Subject: [9fans] Rio in a window
Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2005 14:07:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7A8D896E-2244-492B-AB1C-2C42E7C633D5@telus.net> (raw)
I run plan9 ports on my Mac, using Apple's X11 (XFree 4.4.0
derived), but want to run rio as my window manager. That's easy
enough, but usually I want to run with my mac desktop showing too,
which means running X rootless, which leaves me without the desktop
background to pull menus up with, especially a "hide" to push my full-
screen acme back so I can see my other windows. I can use the X11
pulldowns to switch to full-screen, but I'm certain there is a more
elegant solution.
In particular, I'd love to be able to run rio within a window and
have that window behave like an X11 screen? Or a non-(X11)-window
manager version of rio? Is there some application that will let me
do this?
Thanks,
Paul
