If you don't know what WM's are, they're programs that handle how the windows move around on your screen. I don't know why I tried writing one. And an hour ago I wondered why I hadn't by now. It is completely and just utterly foreign to me why I would want to do something so irrelevant. If it was easy, if I was interested in X applications, and so on, then it'd be understandable, but this? Why? What is the demand? Thankfully I'm not completely cut off from my past life so I can read some of my complaints of my current WM. Something about an integrated bookmark system. Sure it'd look nice but I don't really get the point... I'd rather lay in bed all day than deal with stuff like that... Well that just might be my lack of love for shell programming. I'd need to deal with my browser as well, and that I just outright dislike. Ah I wrote some of this on my desktop, not on the laptop I'm currently on. And my desktop PC is actually stowed away for unrelated reasons and the moniter is being used for something else, but it's fine because I remember some of it. One complaint was... Ah I remember I talked about saving layouts... Again, I don't care... I wanted more complicated layouts, like a full screened window at the back and then stuff at the front normal and tiled or something. And I just thought of this now but I'd probably want to be able to switch between windows a lot easier. The current switching commands, and I don't know if I'm simply ignorant of something, are pretty bad. By commands of course I only mean 2. So for example I thought I could have a book in the back and then translucent terminals in front etc. Also some help in - Well it's not important, the point is that I wanted more control, and I wanted to be able to edit things on the fly. But there's lots of tedious things in this, even if I understood X properly, and I shot myself in the foot by trying to use XCB instead of Xlib since the former has very, very little documentation. There's some kind of possibly irrational desire (is it rational to make a WM in the first place?) to not want to use Xlib, because it's a lot slower. This makes me feel like I'm going to implode, though probably not that extreme.
If you go down this road of UI customization, you should know it never ends. Or maybe it does, I wouldn't know, I can't see the end past the horizon. This is causing me non-negligable mental problems, so I'm not going to mention this anymore and do my best to banish it from my mind.
