go "wow, that's
* it? cool!" so what i did was just copy it over to annotated.c and comment
* the hell out of it. ahh, but now i have to make every code change twice!
* oh well. i could always use some sort of script to process the comments out
* of this and write it to tinywm.c ... nah.
*/
/* most X stuff will be included with Xlib.h, but a few things require other
* headers, like Xmd.h, keysym.h, etc.
*/
#include
#define MAX(a, b) ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))
int main()
{

/* we use this to save the pointer's state at the beginning of the

/* return failure status if we can't connect */
if(!(dpy = XOpenDisplay(0x0))) return 1;
/* you'll usually be referencing the root window a lot. this is a somewhat
* naive approach that will only work on the default screen. most people
* only have one screen, but not everyone. if you run multi-head without
* xinerama then you quite possibly have multiple screens. (i'm not sure
* about vendor-specific implementations, like nvidia's)
*
* many, probably most window managers only handle one screen, so in
* reality this isn't really *that* naive.
*
* if you wanted to get the root window of a specific screen you'd use
* RootWindow(), but the user can also control which screen is our default:
* if they set $DISPLAY to ":0.foo", then our default screen number is
* whatever they specify "foo" as.
*/
root = DefaultRootWindow(dpy);
/* you could also include keysym.h and use the XK_F1 constant instead of
* the call to XStringToKeysym, but this method is more "dynamic." imagine
* you have config files which specify key bindings. instead of parsing
* the key names and having a huge table or whatever to map strings to XK_*
* constants, you can just take the user-specified string and hand it off
* to XStringToKeysym. XStringToKeysym will give you back the appropriate
* keysym or tell you if it's an invalid key name.
*
* a keysym is basically a platform-independent numeric representation of a
* key, like "F1", "a", "b", "L", "5", "Shift", etc. a keycode is a
* numeric representation of a key on the keyboard sent by the keyboard
* driver (or something along those lines -- i'm no hardware/driver expert)
* to X. so we never want to hard-code keycodes, because they can and will
* differ between systems.
*/

* so we can safely assume that we'll receive Alt+F1 events, Alt+Button1
* events, and Alt+Button3 events, but no others. You can either do

* XSelectInput with KeyPressMask/ButtonPressMask/etc to catch all events
