A TWM that can use Trayer/Tint2? Plus some other things I "need" in it

I know the beauty of TWM and all, but here's the real problem I'm having: I want to use my tray/bar setup. I've got it exactly how I want it and I don't want to mess with it right now. Specifically, I have conky, tint, and trayer all on the same line so I have maximal real estate going.
But every time I try a TWM I totally lose my ability to use those things. Now I can deal with not having my beloved right-click menu I guess, but I definitely need the following:
1) Alt-F2 run dialog
2) My tray and taskbar area untouched
3) ONLY three windows tiled (browser, chat room, IM window), all else should float
4) Not native taskbar thing
That' it, but for the life of me I can't configure any to do it. Maybe Awesome does but I'm not spending the six hours necessary to learn the language.

I desisted from posting in this thread, because I thought you only wanted infor pertaining to TWM -- which I have never used. But since others have suggested you different WMs, I will go ahead and add my own 2 cents.
musca supports all that you want. I use it almost exclusively now. it uses dmenu which acts as a run dialog as well. You can however still choose to install gmrun or any other run dialog program that you want.
But I agree with Ashren, that if you want only a few types of windows tiled, then openbox or pekwm or even fluxbox would be a better way to go about it. In OB, you can set up per app rules in the rc.xml file under the
<applications></applications>
Note that you will have to get the WM_CLASS values for the apps that you want to tile. Use the geometry attributes to position them with/without decor and any other options that you might want.
Using scripts like wumwum or the above mentioned stiler is also another option.

  • Need more than one iCloud account that can use Bookmarks, Photo Stream, etc.

    Unless someone has found a way I can't create a second iCloud on Lion that can use Booksmarks, Photostream, Reminders and Notes. You can do this on iOS 5 so why not Lion? Seems to me to either be an oversight or bad design and I hope it's just an oversight.
    Now you ask why would you want to do this. Easy, to have all of your iOS devices and your family computers able to use the same Photo Stream. That way everyone in the family photos will be synced up and protected on multiple computers plus being shared. 
    As I said the iOS devices can do this not just not Lion.
    So someone please tell me I'm wrong and show me how or Apple please add this to Lion ASAP.

    No, you can only connect to one iCloud account.

  • I don't have a wireless keyboard or mouse for my 2007 iMac, is there any way that can use remote desktop and access it from my 2010mbp.

    A comma-delimited list of expressions can contain no more than 1000 expressions. A comma-delimited list of sets of expressions can contain any number of sets, but each set can contain no more than 1000 expressions.
    The following are some valid expression lists in conditions:

  • HT201328 I do travel to Europe several day a year. It is true that I can use the Iphone 5 in other country with no trouble ??

    I do travel to Europe several day a year. It is true that I can use the Iphone 5 in other country with no trouble ??

    If your phone is locked to AT&T, you can certainly travel & use your phone, but you'll have to get AT&T to provision your account for International use...select the country/countries & plan. This is very expensive, as the roaming partners set the rates & you generally pay through the nose.
    And no, you can't use a local sim if your phone is locked to AT&T.

  • I recently purchased an iphone 4. I had a 3gs before and had no problem connnecting to wi fi . Everyone thing in my house that can use wi fi works except my phone i go some where else and it works everywhere except my house.  WHAT TO DO

    i RECENTLY GOT THE IPHONE FOUR EVERYONE IN MY HOMEM THAT CAN USE WI FI IT WORKS ACCEPT ON MY PHONE.I GO SOME WHERE ELSE AND IT WORKS THE ONLY PLACD THE WI FI ON MY PHONE DOESNT WORK IS AT MY HOUSE HOW DO I CONNECT TO WI FI ??????????

    Tracy, first you should restart the iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.  This process could solve some of your problems.  Also make sure you have the latest update, go into  our settings>general>software update.  On the wifi issue try restarting your router, if you are still having problems try resetting your network settings, go into your settings>general>reset then tap reset network settings. 
    The battery issues seems normal, the battery will not last 24 hours. 

  • Is there a video chat app that can use the Charge's front facing camera?

    Is there a video chat app that can use the Charge's front facing camera?
    Edit: for video chat between the Charge and a PC. 
    Thanks!

