This was my first real C project and it shows. Learning C is quite fun and I still have a long way to go. This next rewrite should be less of a hot-mess than the original Xlib version. Notable mistakes: - while (1 && ...) - for win (spastic pre-processor stuff) - no proper tracking of client sizes/positions. - lazy window focus model. - almost code-golfed code-base. - circular-doubly-linked-list for clients. The following changes mark the initial commit for the rewrite. The window manager works but does not yet do enough for it to be usable. Clients, keybindings, a configuration file, etc, etc do not yet exist. Baby steps.

I'm just curious, what made you decide to do an xcb rewrite? |

I wanted to clean up sowm (I realize now the error of my ways) and decided it'd be a good idea to also learn XCB in the process. |

Hey, would you consider making an archived version of this repo so people can continue to use the xlib version? Thanks. |

The Xlib version will be forever available via git's tags and the commit history. The xcb version will be far better to work with overall. |
