A DCOP interface for KDE window manager designed to allow communication between applications and the window manager in Linux environments.
WMIface is a powerful KDE Window Manager DCOP Interface that offers an efficient platform for DCOP scripting of the running window manager. This KDED module supports scripting of the KWin window manager, while a separate module can run any EWMH-compatible window manager in KDE.
With WMIface, users have access to numerous examples of DCOP scripting for various use cases. For instance, users can launch Konqueror and close it after a specific duration. The command reads konqueror --name dotkonqueror & sleep 10 window=$(dcop kded wmiface findNormalWindows "" "dotkonqueror Konqueror" "" "" 0 false) dcop kded wmiface closeWindow $window.
The platform also allows for the smooth cycling of virtual desktops. The command reads while true; do sleep 10 desktop=$(dcop kded wmiface currentDesktop) total=$(dcop kded wmiface numberOfDesktops) if test $desktop = $total; then dcop kded wmiface setCurrentDesktop 1 else dcop kded wmiface setCurrentDesktop $(( desktop + 1 )) fi done.
Another feature of WMIface is the ability to minimize all KWrite windows simultaneously. The command to achieve this is dcop kded wmiface findNormalWindows "" " Kwrite" "" "" 0 false | while read ln; do dcop kded wmiface minimize $ln done.
In summary, WMIface offers an excellent platform for DCOP scripting of KDE Window Manager with powerful features that enhance user experience.
