Desktop Icons+Wallpaper Manager

dugan · 10-28-2015, 12:57 PM

I'm in my second day of trying out AwesomeWM, and I think it would go well with a program that manages the desktop. One that displays the wallpaper, desktop icons, handles desktop right-click menu, and might possibly also be a file manager.

I've used rox-filer (with IceWM) in the past. I'm also considering Thunar and PCManFM.

I'd prefer something that doesn't need a session manager, although that's a preference and not a requirement.

What does the forum recommend?

ALl the bits you may need are here, desktop, wm, panel, wallpapers etc very small dependency list, Xlib, cairo, imlib2 and a few others no major toolkits, see what you think.

Did you write lfsdesktop?

Have you considered putting it on GitHub?
