Hell if you’re feeling really lazy and want this working right now just install full on xfce then make it autorun the applications you need. If openbox fails to work the next step up in terms of bloat is xfwm from xfce (You don’t need to install the full desktop environment, but can instead just use the xfwm tool on its own) It will work in a similar way to openbox, but xfwm will certainly support plank and your popup keyboard programs. Then you could for instance have the applications all launch maximized and then plank can be used to essentially alt-tab, or rather bring to the top, the running applications. I’d second openbox as it’s intended to be used as a floating window manager. (I know I’m just digging this back up again, but here goes) Obviously if these are games or something this might not be optimal as you’d instead want to kill the current program and launch the new one. (With each program having a dedicated workspace and button on the bar) Then finally using your bar have a few buttons to just switch between the workspaces. Have it load all of the programs you want to switch between into different workspaces. The way I would do it is editing your window managers config “file” to disable all of the bindings and the bar that comes with i3. Technically that’s doable, here’s a link that shows how, but it’s a good bit of work and depending on your skill level it might be better to use i3 or dwm.ĮDIT: As for how to specifically use i3 or dwm. Lastly you were mentioning not using a window manager. I haven’t used them myself, but I’ve heard they’re quite powerful and at least one of them probably has some option to show or hide with a swipe up. If you don’t want to write your own swipe checking program and want to simply use a bar that can detect that itself. Then add some kind of bar like lemonbar and write a tiny program which will run in the background and show or hide the bar when a swipe is registered. Personally I would use a minimal xorg + dwm (or i3 if you haven’t used dwm) install. Thank for your time, if it wasn’t clear enough, i’ll be happy to specified. If i do, what should i go for, not wanting anything more that this.Do i need a windows manager in order to achieve this ? can’t the X server be enough ?.I know a lot of windows manager, both that stack or tile, but all of theme are desktop grade, what i need it much simple. This should be “unbreakable” from the UI, because it will be use by “techcursed” people. The ruing app would be maximized, without top/menu bare, or anything (like if run as it from X)īy swiping from the bottom, i can show or hide a dock bare with the graphical application, this need to go over anything, and when i select and application, it need to replace the old one full screen. My goal it to have something like this (made under paint, sorry) : it’s powered by as raspberry and right now, it don’t have any ui whatsoever (raspbian without desktop) It’s a 10 inch tactile screen stuck to the table without keyboard. I’m slowly building my smart home project, and i have to finish the kitchen “tablet”.
