[w]indow [m]manipulation [s]hellscripts.

A bunch of shellscripts around wmutils.

Well, not only is wms not a wm per se, it's also not an original project. What is it then you ask. It's my implementation of some tools from the wmutils project in a bunch of horrible shell scripts. As a clear requirement, you should have the wmutils binaries. Namely: https://github.com/wmutils.

Also wms is a derivative of [ ! wm]: https://git.disroot.org/root_sti/nowm.git (dead at birth)

This one is designed to maintain and incorporate from that one, things that are essential for my workflow. Also, this must contain future experiments around the configuration of my scripts. I am learning, discovering, experimenting. This makes these scripts very volatile. Some of the scripts have other crap as dependencies which I have made available at: https://git.disroot.org/root_sti/others.git

HISTORY I have left the three main scripts, which are the ones I use daily, as the fundamental option. I've put the others, which are mostly experimental features, in a folder called opt, for optional.

My thanks and credits to the wmutils project. I wish you luck on your way.

THE CORE SCRIPTS:

[wms_voyeur.sh] watch xorg events and do things.

[wms_focuser.sh] manage focus and colors.

[wms_usher.sh] move / resize windows. -fullsize. -half screen (north, south, est, west). -centered.

THE OPT SCRIPTS

[wms_jumper.sh] jump across windows with menú. (dmenu, fzfmenu, etc.) -next / prev / wid.

[wms_shepperd.sh] herds (group windows by herd). -add individual window. -add all windows. -togle herds.

[wms_layout.sh] window arrangements. -monocule. -widespread. -tiled.

THE FETICHES

[wms_batlarm.sh] alternate color borders according to the state of the battery (only on laptops, depends on power.sh)

[wms_termrename.sh] change terminal name.

[wms_clearer.sh] clear desktop maping and unmaping windows.

[wms_mimic.sh] extract colors from the desktop content and use them for decorations, background and more.

[wms_backgroundize.sh] send windows to the background and ingore them.

[wms_screensaver.sh] experimental scripts that keps windows in a loop of random movements.

This spawn doesn't have mouse support Sorry for the verbosity of the comments, the idea is to explain each script in general terms so that it can be easier to hack them
