World Domination

Hi Folks,

 

we made it! According to EU-studies Sawfish is the future!

 

The studies ensure Sawfish holds 95% of the market share in the relevant user-groups (Genius', 90-60-90-Nerdinas, perfect-loocking-businessmen), making it a future-safe decision for experiencing the most in window-managing.

 

Sawfish: Functionality - future safe.

 

Sawfish strictly follows the FFF-principe (Form Follows Function) - the perfect solution for ultimate user-control. Peter Heinzmüller from EU research laboratory says: "Luckily Sawfish drew back from GNOME years ago - so it kept a window-manager that allows doing useful work." - he's right!

 

Read what an "experienced GNOME developer" said: "The real problem with GNOME 3, is that it wasn't ambitious enough. We made too many compromises to suit desktop users. In fact, computers that do useful work are so 20th century - we've moved on."

 

According to the EU-studies Sawfish even allows doing useful work in the 22nd century - on practically every device possible (lispsticks, garage door openers, intercontinental ballistic missiles)

 

Sawfish: Groundbreaking productivity solution.

 

Managing windows has never been that easy. Forget all you know about window handles. Instead issue the following commands from within any supported device (electric can openers, hair dryers):

  • (window-open (window-user-looking-at))

respectively

  • (window-close (window-user-looking-at))

 

Make fun out of your family:

  • (window-spread-open (window-at 'bath))

 

while they're taking a shower in mid-december at -20°C outdoors.

Of course Sawfish allows for more.

 

Having annoying neighbours that disturb your personal indoor hard-rock or hardstyle techno festival? No problem at all. Just fire up your remote control:

  • (scan-neighbour-flat 'name)
  • (loop-for 45min (window-spread-open 'all) (window-clash 'all))

 

And they'll never complain anymore. But that's far from being all! Sawfish also aids the desperate housewife in housekeeping:

  • (vision-clean 'window)

optional parameters:

  • mrproper
  • polish
  • nostreaks

 

don't waste any time anymore - do useful work. With Sawfish.

 

Sawfish: improving the user-experience.

 

Sawfish also improves the user-expirience - see yourself:

 

User-Interface (before using Sawfish - afterwards):

 

 

User-Expirience - never raise an exception anymore when trying to connect to /dev/girlfriend - and never be bored again with our famous RAID-6 solution - backup yourself with unseen redundancy:

 

 

Those are just the most-important details of the study. The full study is to be made public 2012-12-21.

 

Be sure to spread the word and tell other users of the outstannding opportunities Sawfish offers.

 

Kind Regards,

Chris

Tip: using Easystroke for gestures on your Desktop

Hi folks,

 

I recently bought an Aiptek 600u graphic tablet. (after fiddling around with the proper settings/drivers the size of the tablet is finally the size of the screen).

 

After looking for non-creative (non-picture/art related) things to do with that little guy I stumbled upon 'easystroke':

 

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/easystroke/wiki

 

Easystroke enables gesture support on your Desktop :]

 

start issueing 'easystroke' to start immediately with the GUI 'easystroke -g'.

 

Example Screenshot (it's rather intuitive, so I won't annoy you with text) are attached. It not just works with Tablet, but with ordinary mouse, too.

 

Pure awesome.

 

Have Fun,

Chris

Re: Tip: using Easystroke for gestures on your Desktop

While I'm at it... the 600u has some space on the device marked as 'buttons'.

Is there a way to explicitly only use a given portion of the tablet as Pointer and do special things then hitting the other areas?

 

About that buttons, see: http://www.aiptek.de/index.php/en/products/graphics-tablets-a-digital-pens/graphics-tablets/slimtablet-600u-premium2 you'll see the buttons best on the third screenshot.

 

Thanks

Re: Tip: using Easystroke for gestures on your Desktop

I am one of those that uses easy stroke on a daily basis :)

But I have to say that I wish that some commands that take parameters
(think input for call-command) would
react to mouse commands. But

Two bugfix patches for tabgroup.jl. Apply after 03-tabgroup-fix.patch
and 04-tabgroup-fix.patch patches from above to the local-master branch.

why.
