Ion is yum

Posted Wednesday, November 23rd 2005 @ 10:34AM

I just upgraded to the development version of Ion, and I've fallen in love with it all over again.

Gnome certainly is nice, but so is knowing where your windows are without hunting for them or using the mouse. Streamlined and delish.

All that's left is getting the wireless info in the status bar working properly, and I think it's probably as close to a perfect working environment as I can get. (especially now that the annoying gtk-focus bug was finally fixed after two years.) This is also forcing me to look at Lua a little closer. Woot.

Yep, completely. Even has 'special' keybindings for hopping screens versus hopping frames. Holla' if you start using Ion3, I've already got some custom keybindings that make life easier. (Stuff like attaching a floating workspace inside of a framed one, etc. Really nice for using Gimp without having 20 workspaces open.) :)
