Sawfish

my configuration

About

I have my sawfish configuration online here, in case it is useful to anyone. It's not what I would consider an impressive or extensive setup, but it hopefully will answer the occasional question about how to implement or configure various features.

Config Files

I have my setup split into several files. This is how they are arranged:

I share this configuration across several machines, and all the config is kept in subversion. So, some parts are split into generic and machine-specific portions. This lets me share most of the config but still customize each machine for specific behavior that differs from the others.

Tabbed Windowing

I looked for "sawfish tabs" one day, hoping someone had implemented tabs in sawfish. I was looking for something like pwm or fluxbox's tabs. I didn't find exactly what I was looking for, but google pointed me at something which was a good start. Yann Hodique's sawfish code site contains fluxbox-like tabs which were close to what I wanted. I got his code to work, and have since made improvements. The result is available here.

What you will need for tabbed windowing are several files from the list above: tab.jl, tabgroup.jl, tab-keymap.jl, marks.jl, and a tab-enabled theme. Look at tab.jl for installation instructions.

If you make any improvements to the tab code, or make any tab-enabled themes, or even just find the tabbed windowing useful, please let me know. I'd like to incorporate improvements into the code here, and provide more themes which are compatible.
