+ | ====== Axium ====== | ||
+ | Axium is a project to create an SDL based Xserver. Code is based on either tightvnc's server or Xvfb's code. | ||
+ | ====== Why? ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | SDL provides a way to code for a multi platform, hardware independent X server and can even be ran within an exist Xserver. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The idea is to eliminate as many visual interfaces as possible. Similar to tiling window mangers, axium aims to get out of the way of the programs running. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Integrated into Axium is a window manager and a terminal. The terminal is the focus of axium and all aspects of axium are controllable through the terminal. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The show-terminal key brings up a translucent terminal. The show-mini-terminal key brings up a 25% to 15% of full-height translucent terminal that hovers over the application. The mouse is supported, but mouse clicks can be sent via the terminal. | ||

+ | |||
+ | ====== The Name ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | AXIUM - the prefix a like in atypical, XI for X Installation. Or something. I dunno, I just like the name. |
