Hello guys. I have added 3 additional layouts on top of bspwm. Renamed it to nex. And here is this workflow.

Might be slow in a 2gb ddr2 ram with screen recorder on. Else it is fast. Consumes 440 - 543 Mb RAM at startup, slowing increasing and stabilising somewhere near 600Mib. CPU @ idle is 10% (mine is very old, yours may be even less)

Current layouts :

- binary (bsp) (scheme : alternate, spiral, longest side)

- monocle

- tall (variants normal, reversed)

- wide (variants normal, reversed)

- grid

Any suggestions?

Hello guys. I created a window manager based on bspwm, which you can call it an extension. Previously, it had tiled and monocle layouts, I extended to include wide and tall, renamed tiled to binary layout.

I am planning to do a major refactor on the entire codebase (of bspwm -> nex). Give your suggestions, on what to add, how, etc.

Definitely -> the code base was hard to understand with functions spread across many files. So I used claude to help me understand what every function does. But still, I was unable to grasp.

I am going to write it from scratch. With inline comments and documentation. There will be no AI used in this rewrite I am gonna do.

If you people are interested, tell me what name I can give it. Also currently we are using sxhkd for keybindings. Standalone unlike other WMs. I am planning to integrate it into the wm itself with some command syntax like this :

`ipc keybindings [super + alt + c + h] { shell commands seperated by ;}`

Something like this.

This is new pomodoro module I made for polybar in C. Uses unix socket for communication - pomod is the daemon, pomoc is the client. Have two bash scripts to integrate into polybar like this.

Would like people to try and tell their experience. Any suggestions on what to improve it on?

Hello guys. Recently I made a pomodoro daemon and client in C. I added two scripts and it seamlessly integrated into polybar. (Right = pomodoro, Left = Workspace).

Here is the link for the repo : https://github.com/cobra-r9/pomoc

Ppl who are willing to try?

Is not this calm enough to use for long time? This is my final stable rice (not gonna rice again, maybe not different rice).

Hello guys.

I was learning fread. I have a doubt - fread(buffer, sizeof(buffer), 1, file) vs fread(buffer, sizeof(char), sizeof(buffer), file) : what is the difference between these two. When should I use them?. Buffer is a chat array of size 1024.

Here is the git gist of my codes. I was trying to read from a file called demo.txt, which has size less than 1024 bytes.

There are two tries : fread-error.c and fread-doubt.c

IN fread-error.c, the output was : file reading failed.

IN fread-doubt.c, the output was fine : but that was a partial read, is not it? Then how do I check for partial reads?

Case 1 : file size is less than buffer size.

So there is a partial read? (As in fread-doubt.c). But how do I know if the file size is less than buffer size in prior?

Case 2 : file size is exactly greater than buffer size.

How do I assign the buffer the exact file size amount of bytes before the read?

Case 3 : file size is greater than the buffer size. But how do I know that the file I am reading is greater than buffer size? This will lead to partial read right? (If filesize > buffer)

I know. It is an array of questions. But right now I am confused and need to be clear how actually to read in all three cases with file read checks and check for partial read and ferror.

After theme integrations to the terminal and some additions to cli tool, I have a fairly productive setup. Arch + Nix; + nixos in another partiyon for experimentation (Ah, I can't even afford a VM). Intel i915. Yet it is smooth (without screenrec).

Refer to caelestia branch. Not the main branch.

Screen Recorder : ffmpeg

Hey guys. I am near the end : finishing the left bar. Thou it is only indicator stage and no clickable functions wired. But it indicates, wifi, bluetooth, audio and mic + battery(in laptop only). Soon to add system tray icons too. Then gonna wire the hover reveal stuffs.

Dynamic theming enabled for now.

Managed to integrate the caelestia's sidebar in aevum shell. Your opinions? Looking forward for early access people. Need someone to try this.

Caelestia in x11. Has both verical bar version (caelestia branch) as well as horizontal bar version (main branch)

Git repo : https://github.com/rudv-ar/aevum-shell

For *Nix* people - work is on the way and you should be able to give a try. Though advanced users can try now.

For arch, follow the installation manual in the caelestia branch of aevum.

Previously. I posted about building a caelestia like shell in x11. Here it is, midway processing through actions pane. (Right pane).

Added toggles, screen recorder(custom made using ffmpeg) and a Keep Awake toggle. Notifications Center not yet made. Yet - here is a demo.

Give me some suggestions.

Looking for people who can try and spot bugs. It works fine in my PC.

Nope. We cannot make exact copy. But I am trying to make one. Welcoming contributions.

Able to run smoothly (ignore lagging due to recording in background) in intel dual core, legacy pheonix bios. 2 gb ddr2 ram memory.

idle ram usage : 800-840 mb

shell startup time : 30 seconds (intentional delay in my case)

Currently - zero issues - works in my machine.
