akwarp

a little tool to change x11-workspaces for the lazy ones.

about

‘akwarp’ is agin a little program with a stupid name coz i absolutly lack the ability to think of ‘cool’ project names. nevertheless its a nifty program: it watches two user-defined areas on the current workspace and checks, if the mousepointer is over them for a given time. if thats the case, it changes the workspace. the idea came from http://membres.lycos.fr/akem/Fwarp.c but my version does a lot more without the dependency to wmctrl

features and dependencies

• ‘akwarp’ uses the ewmh standard to communicate with the windowmanager
• written in pure c, no external libs except x11-libs needed
• minimalistic buildsystem
• display the specified regions when mouse is over
• shading of specified regions (need xrender-support)
• specifiy a shapefile to have fancy looking regions (needs xshape-support)
