I hope this is okay to post since it is somewhat different to my other setup, but this is my writing/chatting/free time computer.

It runs WindowLab, a very cool window manager by Rick Nick Gravgaard; along with XEdit, XClock, irssi and Elinks.

    This looks super retro, I like it. Do you have more of that story or is it still in development?

      It’s just a short excerpt from a Trek fan work I am working on, but it’s not done yet. :)

          It’s just what I need honestly, and since it comes included with xorg-apps, I don’t have to install any expansive UI toolkits like GTK or Qt just for a text editor. I usually tend to rely on the standard Xorg apps anyway since they do what I want them to do, look neat with Xlib and all, and don’t require anything useless to be installed on my system. If I want a clock, I use Xclock; if I installed some SuperKaramba clock or whatever I’d get swarmed with dozens of dependencies for things I’d never even need.

          I sometimes miss line wrapping but honestly, what else do I need except a place to type text and save it into a file?
