Herbstluftwm Configs

Hello! I'm sharing my simple modified herbstluftwm config with anyone interested to try herbstluft window manager.
Personally left me very fine impressions with his features.

Edited: RE-made a new concept/code, two panels on different view now (top/bottom)
-----------------------------------
Compars herbs vs spectrwm from my view/ short experience,
These are my findings, correct or wrong:

Herbs
PRO: herbstluftwm+dzen2 full screen feature regarding player/viewer i can now watch freely without worrying about panel focus on top.
Pads feature are managed better on this WM.
Navigating tags [1][2][3][4] with mouse wheel fulfills my wish thanks to dzen2.

CON: Float, float is not that great. For example i can't use float like i did on spectrwm i mean like this image yet in default config. Maybe i must learn to tweak it for individual window floats.
dzen2 doesn't support xft font on panel on herbswm? Asian txt/UTF-8 appears like [][][][] while SpectrWM panel xft runs just fine.
Compiling dzen2 with xft support may fix it.

Spectrwm
PRO: Very minimal tiling WM, i love his individual floats options.
Combination of conky-cli aswell baraction.sh are very good and very easy to config.
For anyone who will like entering on the tiling world. SpectrWM is a good start.

CON: Dzen2 have some issue on spectrwm panel that doesn't hide on a video / image full screen.

As they says: there is always a plus/minus from one to another WM.
I did herbstluftwm this time.

My efforts are done on a Jessie stable system.
With coming of Stretch there may be various improvements and adjustments.

Edited
1/ fixed right-click that crash bottom panel
2/ img added on screenshot thread

Re: Herbstluftwm Configs

Hi again! I'm trying to make a different connection with herbstluftwm + tint2.
Since herbstluftwm doesn't have a default toolbar, tint2 i think is a good solution.
Sounds a bit weird, we rarely see such a combination but works miraculously. I'm really surprised by the result. So I'll use it for a while

Nice work Nili, thanks for sharing.

Hi Steve, Better start from their Index The most suitable place to enter on the game.
According to Wikipedia, You can pronunce as "hlwm", "herbstluft" or "autumn air".

Hope to looks interestingly on you. This is my 3rd WM after openbox/spectrwm. But i like as well dwm, i3, fluxbox also JWM sometimes. WM's are excellent

Re: Herbstluftwm Configs

Think you can use JWM with tint2 as the taskbar in JWM can be hidden or removed (with some tricks). Those hlwm shots look good so might try it on an old IBM Thinkpad T42 that I use as a netbook.

That's right, I've tried it and went for beauty.
I like JWM panelbar aswell. It's a bit hard to make it looks good but with some efforts can be reached.

My hlwm efforts are just plain and minimal without much dirty hacks, i like plain and simple things. Less is more

Re: Herbstluftwm Configs

CON: Float, float is not that great. For example i can't use float like i did on spectrwm i mean like this image yet in default config. Maybe i must learn to tweak it for individual window floats.

Maybe set layout to max can solve your problem
The default keybind for max is mod+w
I heard individual float in herbstluftwm only work if the layout is max.

If it ain't broke, then tweak it until it breaks.

Thanks Addy, Indeed with maximize window fix that concern, i use those shortcuts already.

# layouting
hc keybind $Mod-r remove
hc keybind $Mod-space cycle_layout 1
hc keybind $Mod-s floating toggle
hc keybind $Mod-f fullscreen toggle
hc keybind $Mod-p pseudotile toggle

This feature existed but I didn't knew early when i started the topic, later learned the usage.

however, spectrwm handle way better window floats in my opinion. HLWM still on use on my desktop.

Thanks again for your adds!

Best regards!

You are very welcome
Learning this WM is really interesting. I'm getting smarter everyday
I also feel that herbstluftwm is not designed to be floating.
And I just installed spectrwm, let's see what I can do with this WM

1.Thanks
2.Yeah! This WM it's a bit obscure against i3, dwm or other well known window managers. I find easy to handle, and his options are not just a few.
3.Even i have that feeling, but since i'm on a oldstable system and i'm tesing from here. I do not have much to reports as I'm back in time. Most of my issue/bugs are because i have old repositories.
4.spectrwm i find the most easy tiling wm, i used almost 1/5 year. It is said to all beginners they want to experience tiling wm, spectrwm is a good start. So i did year ago on my transition stack>tile.

Thanks for your comments, Pleased to see your works aswell!

Best regards!

1. You are very welcome!!
2. I also feel hard to get support for this WM. Most of the code I get from official Manual Book
3. Any reason to not upgrade to Stretch?
4. Yes, it's easy to learn. But I feel hard to imitate my i3-gaps behavior in spectrwm. I will try again later. I'm still learning Xfwm Standalone now. And my next target is learning Fvwm

The Iosevka nerd font is available at Nerd Fonts official repo, It can be easily found. And the Icomoon font is available here
And the Polybar above is using weather module. Put this in your $PATH. In my case, I export ~/.bin folder to my $PATH using ~/.profile

# Make ~/.bin folder executable
export PATH=$PATH:~/.bin
# My default editor is nano. I don't even able to find exit button in vim :D
export EDITOR='nano'

So, put this Weather script at ~/.bin/weather

#!/bin/bash

# I take this script from Anachron's i3blocks
# I only slightly modify this script to add an option to show icon, useful for my tint2 executor
# 'weather -i' = with icon, 'weather' = text only

I share the weather script above with my tint2 executor. So, I add some icon options
And another stuff in the screenshoot:

Wallpaper: Yosemite by Ahmad Pastrana
Terminal: termite & URxvt, config included in my dotfiles. Both dark and light color. I use dark color (Nord) as default. I have made some instructions in the readme file to change it to light.
Terminal Font: M+ 1mn, my favourite font.
GTK Theme: Arc, slightly modified. I will share my modified version if You interested
Icons: Halo. You can find it easily using Google.
Music Player: ncmpcpp
Now Playing : Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name Of
The Rest of Dotfiles : Here. I have written a proper readme file, and some comments inside the every files. Also some descriptions in the Imgur album. Hope those will be useful.

If You have any question, don't hesitate to ask
Best regards,
Addy

If it ain't broke, then tweak it until it breaks.
