Steam doesn't start on current develop branch #135

Closed Niedzwiedzw closed 3 years ago

Describe the bug

when running steam either from dmenu or from the terminal it doesn't show. Maybe it's due to tray not being supported.

To Reproduce

  1. open terminal
  2. type steam

    Expected behavior

I should see steam windows running

Develop is as it sounds I'm afraid: if you are looking to use Penrose as your daily driver you should stick to the latest release on crates.io.

I have run steam previously under Penrose so I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working due to not having a systray...

If you can gather some more details about what is happening (debug logs are useful) then please do add them to the issue.

As a general rule, expect Penrose to support fewer things than other window managers:

  1. It is a library for you to write a window manager (not a full stand alone system out of the box)
  2. It is a hobby project that was started less than a year ago and I am the sole developer (excluding a couple of user submitted patches) :wink:

Closing as this is related to develop at the time of raising and there has been no follow up
