Interesting few days... went through the 🐰🕳️, started by fixing PushButton with custom background color in Dark Mode, to a refactoring of SGI Colors management, to improving *SGImode drawing logic. Snapshots for XNedit and my FileSelectionBox (WIP). Next week, back on FM.

@sprilitsli oh yeah!

[MaXXdesktop @maxxdesktop]

Now I am happy.. at least for the default Scheme. But I need to rework the "custom button colors" for Dark Schemes.

Which screenshot application were you using? Anything I can do to help?

[the joe phase @thejoephase]

I just vibe coded an entirely frivolous screenshot tool in Motif so it matches @maxxdesktop aesthetically. The UI has not one single feature except what I, personally, use, and doesn’t even need an affordance because only I will use it, and I already know what it does.

[MaXXdesktop @maxxdesktop]

@thejoephase Cool little tool :) As for the copy & paste on Motif/X11, it's a known limitation of CEF applications. The content of CEF clipboard is not properly copied over the primary buffer on X11/Wayland.

Here's the latest on the Irix FileManager for MaXXdesktop. Getting there.

[MaXXdesktop @maxxdesktop]

Here's something that you all have been waiting for..

[MaXXdesktop @maxxdesktop]

Finally!! Vacations are in full effect. Already start working on the new version. Teasers coming soon. I just need to remember how it’s done 😬🫥

@ViceroyMO Three weeks vacations,
New version Jan 2026

[MaXXdesktop @maxxdesktop]

Good morning all. I am going to upload Octane around 2pm EST (UTC-5). Long week at work.

[MaXXdesktop @maxxdesktop]

@the0_keist Yes it was for 1-2hrs… my bad.

[MaXXdesktop @maxxdesktop]

@maniaUFO Not real.. just look at the lips. It’s AI generated BS. Shame tho

[MaXXdesktop @maxxdesktop]

@Amy86904493 Does the window manager runs? It would be easier for me to support you if you were on our Slack workspace.

[MaXXdesktop @maxxdesktop]

Hello everyone. Only a few days before the release of Octane. Can't wait to put that one behind us and focus on exciting new stuff (iconCatalog, fm and User Preference Panels). Any last wishes or fix that I've missed?

[MaXXdesktop @maxxdesktop]

@ludbald About what? Sorry didn’t follow much lately

[MaXXdesktop @maxxdesktop]

@ludbald You got to show me how you got this running…

[MaXXdesktop @maxxdesktop]

@ludbald I love it… CDE + MaXX, next Aliens are humans from the future 🤪

[MaXXdesktop @maxxdesktop]

@ludbald Yes, cause I provide dynamic shared libraries. As long as the "app" is linked against Motif 2.3.8'ish, it should work out of the box. Linux ABI is tricky, but manageable when done right. Hit me if you are getting issues, cheers!

[MaXXdesktop @maxxdesktop]

@ludbald I wasn't aware... thanks for the share. I will contact him/her and see if we can join forces.
