Not sarcastic, I genuinely like this sort of thing. To each their own.

Thanks! I just tried it out, it looks nice! I’ll stick with it for a bit.

That looks like artwork from The Lispy Gopher Show. I love it!

That might work if I re-bound the split-window function to launch a new Emacs client, because this is the function that most other Emacs functions use to split the frame into windows.

But I think a better approach would be to just add a single rule function into the display-buffer-alist that always asks for a new frame no matter what the input is.

Mickey Peterson wrote an article on how Emacs manages its own windows, and the Elisp Manual on Windows is pretty good too.

Yes! Emacs has already taken over most of my desktop environment apps with the exception of the web browser and a few apps like Blender and Gimp. I haven’t gone as far as you, getting each Emacs buffer to display in its own frame in is own WM-level window, but that would make for a more immersive experience. Also, your color scheme is similar to the one I use now. I love it.

I can’t wait for the day when software written in Lisp takes over my window manager, then my panel, then my session manager, then my whole operating system kernel.

Is that icon theme available outside of Haiku OS?

I like it! What I would have done differently: use the original colors, the deep blue color for the window decoration in Windows 98 is quite different from the color you are using. Also I would use a green wallpaper of a shade closer to the default on Windows 95/98, and an icon theme with beige and yellow icons.

I have actually been wanting to do something like this with the old Mac OS 7 “Platinum” theme, modernizing it for Xfce so it looks like the old Mac OS 7 in spirit, but not exactly like Mac OS 7 the way most immitation Platinum themes try to do.

I have never tried Farsi in Gnome, but it looks like Gnome supports it quite well!

Nyxt is Common Lisp bindings to WebKit, so not exactly a Chromium fork, but uses the same web rendering and JavaScript engine as Chromium. The important thing is that you can program it using Common Lisp as well as JavaScript.

Woah, woah, woah… there is a Wayland compositor called DWL and a status bard called DTao that can be scripted using Guile Scheme?! Holy shit!

Now I know exactly what I am going to do as soon as my Linux distro swtiches over to Wayland.

And kudos also for using Nyxt and Emacs. The Lisp runs strong in this one.

No.

Well, OK, yes we can talk about it, but you’re buying the beer.

And yes, tiling windows in KDE it is pretty good. But I would prefer the option of having a toggle on window decorations (unless there is one, but I missed it). I prefer my tiling windows to be undecorated, and my floating windows to be decorated.
