What is this?

My solution to https://jvns.ca/blog/2019/11/25/challenge--make-a-bouncy-window-manager/ in Nim.

How to build it?

Install nim and nimble and run nimble build. You must have XLib development headers on your system (and obviously an X server).

How to run it?

  • Install Xephyr
  • Make sure you have a running X server

Then run these commands to launch Xephyr. You could also directly execute nimwin from your ~/.xinitrc, but that would be difficult to use.

Xephyr -ac -screen 1280x1024 -br -reset -terminate 2> /dev/null :1 &
env DISPLAY=:1 ./nimwin

How to launch a window?

If you want to run xterm, for example, just run xterm -display :1
