This is awesome! I couldn't get wget to work, so I made a pastebin for it. I figured I should post it here. By the way, I couldn't get Strafe to work with it for some reason- The shell button wouldn't come up in the bar. (Screenshot: https://imgur.com/oSLXHfY)
Pastebin:

Command:

pastebin get viDbg5zQ

The shell button should be on the lower right hand corner of the monitor. I didn't quite like the way the whole shell thing worked - so, I made some changes in a newer version. I'm still testing it, but if you want to try it, here's the url: https://github.com/k...op/apps/mwm.lua

The new version has clipping support - so overlapping windows now update correctly.

Most of the program could be used to create a terminal window manager.With the current functionality, I can't easily make it do both modes.
