desktop-tools

desktop-tools is a collection of tools to run my desktop that might be useful to other people as well.

  • 'dwmstatus' does literally everything my dwm doesnt but Id like it to. It includes PulseAudio volume management and hand-written NUT and MPD clients, all in the name of liberation from GPL-licensed software of course.

  • 'brightness' allows me to change the brightness of w/e display device I have.

  • 'fancontrol-ng' is a clone of fancontrol that can handle errors on resume from suspend instead of setting fans to maximum speed and quitting; in general it doesnt handle everything the original does

  • 'shellify' is a simple script that sets up a shell for commands like vgdb and nmcli that are painfully lacking it

  • 'gdm-switch-user' tells the running GDM daemon, if any, to show the switch user screen

Dont expect them to work under any OS that isnt Linux.
