for example, i made screensaver. i ran my screensaver program in window 800x600,
screensaver's background is black, but i hoped i could change border color. :-((((

if your window doesn't move, you *can* change the window border colour
(probably by drawing on _screen->image, although i haven't checked).

as soon as the window gets moved or resized, rio will draw the window
borders again however (probably isn't a problem for a screensaver)

Cool, it works! (Since I once tried to write a screensaver myself, I
tried it out.) I did

    back=allocimage(display, Rect(0, 0, 1, 1), CMAP8, 1, DBlack);
    draw(_screen->image, _screen->image->r, back, nil, ZP);

(If you put the draw() call in eresized, it doesn't even matter if the
window is moved or resized.)

But how is it possible in rio to create a window exactly as large as the
screen (without modifying the source)? Also, for a screensaver, the mouse
has to be hidden (or disabled if the screen is to be locked).

It would be nice to have a screensaver/-locker in Plan 9, maybe one that
incorporates Andrey's xscreensaver ports! We have all the pieces, there's
just some cosmetics left to do.

unless you're in a resized drawterm you can do:

    % fn fullscr {echo 0 0  \
         `{hoc -e `{echo $vgasize | sed 's/x/ /g' | awk '{print $1}'}^-^1} \
         `{hoc -e `{echo $vgasize | sed 's/x/ /g' | awk '{print $2}'}^-^1} \
    }
    % window -r `{fullscr} /bin/lock 'some screensaver name'

assuming lock will lock the screen and run the graphical program in it.

it's on the xscr page (together with many changes and additions)

	http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~mirtchov/p9/xscr/

i'll probably substitute the images for links to images -- it gets too
graphics-heavy now...

or, like me, spending a day with two seemingly-identical sets of code, one
of which is an ugly pile of shit, and can blank the cursor; the other, a

Which is why, on my web page to this day, the pictures of my Sarnoff

it's more like this (because i've done it):

	- editing a small change 			-- 5 minutes

repeat:
	- rethinking whether you did the right thing while it compiles

	- waiting for the rest of the compile to finish
								-- 1 hour (varies)

	- goto repeat unless you're happy 	-- 0 minutes

	- pressing ctlr+alt+Fx 			-- 0 minutes

	- pressing ctlr+alt+Fx a few more times because you can't find
	where your last session where 		-- 0 minutes

	- cursing and typing your username at the login: window
								-- 1 minute

	- typing startx :2 to start new X 	-- 1 minute (and waiting for it to start)

	- finding the consequences of your change
								-- 5 minutes

	- killing X because you realized you started the wrong binary
								-- 0 minutes

	- typing $home/src/somewhere/blah/startx
								-- 5 minutes (includes making
								sure it didn't _still_ start the wrong binary)


Frustration: endless...

I'm sorry, you can't beat the functionality you get for something as
simple as Rio.  And as a developer you really can't beat the ~7000 (!)
lines of code that it comprises.

ok, there are differences (vga drivers are in the kernel, for
example).  still it's much simpler and even complete idiots like me
can understand it.  somewhat.

inflamatory subject though, i admit :)

If you were really developing a rio tweak you would have the necessary command for starting rio in Acme somewhere

something like window rc -c rio

so your analogy should be

"You mean the pain and torment of middle click compared to the ease and simplicity of typing ctrl-alt-f7 startx --:2 enter"

add into that the new rio will run next to your editor

i really meant `borders' in the larger sense,

odd to me that there is significant hardware
available casually now but on XP MacOSX Redhat
it's all the same old thing.  different twiddles,

far of the environments i've seen only acme
has really stood out.

How about a proximity token or vicinity token. The vicinity token is clipped

> Similar point -- the menus would still be accessible over vnc.

Yes, of course, but if I do most of my work over vnc then the payoff
for me is small, since I'm using the menu most of the time anyway.  And
then I can't rely on "muscle memory" when I want to move a window -- I
have to consciously think about whether I'm talking to vnc or not (lest
I wind up moving the whole vnc session).

And another thought: I think the real brilliance of chords in acme is
not that they optimize common operations, but that by optimizing a few
important operations they enable a different and more productive style
of working.  It's remarkable how much it has cut down on repetitive
typing for me.  On the other hand, I can't imagine chords ever having
the same sort of fundamental impact on the way I use the window
manager.  Which makes me question whether it's really worth doing.

None of this should dissuade you, of course, if you feel like trying
it.  In fact, if I remember tonight I'll send you the model number
for my mouse.

Logitech has made them with three real buttons plus the thumb button,
and no wheel.  I know, because I have one.  I probably bought it at
least five years ago, though, so I don't know if they still make them.
The world seems to have become wheel-obsessed in the interim.

Unfortunately, I have never found a good use for the thumb button.  I
like your chording-for-window-management idea (it has occurred to me
before), but the payoff has never seemed worth the effort: even if I
taught the mouse driver and the window manager to do the right things,
it still wouldn't work over vnc.

I agree that mouse specific features would be irritating.  I've been
trying to think of ways to make the basic set of rio tasks easier
with a thumb button.  Just because we can use thumb chords to
mimic common tasks without going to the menus (move, resize, new)
doesn't mean the menus have to go away.

Until some function is applied to the thumb button (unlikely, except on
private modifications - 3 button mice are a decent standard to adhere to,
and *no one* wants standard "features" only accessible to owners of
special hardware), why not assign the "middle button" function to the
thumb button? Or maybe even let the thumb-button be the "left" button, and
have the left become the "middle" ?

The scroll-wheel is convenient (under windoze) for *small* scrollings. On
sources, iirc, there is a patch to rio to let scroll-wheeling emulate
up-arrow and down-arrow - I couldn't get it to work with my USB mouse,
though. Is there a wheel patch for usbmouse?

While we're talking about rio hacks, has anyone thought of
uses for a four-button mouse?  I've seen some mice with a
nifty thumb button (button-4?) and can see myself doing
window management with thumb chords a la, thumb-and-forefinger
pick up window to move it.

The main downside to every thumb-button mouse I've

yeah, for example, I want <= and => arrows to mean 'cycle to next window'
instead of 'do whatever down-arrow does'. So I'm looking at the source and

just to be different?  or introduce more strain to the eye, so that
you _really_ need that stiff drink after a day of Plan 9-ing?

i live with black borders on white xterms in lunix, partly because it
makes me feel more comfortable in rio and forces me to switch to its
window more often.

rampant themeing is sure to come -- it's a sign of a healthy userbase
and the first step towards taking over the world (and turning Plan 9
into the next OS-everybody-loves-to-hate :)

I guess you can only change it by modifying the rio sources.
The border color is set in /sys/src/cmd/rio/wind.c.

change the source!

plan 9 doesn't go in for configurable styles in general
(changing the font is as far as it goes).

why black?

i'd like to ask a question about graphics:
is there any way to change the color of window border by libdraw function?
window border is usualy green, i'd like to change it to black.
is that possible?
