Window Manager Interactive Non-Interrupting Zero-downtime Editing Rotator

Window managers, change choice change list live, wminizer does

wminizer

wminizer is a script that helps manage wmrotate scripts, enabling on-the-fly editing of window managers without restarting X. The name is a play on "womanizer," reflecting its ability to handle multiple window managers, just as a womanizer might have multiple partners. However, it also fits well with the idea of minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency.

Features

• Interactive: Easily switch and edit wmrotate scripts.
• Non-Interrupting: Make changes without restarting X.
• Zero-downtime: Ensure continuous operation while editing.
• Editing: On-the-fly modifications for seamless updates.
• Rotator: Efficiently rotate and manage window managers.

(Thnx to an llm for help with the backronym and that feature list, lol. Does it show?)

Basically, same as wmrotate,

wmrotate:

• kill current wm (and wmrotate moves on to next wm in list, keep apps running)

it's that simple.

wminizer:

• kill current wmrotate (and wminizer moves on to next wmrotate script in list, keeps apps running) (lets you edit the list, and switch to it, without restarting X).
