[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, using and taking advantage of the modification and addition of atoms in root window. 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

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