Kahakai

Well, I've found a window manager that deserves some recognition: Kahakai

Sadly, not too many other people agree with me. I can't find any themes, documentain or otherwise help files on it, but the funny thing is, I really don't need it. I figured out how to edit some of the settings via text file in a matter of seconds. That's how simple this WM is to configure. I don't know how many of you have given this WM a look see, but I'd appreciate my fellow minimalists giving it a look see. It's good enough for my rich tastes, yet at the same time, it satisfies my evil minimalistic side...

:p

Anyway, the purpose of this post is for me to declare the following:

While some of the aspects of the kahakai confguration may be simple, it would stand to benefit the kahakai project as well as the general user base if proper documentation was in fact available. I will do my best to create some suable docs that will make kahakai configs even more painless...

Wish me luck!

Maybe I'm dreaming but hasn't kahakai been discontinued?

Yea it has been, they are rewritting another wm which should be similar, from scratch.

It is a great window manager though, I used it for a little while and it's very nice

Welp. Changed my mind...

Fluxbox is kahakai with ballz. No reason to further the cause of a dead project when things that work exactly the same (kahakai is a reworking of blackbox) exist.
