Software Release sxwm v1.8 release

Post image

Hey guys, this may be the last proper release of sxwm. I think all the needed features are there and it works great.

I spent a long time cleaning up the codebase and stuff so this is more of a fixes release.

Reminds me of my friends SHARP brand flip phone from way back in the day when the screens were still black and white. I loved that thing and it wasn't even mine lol. Very cool desktop.

I like having full and proper windows, but wow this looks great. Your setup would be amazing on a E-Ink monitor.
