OroborOSX: XDarwin Aqua-Like Window Manager

Posted by timothy on from the eyes-bulge-out-of-your-head dept.

UnanimousCoward writes: "I've just downloaded OroborOSX, "A modified Oroborus-based X11 window manager for use with XFree86 and XDarwin on Mac OS X." It's truly a wm worthy of standing side-by-side with Aqua in rootless mode. Here are some screenshots from Jonathan Tyzack (I'm too lazy to create my own, but my experience is the same). Using MacGimp under OroborOSX is awesome ..." The original Oroborus looks interesting as well; the original author has discontinued work on Oroborus, but it looks like the code has found a nice new application.

      hey man who said open source was about innovation? Open source isn't about that dude, open source is about making imitations of popular apps and giving them away.

      It's about half an hour before I can leave my cubicle and head home.

      I'll buy two sixpacks of delicious local beer and drink them slowly while simultaneously watching porn DVDs on Linux (hooray for region 0 DVDs!) and trolling Slashdot.

      Fridays can't get any better!

    Oh, wait...
    • Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
    • Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
    • This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

    Bugger!
