classic-wm gives you Mac OS System 6 (and earlier) style monochromatic window management, in the X window system.
make
- Install Chicago bitmap font.
-
You can convert the original font to a BDF via fontforge, and should end up with a font identifying as:
-FontForge-Chicago-Medium-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-P-78-MacRoman-0
classic-wm will accept any font matching:
-*-Chicago-*-*-*--12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
-
- Run
classic-wm
as your new window manager - For a richer experience, you can also set your background to alternating B&W pixels using
xsetroot -grey
.
You can enable the single-click collapse button shown below by building with make COLLAPSE_BUTTON_ENABLED=1
.
Even without the collapse button enabled, all windows will support collapsing by double clicking on any portion of the titlebar that isn't a button. Collapsing a window does not change its width, but reduces it to consume only as much space as its title bar.