    I tried Tango, Qik, and ooVoo. 
    The only one that can use the Charge's front facing camera AND video chat with a PC is the ooVoo.
    Works perfectly!
    Tango and Qik ad mobile-to-mobile only at this time.
    Thanks!
    P.S.   .... this really makes me wonder why Skype cannot work with the front facing camera if other
    companies can do it on the Froyo?  I guess Skype developers are really lazy(or have no incentive
    to make it work)

  • I want to upgrade to iphone5 AND switch syncing to newer Mac that can use iCloud. Can I do this?

    I have owned an iPhone since the first, and it has always been synced to my old iMac. Now, I own newer machines (that can use iCloud), and I want to upgrade to an iPhone5 now. However, if I sync it to the old iMac, that machine in not iCloud capable.
    How do I do this without loosing all the apps and contacts, etc?

    you can sync your iphone 5 with the old imac to get the information then usw the icloud. all your inforamtion with be saved to icloud and then you can sign in to icloud on the new imac.

  • For Cisco SPA112: can I make dial plan that can use 6 digit number without having to dial the area code 00357 but not for 0030?

    Cisco SPA112:
    Can I make dial plan that can use 6 digit numbers without having to dial the area code 00357 but also being able to dial 0030xxxxxxxxxx numbers?

    If you include a country number, you have to drop the initial 0 from the area code. eg +31 10 2345 6789 instead of +31 (0)10 2345 6789

  • Hi I am searching for a app which i can use to protect games or other apps from my childs. not to protect all only a few

    hi im searchingg for an app which i can use to protect games or other apps from my childs. not to protect all only a few

    Sorry, but you will not find any such app.  The iOS itself is set up such that 3rd parth apps can have almost no interaction with any other app (exceptions being the ability of some to read data from some of the OS included feautures, like Maps reading location information from iOS location services).  So there is no way to design an app that would interfere with or restrict how another app works - the iOS simply precludes that.

  • My keyboard on macbook pro (laptop) is acting weird. One key is not responding at all. Have verified using Keyboard viewer and some other keys are printing the unresponsive character at random.

    my keyboard on macbook pro (laptop) is acting weird. One key is not responding at all. Have verified using Keyboard viewer and some other keys are printing the unresponsive character at random. "z" is the unresponsive character.
    Is it a damaged keyboard ?
    The laptop is just 2 months old, will Apple replace it with a new one if its indeed a damaged keyboard or just repair, I use it for official purposes so being without a laptop is not much of an option.

    No one here works for Apple, so we don't know what Apple might or might not do.  If it's a genuine defect, they will of course repair it under warranty.  It is not their responsibility if it effects your ability to work or not, so that's on you.
    If, however, they determine that the key is problematic as a result of your misuse of the laptop, then everything is on you.  And trust me, if they find a glob of dried up beer or coffee there, they will charge you.
    Your only choice is to take it in for repair.

  • I have been unable to download the iphone software v5.1.  I keep getting the timing out message.  Is there someway to set my network connections to allow the download?  Can I get the update some other way?

    The Huntress is correct, I have missed that you have an iPhone 3G
    Usually iTunes will tell you in that case, that iOS 4.2.1 the newest version for your phone.
    If you don't have an iPhone 3G, network connections timing out can be a security software problem:

  • Is there a linear equations VI thatI can use for inputting the coefficients with variables attached to them? Thank you.

    Is there a linear equation VI that I can use for inputting the coefficients with variables attached to them? I am currently studying elec engineering and am in the thick of transient analysis. It is very time consuming figuring the mesh and nodal analysis in the transform domain. With 3 branches in a mesh analysis the resistors, inductors and capacitors are represented with variable s in them. I need to determine in the transform domain then convert to the time domain. One equation goes like this: (3+2s+1/4s)i1s - (2s)i2s - (1/4s)i3s = 6/s -6. The other equations are similar. I must keep the variable s in the equation and solve it with s in the result. I made several VIs for determining simultaneous linear equations some for complex numbers and they work great. This one has me a little stumped. I thinking that maybe Labview doesn't have a VI for this. The other VIs were fine because you just plugged in the numbers and ran the VI and got your result. Any VIs that do LaPlace transform operations?
    Thank you.

    Hello Tom,
    You can find a VI for doing Laplace transforms in Functions->Analyze->Signal Processing->Frequency Domain (this VI is only available in the Full and Professional versions).
